Lt. Ilario Pantano left his family to be a soldier and support our military by putting his own life on the line. After 9/11 he left a job at Goldman Sachs to help defend America. To defend our freedom and fight terrorism. On 4-15-2004 while in Iraq he encountered a situation where he had to do what soldiers are expected to do. He had to kill the enemy.

I need to stop and say it’s just sick seeing how our troops are being treated, as if they are supposed to act like camp counselors instead of soldiers. Talk of sending them to forms of “sensitivity training” and nonsense of that sort. They are soldiers and the Liberal media is trying to turn them into sitting ducks for the enemy. Another soldier was sentenced to 90 days hard labor and reduction in rank, for allowing a dog to bark near a prisoner. Just insane that our troops are being held back from waging actual all out war against the enemy. Someone allowing their personal dog to bark near their neighbor would probably never have been sentenced at all. While a soldier is charged for doing it near an enemy. Another soilder remains shackled while he is awaiting trail. He has not been found guilty of anything, but is being treated worse than a guilty non-soldier in solitary confinement. And not a day goes by that we don’t hear about the Haditha incident. It is as if Liberals want to “bring the troops home now” in chains or body bags!

If a soldier intentionally killed someone without cause, than of course we all want that investigated. But the circus made of any investigation has become insane. Also it is questionable that some of these matters ever became an investigation in the first place.

Oh, but this post is about Lt. Ilario Pantano, so let me get back to his experience. After Lt. Pantano had to kill the enemy he was accused of premeditated murder. Like soldiers currently accused, his name was trashed in the media. Well it turns out he was falsely accused, cleared of all charges and honorably discharged. Despite being cleared of any wrong doing he still receives death threats. One of our soldiers that fought for our freedoms is getting death threats rooted in a false accusation. The media hyped insanity has the nuts coming out of the woodwork!

Lt. Ilario Pantano has written a book about it all, titled Warlord : No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy. He spoke with Sean Hannity about his experience and related issues. It was a good discussion. Below I’ve included the first and final part of their talk, which sums things up pretty well. There were other segments of their discussion, that are not included below. Sorry I did not capture those portions, but the available parts below contain the pertinent details.
