Long time Geller Report readers know the wrongful imprisonment was unjust and punitive. We have campaigned and advicated for his release. One of the great leaders in this fight is Band of Mothers leader and GR contributor, Bev Perlson, a champion for brave soldiers wrongly imprisoned.
VIDEO: US War Hero Sgt. Derrick Miller Released From Leavenworth Prison — Wonderful News!
By Jim Host, May 20, 2019:
U.S. Army National Guardsman Sgt. Derrick Miller,an American hero, from Hagerstown, Maryland, was convicted in July of 2011 for the pre-meditated murder of an Afghan man in 2010.
Story continues below advertisementSgt. Miller is father of two little girls. At the time of the shooting of the Afghan man, Sgt. Miller was assigned to a unit within the Connecticut National Guard and was attached to the 101st Airborne Division. Following his joining of the National Guard in 2006, Miller experienced three combat deployments and had been recently promoted.
Sgt. Miller was serving life in prison with the opportunity for parole in 2020.
Sgt. Miller shot and killed an Afghan civilian following the civilian attempting to grab Sgt. Miller’s weapon during a period of intense questioning. The Afghan civilian was a suspected insurgent who was walking through Sgt. Miller’s “platoon defensive perimeter observing their defensive positions”.
Sgt. Miller was embroiled in a firefight the night he killed the Afghan man. The Afghan man was an insurgent and yet no one in the military wants to say this and directly confront the duplicitous Afghanis. The firefight was not instigated by American soldiers; the firefight was meant to kill American soldiers, and Afghan National Army fighters were nowhere to be found.
As far as the case goes, the witnesses opposing Sgt. Miller were suspicious on two accounts. The first witness was a soldier who originally backed up the claims made by Sgt. Miller regarding the event, but when threatened with being named as an accessory and “being placed on legal hold so he could not de-mobilize”, he changed his story. The other witness was an Afghan translator that was promised citizenship in the U.S. in exchange for testimony.
This man was brought to the U.S. in January of 2011 and lived on Fort Campbell in a hotel on the base at $630 per month with a van dedicated to his transportation wherever he wanted to go – all of this was on the taxpayer dime. Morality is void in this case, save for the morality of Sgt. Miller.
All of Sgt. Miller’s men returned home unharmed from their deployment.Sgt. Miller instead went to Leavenworth where he was serving a life sentence after being charged with pre-meditated murder on the battlefield.
Patriots gathered in Washington DC in September 2016 to protest for Sgt. Miller’s release.
It was at this time that Congressman Louie Gohmert and Congressman Brian Babin, both Texas Congressmen, became aware of Sgt. Miller’s incarceration. From that point forward, they fought for Derrick’s release and we are beholden to them for all they did for this American Son.
Then in March news broke that Sgt. Derrick Miller would be released from Leavenworth.
This was wonderful news for all the patriots who worked to free this American hero.
On Monday Sgt. Derrick Miller was released from Leavenworth Prison.
His mother was there to greet him!
United American Patriots was there to film it.
What wonderful news!

All these “war crimes” were a result of Obama’s fucked up ROE. All this Soldier did was kill the enemy.

President Trump should also grant him a pardon so that all his rights are restored.

You read my mind. This is heartbreaking and outrageous at the same time. Obama hated our military.
This should never have happened. Thank God for Congressman Louie Gohmert . I know for sure he is one of the few decent Republicans. I can’t imagine how he coped with this. Being imprisoned for LIFE for doing his job no less. In war the ENEMY dies.

Obama still makes my blood boil!
He frees this Muslim shiiiit and imprisons an honorable man for life. He did nothing wrong.
When at war we kill the enemy. I sure hope Trump pardons him and gives him some sort of a medal too.

This is what happens when we try to “nation build” with our military. We should be killing the enemy and breaking their stuff until they unconditionally surrender. Then the egg heads from the State Department can play at their nonsense, after our military is home…

Let them build their own countries and fight their own wars. We shouldn’t have been over there to begin with. It was another waste of time, money and lives maimed and lost. They don’t want freedom or a democracy. They want our money and help with one flavor of Islam dominating over another. Yet, except for the Kurds, other native Muslims are too cowardly to fight it out.
Kurds are an ethnic group but most of them are Sunni Muslims, of the Shafi school, fighting for the right to exist against another flavor of Islam. Sunni Turks and Sunni Arabs subscribe to a different school and that is where there is tension and fighting. It just never ends with Muslims.

The information above is very suspicious as to his guilt. Looks like a railroad job on this soldier. Great to see him out.

