He has been fighting to stay in, but in an initial decision, the U.S. Army Human Resources Command told Martland that his appeal \u201cdoes not meet the criteria\u201d for an appeal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsequently, your request for an appeal and continued service is disapproved,\u201d the office wrote in a memo to Martland\u2026<\/p>\n<p>As first reported by Fox News, while deployed to Kunduz Province, Afghanistan, Martland and his team leader confronted a local police commander in 2011 accused of raping an Afghan boy and beating his mother. When the man laughed off the incident, they shoved him to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Martland and his team leader were later removed from the base, and eventually sent home from Afghanistan. The U.S. Army has not confirmed the specifics of Martland&#8217;s separation from service citing privacy reasons, but a \u201cmemorandum of reprimand\u201d from October 2011 obtained by Fox News makes clear that Martland was criticized by the brass for his intervention after the alleged rape. Asked for comment Tuesday on the latest decision memo, an Army spokesman reiterated, &#8220;the U.S. Army is unable to confirm the specifics of his separation due to the Privacy Act.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read more at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2015\/09\/22\/army-rejects-appeal-from-soldier-kicked-out-after-confronting-accused-afghan\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"decorated-green-beret-tossed-out-for-confronting-alleged-afghan-child-rapist\" title=\"Decorated Green Beret Tossed Out for Confronting Alleged Afghan Child Rapist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army is always looking for of a few good men, which is why it\u2019s so surprising that it\u2019s giving this soldier, a decorated Green Beret, the boot for doing what many of us would do if we found ourselves in a similar situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":43758,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,243,216,240],"tags":[132,335],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-43755","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-military","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-military"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Decorated Green Beret Tossed Out for Confronting Alleged Afghan Child Rapist<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A decorated Green Beret is being tossed out for confronting an alleged child rapist while on duty overseas.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/decorated-green-beret-tossed-out-for-confronting-alleged-afghan-child-rapist\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Decorated Green Beret Tossed Out for Confronting Alleged Afghan Child Rapist\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Army is always looking for of a few good men, which is why it\u2019s so surprising that it\u2019s giving this soldier, a decorated Green Beret, the boot for doing what many of us would do if we found ourselves in a similar situation.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/decorated-green-beret-tossed-out-for-confronting-alleged-afghan-child-rapist\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-09-22T04:39:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T01:26:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/charles-martland-600.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
