"Five words of broken English from an Afghan army medic — "Capt. Rob boom, boom Taliban" — led to second-degree murder charges against Capt. Robert Semrau, his court martial heard Friday."
"At the military trial in Gatineau, Que., Maj. Steve Nolan testified that a medic named Gulamjaan made the accusation about two months after a badly wounded insurgent died on a battlefield in Helmand province."
"Nolan said the words, accompanied by a shooting gesture toward the ground, prompted him to start asking questions about the October 2008 incident. Semrau is accused of shooting the wounded insurgent, who had been disarmed."
Here is an example of some of dthe bad leadership that is in our Army. Instead of standing up for one of his Officer's, Maj Steve Nolan decided that if this got out he could get in trouble. Therefore it would be better for his personal life and most importantly his career, to start an investigation on Capt Semrau.
Stay strong Rob..
