A decorated retired Air Force officer who witnessed one of the most deadly attacks on Navy SEALs in U.S. history is breaking her silence, saying the government covered up evidence detailing that the 2011 downing of a Chinook helicopter gunship that killed 38 fighters in Afghanistan could have been prevented had it not been for restrictions to the military's rules of engagement that were changed under the Obama administration.

That was hard to read. Not just due to the subject matter, but the tortured syntax, mangled metaphors, and generally sophomoric style.
“hone in on”? “rocket-launched grenade”? Really?
Still, further proof of 44’s micro-management that cost scores of brave soldier’s lives.
Ahmed obama is like a really bad case of lip and genital herpes; he’s the gift that keeps on giving... bad news.
I hope true justice finds that guy one day soon and he finds himself on the receiving end of a guilty verdict looking at 30-life for what he did.
Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. Very hard to read and understand the points.
E17 was a fluke. Plain and simple. Stupid ROE’s and poor leadership decision’s.
Exactly what most of us thought happened. But, I am also curious how she “retired” as a lowly captain.. Wonder what there is behind that o.O
The death of the SEALs is tragic.
Are we really deploying an AC130 to attack eight fighters? How is that protecting the US homeland?
What the hell are we still doing there?
The only way you can be a retired Captain and see if you were prior enlisted. The minimum rank to retire is Major for officers. However, you can be medically retired at any rank.
Thank God we removed that abhorrent administration out of the White House
Now if we could only get it out of the government.
Yeah, didn’t think of the prior enlisted scenario.. Just seemed odd.
When that happened, I thought it was the end of the world. I couldn’t believe obama was our CinC.
I guess sometimes you gotta stomp on a scorpion with a boot or shoot it with a shot gun. Just kill’em All and let Allah sort’em out.
seems perfectly reasonable to me.
That's not even the worst example of cost-effectiveness that I've read about. What about all those strikes where the jets bring back their ordnance because somebody (it's never said where) refused clearance to fire? The pilot assumes almost the same risk whether he (or she) is dropping ordnance or not. Plus the cost of the sortie is lost. What about 59 Tomahawk missiles fired at that Syrian airbase where they reportedly tried to avoid creating too many casualties? That's a heckuva salvo that only destroyed a handful of aircraft and didn't even take out the runway (not that the runway couldn't be patched in 24 hours).
No doubt Obama condoned and probably abetted this. Evil piece of sub-human garbage.
“””Permission denied
That night it didn’t matter, because the gunship was not given permission to fire. “We had seen two of them (insurgents) moving, crawling away from the area, as to not really make a whole lot of scene,” she recalled.
Monitoring the scene from above, she relayed the scene to the ground force commander. “You have two enemy forces that are still alive,” she said. “Permission to engage.”
They were denied.””””
SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Because of the newly added wacko rules of engagement they died..........
