That has been going on for a long long time.
I recall at the time reading of many troublesome aspects of that mission. Wasn’t there also an issue with no backup bird available for SAR or fire support...something like that???
Thanks for the link, Smooth.
Watched the first nine minutes and will definitely watch the remaining 3 hours. Kudos to Gen. Boykin and Rep. Ghomert, they’re some of the good guys.
Same with me, I’ve watched about the first 10 minutes, but plan to watch the whole thing.
>And all talk off its over, nothing will come of it, hes teflon etc is to me like poison. Why do people talk like this? Because they want it to be over? They want to sound cynical and smart? To me its orc talk.<
One thing is for sure. If we the people do not get the Senate more balanced or, preferably, into a conservative majority, history shows us that nothing will be done to a democrat, liberal President. Think back to Clinton’s impeachment. There were democrat congress members who refused to even look at the evidence against Bill Clinton.
As long as the democrats are in power, the government will stay in its current, corrupt, state.
Exactly.
This Administration should NOT be ticking off Seals, CIA, DOD, Intelligence Community, or National Security personnell. It ain’t prudent.
I don’t see it as an inside job meaning the Obama administration. Possible but the more likely and obvious explanation is that Biden leaked the Seals out of incompetence and the Afghans identified them and took them out. Not buying this inside job theory.
‘Inside job’ also to mean the seven Afghans inside the helicopter. We were told it was shot down. From the inside, possibly.
When a bastahborl player says he’s queer, he rates a ‘phone call from the pretender, congratulating him for “courage” ....
Sure. From the perspective of a moral relativist who’s never mustered the balls if you’ll pardon the pun to um ‘front up’ if you’ll pardon another and/or to come clean about his own um odd-ness? The ball player’s brave!
(And He is still risen!)
OK. Yeah that kind of afghan “inside job” makes complete sense and appears to be what went down here.
Heart wrenching segments by parents of three of the Navy SEALS lost and segments from retired flag officers and former SEALS extremely critical (full well deserved) of the Obama administration and our high ranking military officers.
Maybe I see the word BOMBSHELL too many times so I’m rather Jaded.
Vaughns were on FOX again this morning with Tucker. Showed Mrs. Vaughn making the same clear statement....Obama cared more about the blood of our enemies than the blood of her son. She also stressed that her son thought his family was in danger as well. I’ve always thought it ridiculously strange that American’s would believe without proof that bin Laden was dead and buried at sea. What did SEAL Team 6 know?
bfl
DESPITE a very large increase in drone killings.
I don't believe the conspiracy either. However, I do question why so many SpecOps personnel were on one bird. I also wonder why the Afgan personnel were changed at the last moment (if true).
I highly doubt that the golfing, campaigning, self-arrgandizing, sh*thead in our Oval Office is actually involved in every military operation. Yes, Biden should have kept his big mouth shut, but I believe it was just "wages of war" that brought down that Chinook.
Remember, they were going in to backup/rescue some trapped Rangers. So there were many ragheads in the area. Also, they have countless RPG's and probably shoulder Stinger missles.
However, again, I'm surprised SO many SEALs were on one plane. In my day, the commander of the operation would not have done so.
I know this is an old thread, but I’m gonna resurrect it anyway. As to “Navy Vet’s” comments, believe what you like, but there are way too many inconsistencies and violations of policy and TTP to buy any of this B.S. What really troubles me is how few people know anything about it. I’ve been asked a number of times why none of the guys on that raid have come out to speak about it. When I reply that virtually every one of them is dead, they’re astounded and ask, “How can that be?” I shake my head and walk away...
