"I'm ridiculously happy right now" ... Navy SEAL Matthew McCabe not guilty

In an interview at 6:30 Thursday evening with Brett Bair on Fox News, U.S. Navy SEAL Matthew McCabe, 24, said he was "ridiculously happy right now" minutes after he was found not guilty of charges of assaulting an alleged Iraqi terrorist, failing to protect him, and lying to investigators. Two fellow SEALs were found not guilty at earlier trials.

From Fox News:

Ever since charges were brought against the Navy SEALs last year, there has been a huge outpouring of popular support for the defendants. Rallies were held at which the men were described as heroes rather than criminals. Websites helped raise defense funds and at least 20 members of Congress called for the charges against them to be dropped. The military, however, insists it has a zero tolerance for detainee abuse and that all members of the services are duty-bound to follow the law.

Shades of Vietnam ... we need to support our military and be grateful they are willing to sacrifice for our freedoms.
