Soldier fighting for its country to face stupid charges in the US

Tweet

My room mate was reading the local newspaper today.. And she told me that I need to read this, "Soldier in Afghanistan charged in harassment". I was like what you have to be joking... Here is the article from my local paper: "Charges of invasion of privacy have been filed against a man currently serving overseas after he allededly violated an order of protection filed by his ex-girlfriend. Police filed the charges after the man (whom I will not name, its not fair to him or his family) called the woman on Friday from his base in Afghanistan. The phone call violates the order." First of all he is over seas.. Does a restraining order cover this? Second point this man is over there fighting for us, and we are going to send him home for a phone call... Lets get real here, people in the military can only call home once and a great while... So if the man knew that he had a restraing order against this woman, do you really think that he would waste the call to someone that does not want to talk to him? I also think that its wrong that this woman would even call the cops on this man, just tell him that there is an order of protection, and tell him not to call again... to call the cops.. cant you give the guy a break, he is fighting for your freedoms... DOES THIS NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO PEOPLE ANY MORE??!?? Unfornatuly some of our TROOPS die on a DAILY BASIS... and a phone call.. The other memebers of his squad are missing his help.. what is more important, a day in court or a soldier doing their duty on the battefield? This is crazy... The men and women that wear a uniform should be commiended not put behind bars, by the country they love and are willing to shead their blood for... Personally I find this very dishearting... What are do you think? and please be respectful they do a lot that we dont give them enough credit for.
