And Ham is Houseman? Frankly I’d rather have a Gen. Scott around for a change.
I think Obama is playing with fire here.
He’s sacrificed 2 SEALs and untold CIA assets, and interfered with longstanding ROEs for diplomatic defense/rescue.
I don’t think that any James Mattoon Scott types would have gotten a third or fourth star in the past 20 years, but I am almost certain that there are more than a few O5s and O6s, as well as some civilian intel badasses and PMCs, who both know the back story and who love the country.
Right now, if I were in their shoes, I’d be leaking and waiting ten days to see if the People have figured it out.
However, if worst comes to worst, it could get interesting.
