So they are now publicly acknowledging Delta exists?

Please tell me they did NOT give the name of the operator. If they did, it would only confirm my suspicion that this White House truly wants to destroy the Military.

As the article points out, the new information here is the name of the soldier and the citation. The report in November pointed out that two Delta members had received valor awards, one a DSC and one a Navy Cross (he is a Marine). The names and details were not released at that time.

The problem, of course, is that no one in Washington cares and no one who is going to vote for Hillary gives a flip as long as they continue to get their free stuff.
