THE OBAMA POTUS IS OF COURSE DISREGARDING THE EFFORTS OF THOSE WHO WOULD FIGHT FOR OUR SIDE OF FREEDOM–AS HIS LACK OF FIGHT HAS FORCED HIM TO DO THE BUG OUT OF AFGHANISTAN AS THESE VILLAGERS WHO STOOD IN HARMS WAY TO PROTECT AN AMERICAN FROM THE TALIBAN SHOWS GREATER COURAGE THAN THIS ADMINISTRATION CAN EVER BRING TO BEAR–THE SIGN OF LEFTIST DEMOCRATS IS CUT AND RUN FOR POLITICAL REASON AS DETAILED BY ROBERT GATES–BUT THEN IT DOES TAKE COURAGE AND BACKBONE TO STAY THE COURSE OF WHICH THE POTUS BHO SHOWS NONE OF SUCH CHARACTERISTICS WHEN PROTECTING FREEDOM AND CONSTITUTION

Nearly a decade after Mohammad Gulab and his fellow villagers rescued and protected wounded Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, they remain Taliban targets—but they’ve never regretted their kindness.

Nearly eight-and-a-half years after Mohammad Gulab and his fellow villagers harbored and saved the life of a gravely wounded U.S. Navy SEAL, they say they are still proud of their courageous action and would do it again in spite of the disappointments and troubles that have followed. In the face of point-blank Taliban threats to overrun the small village of Sabray in remote Kunar Province, along the porous and mountainous frontier with Pakistan, the villagers bravely protected, gave first aid to, fed, and clothed Marcus Luttrell, the wounded Special Warfare Operator, the only survivor of a four-man SEAL patrol. A village elder even secretly carried a note hidden inside his clothing—written by Luttrell and indicating the exact spot where he could be rescued—through Taliban lines at great personal danger. “I have no regrets for what my family, my fellow villagers and I have done,” Gulab tells the Daily Beast. “We knew what the Taliban’s reaction would be from the day we carried him in our door.”

The Taliban have made no secret that Gulab, his family and other villagers who assisted Luttrell remain marked men.
