SFC Charles Martland is currently being discharged for helping a Afghan boy who was tied to a pole and raped for days

Sergeant First Class (SFC) Charles Martland’s fate could be decided at any day. If you don’t know the story of this decorated Green Beret – a Bronze Star Medal recipient – you need to watch this moving and impassioned speech delivered by an Army veteran, state legislator (from my home state). Virginia Delegate Nicholas Freitas served in the same battalion as SFC Martland – the Third Battalion, First Special Forces Group. He tells how “a small boy had been tied to a post and brutalized for days,” how the boy’s mother pleaded for help, how the Afghani police officer who raped the boy laughed about it, and how SFC Martland took action to defend the boy and “punish” his attacker.
