“I’m really tough so I roll with the punches. But it made me scared for my country. The idea that a man can be snatched off his property without being read his rights I think should be extremely alarming to all Americans,” Raub stated.
Raub was arrested as part of “Operation Vigilant Eagle”, a creation of DHS, that seeks to suppress veterans who voice dissent against the government under the guise of helping those who are “disgruntled, disillusioned or suffering from the psychological effects of war.”
According to Raub’s lawyer, John Whitehead, since taking his case he’s been approached by numerous vets that have encountered the same suppression.

A Marine who was taken into custody by law enforcement after a psychotherapist hired by the local county said he believed the military man might be a danger – even though the two never had met and never had even talked on the telephone – is asking an appeals court to reinstate his lawsuit for damages.
The appeal has been submitted to the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by the Rutherford Institute and other attorneys helping the organization, on behalf of Brandon Raub.
As WND previously reported, Raub was approached by law enforcement officers from several agencies at his home. One officer consulted with a psychotherapist who never had met or even talked on the telephone with Raub. As a result of that evaluation, the officers took Raub into custody and jailed him.
The officers had contacted Raub mostly because of song lyrics he had posted on social media sites expressing distrust of the federal government and calling for the jailing of, for example, former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.
The officers opted for a “mental health evaluation” detention after both local and federal authorities said there had been no crime committed by Raub for which he could be arrested.

Well, just so it’s clear: his criticism alleging there was a conspiracy behind 911 wasn’t about Obama.. Obama wasn’t in office then (2001). He was alleging George Bush was involved in some sort of conspiracy.
That said, it doesn’t matter. The guidelines of the Uniform Code of Military Justice has different rules than the rest of us. Being caught in an extra marital affair? You can get discharged dishonorably, as an example.
The UCMJ prevents members from speaking openly against a superior officer, and has been the case for.. well, as long as I can research.. so we may not always like it, but frequently throughout history people have gotten in trouble with the UCMJ and speaking out against other officers.. it isn’t new.
