Michael Behenna Draws More Support

Maritime Tactical Security, a firm that provides former Navy Seals as guards on ocean-going vessels, is supporting efforts to free 1st LT. Michael Behenna of Edmond, "who has suffered at the hands of political correctness."
From the MTS website: "First Lieutenant Michael C. Behenna is a 25 year old Army Airborne Ranger who was stationed near Baiji, Iraq, north of Baghdad. Michael grew up in Edmond, Oklahoma and graduated from Edmond Memorial High School in 2002. Michael graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma and was commissioned through Army ROTC in 2006.
"1st LT Behenna served in Iraq as an infantry platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division in northern Iraq starting in September 2007. On July 31, 2008, he was charged with the premeditated murder of an Iraqi terrorist.

"Maritime Tactical Security believes that Army Ranger, 1st Lieutenant Michael Behenna was wrongfully prosecuted and subsequently imprisoned for shooting and killing a terrorist who attacked Michael during an interrogation.
