This needs to be brought up again. We suffered a major human and equipment loss that day in something highly coordinated and highly planned, probably at least in part because of the policy of “partnering” with the Afghanis, which has resulted in numerous troop deaths at their hands. I read that it is thought that the information about the weak point in the defenses and the layout was supplied by an Afghani who had trusted access to the base. Also, letting them build a “farm” , which was actually the base from which the Taliban launched the attack, right near the base was utterly foolish.
This needs examination and hearings, in my opinion. But instead it has disappeared.
The morale of our country’s military is in the balance in this election, we have the most advanced military in the world, and yet that can be undermined by weak leadership and, more importantly, by policies DESIGNED to make America weak, the Good Lord help us if Obama is re-elected, as the son of a deceased military officer, I can’t imagine how he would feel at this point...
