Released Army ranger: Remember imprisoned colleagues: 'Leavenworth 10' seen as 'victims of untenable rules of engagement'
Released on parole after serving five years at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Ft. Leavenworth for killing an al-Qaida terrorist, Army Ranger Michael Behenna doesn’t want the nation to forget the nine military service members with similar stories who remain at the Kansas penitentiary.
In an interview Thursday with Michael Savage, who called Behenna “an American hero unfairly charged and convicted,” the former first lieutenant noted he was among what activists call “The Leavenworth 10,” soldiers or Marines incarcerated at Ft. Leavenworth for killing members of al-Qaida or Iraqi insurgents.
Savage told Behenna: “You’re such a soldier, you don’t want to leave anyone behind.”
The website for “The Leavenworth 10,” who are serving from 10 to 40 years in prison, says “they and their families have fallen victim to the untenable Rules of Engagement, demoralizing ‘Catch and Release’ policies, and climate of political correctness that govern our troops’ actions while trying to survive a combat zone.”
