Eelman letter: Reinstate soldier

The recent article on “Lawmaker: Reinstate soldier who tried to stop child rape,” and the officer who lost his command. What kind of message is that sending to our young soldiers, and our children at home? Next, we might get the devil to fight sin. Will we be bringing these “brave” commanders, who are armed and trained by the USA, to the USA and allow them to become pedophile citizens? We have enough of those now. Better get out of Afghanistan and stop supporting barbarians.
