Capt. Roger Hill / Christiana Holcomb, Esq. - The Tami Jackson Show 4/18

Published: April 19, 2017, 2:49 a.m.

b'My first guest on the Tami Jackson Show* tonight be Captain Roger Hill.\\n\\nCaptain Roger Hill is a West Point graduate, combat veteran and Bronze Star recipient who had dreamed of being a soldier since he was six years old. In 2007, Hill takes command of Dog Company, an 89-man unit of the famed 101st Airborne. The unit is full of rough-and-tumble men who are brilliant in combat but undisciplined at home. Through tough love, Hill and his First Sergeant, an old-school former drill instructor named Tommy Scott, turn the company into the top performers in the battalion.\\n\\nIn 2008, Hill and Scott lead Dog Company into combat in Wardak, the most violent province in eastern Afghanistan. For six months, the unit faces off against the Taliban. They survive ambushes, rocket fire and IEDs almost daily, and the number of wounded cuts into Hill\\u2019s unit by a third. Meanwhile, Hill himself battles his own battalion commander, a charismatic but archly political man who threatens to relieve Hill at every turn.\\n\\nAfter two Dog Company soldiers die in combat, Hill, Scott and a counterintelligence team learn the reason for the mounting casualties: A dozen Taliban spies posing as local national workers have infiltrated their base. After he captures the spies, Hill is abandoned by his higher command, setting off a ticking clock: he has just 96 hours to either release the spies and expose Dog Company to further casualties \\u2014 or defy the Army\\u2019s rules on prisoner treatment.\\n\\nIn a true story that weaves the combat action of Band of Brothers with the military courtroom drama of A Few Good Men, Hill and Scott must ultimately choose: Sacrifice their careers or sacrifice their men.\\n\\nCapt. Hill and Lynn Vincent detail the true story in a new book, sure to be a best seller, Dog Company: A True Story of American Soldiers Abandoned by Their High Command.\\n\\nListen as Capt. Hill and I discuss how current Rules of Engagement (ROE) are politically motivated and represent a grave danger to troops on the ground. This segment is guaranteed to make every patriot steaming mad!\\n\\n*******************\\n\\nIn the second 1/2 hour I will be joined by Christiana Holcomb.\\n\\nChristiana Holcomb, Esq., serves as legal counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, where she is an invaluable member of the Center for Christian Ministries.\\n\\nSince joining ADF in 2012, Holcomb has worked to protect the freedom of churches, Christian schools, and Christian ministries to freely exercise their faith without government interference.\\n\\nShe also advocates for these issues as an Alliance Defending Freedom Regional Legal Academy faculty member and as a conference speaker throughout the country.\\n\\nHolcomb earned her J.D. at Oak Brook College, graduating summa cum laude in 2010. She also completed the Alliance Defending Freedom leadership development program to become a Blackstone Fellow in 2010. She is admitted to the bar in California and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.\\n\\nChristiana will be Erik Stanley\'s Deputy on the \\u201cThe Playground Case,\\u201d the biggest case left on the SCOTUS docket, which will be heard on Wednesday, April 19.\\n\\nTrinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Pauley, dubbed \\u201cThe Playground Case.\\u201d ABC called it \\u201cthe most anticipated case in the April sitting.\\u201d Fox further described it as \\u201carguably the biggest church-state case in recent memory.\\u201d\\n\\nTrinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Pauley involves a Lutheran preschool in Columbia, Missouri that was denied state funds to improve its public playground due to a law prohibiting government aid to religious schools.\\n\\nThis case needs to be watched particularly closely because it will be the barometer for years worth of rulings striking at the heart of America\'s culture and political war. In fact, on Monday, April 17, just two days before "The Playground Case," the Supreme Court "DISTRIBUTED for Conference" the extremely controversial Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission for possible hearing later this fall.\\n\\nBehind the case representing Trinity Lutheran (and Masterpiece Cakeshop) is Erik Stanley of Alliance Defending Freedom.\\n\\nThis will be such a timely discussion: Eric Stanley, Christiana Holcomb, and the rest of the ADF legal team have been working tirelessly on this case, scheduled on the SCOTUS docket for tomorrow morning, Wednesday, April 19. And now that the High Court is at full complement with newly sworn in Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch, Americans will eagerly await the court\'s opinion.\\n\\nFollow Capt.
