| Duncan Hunter accuses Army of retaliation with criminal investigation of whistleblower |
| 2015-05-29 |
| [Wash Times] A member of the House Committee on Armed Services is accusing the Army top brass of launching a criminal investigation against a Green Beret war hero as a way to retaliate against the congressman. Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, has battled Army headquarters on a number fronts in recent years, such as a faulty ground intelligence network and what he considers unprofessional treatment of soldiers denied or stripped of awards. The ill feelings erupted in a heated exchange with Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, Army chief of staff. At a 2013 hearing, Mr. Hunter, a former Marine officer and a committee activist, accused the Army of holding back off-the-shelf technology that helps soldiers in Afghanistan find the enemy. "I'm tired of somebody telling me I don't care about our soldiers," Gen. Odierno shouted. Now, the Army's Criminal Investigation Command is investigating Lt. Col. Jason Amerine for his collaboration with Mr. Hunter's staff on legislation to overhaul the Obama administration's hostage policies and hopefully win the freedom of captured Americans. |

| #5 FYI it was him and his division that fumbled the overrun of the Sunni areas which resulted in the insurgency growing like mad there - including his ROE that had patrols back on base instead of Gen McMaster's "engage and stay" strategy that ultimately broke the insurgency after Odie was out of the way. He did end up carrying out McMasters proven successful strategy during his command of the MNF, after JCF pretty much forced the issue at the behest of President Bush. He is also the architect of the shrinking of Army manpower to 450K - instead of publicly fighting for whats right, he goes along and gets along. |

| #1 Cause in this Administration and its apparatchiks 'caring' is far more important than accomplishing anything viable. |
