SEALs-Bashing

How’s this for perversity?
Three Navy SEALs who aided in capturing a top terrorist in Iraq have been hit with a courts-martial — because the terrorist received a bloody lip during his initial detention.
How ironic, remarks the editors of the New York Post, the contrast between this treatment of the SEALs and the disinterest on the part of the Pentagon regarding Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist and Islamist who murdered 13 of his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood.
The Post sees this outrage for what it is:
The truth, of course, is that falling afoul of the diversity police is a quick way to end an otherwise promising career — and the Pentagon and FBI know it.
SEALs, on the other hand, are fair game. What a scandal.
And then there’s the little matter of self-preservation — our security:
What happens the next time America needs SEALs — and there aren’t any?
Or, at least, there aren’t any who meet traditional SEAL standards — the warriors having been chased away by the pettifoggers.
