Matt Golsteyn Story

In 2010, Golsteyn was part of Operation Moshtarak, a campaign to free the town of Marjah, Helmand Province, from the Taliban. In February, a bomb killed two Marines working under Golsteyn’s command. Golsteyn and his group searched the nearby village for the bomber. A tribal leader stated that Rasoul was a Taliban member.

According to the Army, the leader did not want Rasoul to be released, and feared that if he was released, he would kill the tribal leader. According to a 2011 CIA interview, Golsteyn reported that another soldier had taken the bomber off the base and then shot and killed him. Golsteyn said he helped burn the body later.

After this revelation, the Army investigated the case but closed it without charges in 2013. Golsteyn was a guest at the Fox News Show in November 2016. Asked by host Bret Baier if he had killed a suspected bomber, Golsteyn replied “yes.” Golstyen’s admission prompted the Army to reopen the case.

Matt Golsteyn Army Trial

A few years ago, the public record began with his own statements. That record suggests that Golsteyn’s campaigners are not credible. Chances are if Golsteyn killed this person during a firefight after the suspect was shot, as his attorney claimed, neither the indictment nor the conviction for murder is plausible.

That’s why it’s highly unlikely that the Army would move in the direction of the General Court-martial if it weren’t in possession of significant evidence that indicates that Golsteyn did exactly what he said in his CIA job interview: that he executed this alleged bomber after taking the perpetrator to his house, knowing full well that he was in violation of the law.

If the evidence proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Golsteyn killed this person by catching him and “eliminating” him on the basis of his own determination that he posed a future threat. Chances are that the major is likely to be convicted.
