He did the right thing.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Senator Barack Obama
Senate Floor Speech on Public Debt

This also makes you wonder how many other witnesses there are to crimes of this nature who have been intimidated into not coming forward...

who now lives with the fear of payback from other soldiers. A U.S. senator has told the Army that Watt has "received threats," and the Army says it is investigating whether Watt is in danger.

I'm also curious if he would have been moved to come forward if it had just been the girl and her family who had been terrorized and killed or if it was more because his brothers were getting payback for what those soldiers did..

That's a disgusting thing to say...he did a brave thing that, whether some believe it or not, could cost him his own life. No doubt it's already cost him his career. Military types often apply the mouth closed policy to every aspect of the life and for every one officer that's praising him I'm sure 20 more aren't so happy. To try to lessen what he's done, to seek dishonor in him, is disheartening to see. I should just stick to the visa related questions on this board, the rest is really starting to make me sick.

And so he did what countless punk-rock songs had told him to do so many times before: he lived his life

10/07/2006 WEDDING DAY!

11/14/2006 AOS packet made it to 'the box' after being overnighted.

12/02/2006 Paul had biometrics

12/14/2006 AOS Forwarded to CSC AND AP Application approved.

01/17/2007 First touch of 2007 at CSC

01/20/2007 Touched AGAIN (also the 18th) come on...

February: Oops, RFE for a REGISTERED marriage certificate. Oops! Overnighted it.

02/28/2007 Paul gets email letting us know his GREENCARD is on it's way! It's done...for now!

03/09/2007 Paul's greencard arrives. And breathe...

We began with mailing the I-129 in on February 27, 2006 so the whole process took us approx. one year.

Good luck out there!

Of course it's disgusting. Her 'heroes' purposely do horrible horrible things to people with no thought of ever coming forward. Ever. She can't comprehend 'doing the right thing'.

In the article the man says the only thing that got his goat was that this Green guy had gone back to the states and all this bad stuff was happening to his 'brothers' because of what Green had done.

Don't tell me that they don't have a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy in the military.

I'm glad this guy came forward but why did it take so long if it was for the right reasons?

ETA: if you know me so well why don't you name one of my 'heros'???

Gah! Please don't make me chase down articles. I'm not putting down the military AT ALL. Like an social group they have their secrets, their loyalty to eachother, their hesitation at 'snitching on their own'...Hell, boy scouts, frats, any group have that! And this man and his family obviously have a strong loyalty and history with the military. And he's gone and put himself as the article says against some of his brothers. I applaud his actions and i'm sickened by the thought that some people in this world cant' see good without looking for the bad, that was my comment.

Was Veiled Princess being cynical with her remarks or pragmatic? I'd say the latter. Speaking up was the right thing to do on it's own merit, but that doesn't mean his motives were completely altruistic. He should be commended for doing the right thing, but that doesn't necessarily make him a hero.
