Montel Williams Joins the Fight to Rescue U.S. Marine Stuck in Mexican Prison

WILLIAMS: “Sergeant Tahmooressi is one of those guys who did two deployments. He has been diagnosed with PTSD. And I’m not trying to say this in a negative way, but my man is suffering from a mental illness right now. Now, is it appropriate and compassionate to keep this man in jail because he made a mistake? And part of this is all because of politics … This young man’s been in jail, in a prison since April 1st. And I get it, there’s a lot of stuff going on in the world right now. We have issues that we’re dealing with all over this planet. We have to worry about the next set of soldiers that we send into Syria or we send in Iraq, I get it. But if we have one right now that we could save, why not go save him?”
