Like Patton being court-matialed for slapping a soldier.
I can’t tell satire from reality any more. The country is too (messed) up.
Our military is being overrun by lawyers in the field. The troops are starting to loose morale with all the legalistic limits as well as rules of engagement.
They no longer feel that their leaders are on their side in these wars.
If there is any unit that you don’t want to jeopardize it is the Seals and Delta Force, because they are the ones that may need to pull an administration out of a tight spot..like the Maersk Alabama. Zero lost a lot of face with them in that operation..and it just might not come off the same way next time.
Patton was reprimanded and lost his command. He was not court-martialed.
Given the time and place, I don't think there would have been much of an outcry if he'd slapped a German soldier.
"Objective Amber" did not even meet the basic (Geneva) requirements of a soldier.
Oh!
Wait: Neither do any of the detainees in Gitmo, or soon to be in New York.