I agree!
The first witness was a soldier who originally backed up the claims made by Sgt.

The other witness was an Afghan translator that was promised citizenship in the U.S. in exchange for testimony.
This is what Mueller was doing to anyone associated with Trump. Squeezing them to lie and with Cohen it back fired. He still got three years for covering up for his wife. Cohen lied for his wife and also tried to implicate Trump on nonsense. It’s how the left operates.

Now you see why all the interrogation videos at Gitmo were destroyed, so the Halfrican and his cohorts would not have evidence to railroad others in service to this country.

If just goes to show how rotten and corrupt the leadership of the US military has become. Whatever happened to the muslum POS who fragged members of his own platoon in the 101st Airborne in the Mid-East? Let go for good behaviour?

More persecution of real Americans on Bathhouse Barry’s watch. The perpetrators of this injustice should themselves be incarcerated, especially the cowardly turncoat fellow soldier who did not stand by Sgt. Miller.

When muslims kill Christians they automatically become heroes by muslim communities but when Christians kill muslims they automatically get investigated by US army; is there still any wonder why the Afghan war is the longest in US history?

What I want to know is when folks will be charged for witness tampering, bribery, obstruction of justice, etc.
One witness threatened with a legal hold???? Who did that?
One witness offered U.S. Citizenship??? Who did that?
They should be in prison.

Why shouldn’t he be pardoned? After all, John Walker Linde, the US citizen who took up arms against the US and fought on the Taliban side, is being given an early release from his 20 year sentence.
Only 20 years? His captors should have killed him while they had the opportunity.

We send our men and women into battle to kill the enemy and this is the way we treat them! War is hell, enemies are to be killed or captured. Exonerate this young man and restore all the rights he fought for.

No soldier should ever be convicted of murder when fighting a war – civilian or not civilian. Remember in Vietnam how civilian children carried bombs into US encampments? All should be fair in love and war.

How do you feel about German soldiers shooting POWs who were a hindrance to operations?
They did that to British troops in France in 1940 and to Americans in the Ardennes in1944. And literally millions in the East. Is that OK? The Allies didn’t think so and hanged them. Damn right too, it was deliberate and there were alternatives. But by your logic it was OK.
If those prisoners remained a threat even disarmed, then why not shoot each one in the leg, and leave them behind for the following troops to take care of? I don’t think the War Crimes courts would have executed anyone for that.
But we can’t have civilian or disarmed combatants in captivity killed just for the fun of it.

I should have been more specific. I was not including POWs, who are enlisted enemies who have been disarmed. I was referring to enemy civilians who may be behaving in a peculiar manner sufficient to arouse suspicion that they may be a threat. I used the Vietnamese children and women as an example. These were not POWs but people who may have appeared to be innocent civilians, when in fact they were anything but.
War is hell and when you are in hell you need to do whatever you can to survive and act fast on your hunches or else you may be dead. No soldier should have to face a murder charge unless there is absolute clear evidence that s/he was never in fear of his/her life. The threshold for conviction should be very very high.

When it comes to the war on Islamic terrorism, the only crime is not eliminating Islam from the planet.

He should have been given a medal, but instead he was sent to prison. This was Obama’s doing because he killed another Muslim.

But is was perfectly fine for Obamao to kill American citizens by droning them to death without any kind of due process. Really? Where are this guy’s lawyers? But you send this guy to prison for killing an enemy insurgent? Unbelievable.

I can’t make out whether the sentence and conviction was overturned, in which case he must be in line for huge compensation, or whether he was pardoned.
If he was pardoned it means he is still guilty. I hear of prisoners refusing pardons because of that, insisting they are innocent and never did anything wrong in the first place.

I’m very thankful to all who had a hand in getting Sgt. Miller’s release.
Under Obama, the Defense Dept. became politicized, even to the point of refusing to label the Ft. Hood, Texas shooter attack a terrorist attack, but insisted on referring to it as work place violence. This was so Obama could claim that his administration had eliminated terrorism. The effect on the victims was they weren’t eligible for benefits that soldiers and veterans received as being combat veterans.
Hopefully, Sgt. Miller will be able to receive the benefits he reserves as a combat veteran who survived a grueling ordeal, and prevented an enemy plot to wipe out an American fighting unit.
How can we send American soldiers overseas when they end up being treated as war criminals for simply defending themselves?

Yes, IMMEDIATELY pardon Miller and all of the wrongfully charged men who were just doing their duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. This will be a huge morale boost for the soldiers knowing their Commander in Chief backs them up!
