The U.S. Department of Defense has agreed to make available to Congress a Marine Corps colonel who was in command of U.S. Special Forces in Northern Africa
*********
How nice of DoD to make a key witness “available” for the peoples’ representatives. /sarc
It’s amazing it taken so long, but we all know that what’s been going on to prep the colonel for this. This will be another sandbagging.

I’ll bet one of our standup Congressman such as Trey Gowdy told someone at the Pentagon to “straighten this BS out” and make this guy available, and then slammed the phone down.

We had a squad exercise that we called “The Unsolveable Problem”. Star Trek fans will know it as The Kobiyashi Maru Exercise. No matter what the Squad Leader did, he was going to get his donkey kicked. Captain Kirk reprogrammed the computer so he could win. You couldn’t reprogram the lane evaluator. You just got your donkey kicked. You lost every Soldier in the squad. You lost them one at a time and slowly. The purpose of the exercise was to see how you handled getting your donkey kicked. Would you run away? Would you break down? All Combat Arms Officers, at least the good ones, realize that they might be called on to make some tough decisions.
“I’m going to have to sacrifice a company to save the battalion. Which company do I sacrifice?”
Tough call.
Sometimes, you have to call in artillery on your own position. What happens if it kills one of your own Soldiers? Maybe a round will get you?
Tough call.
Sometimes, you sacrifice your career. You kiss that promotion goodby. Your kid isn’t going to be able to have that computer. Your wife is going to have to work and the kids will be on their own after school. You’ll have to squeeze a few more years out of the Honda. That “Dream House” is always going to be a dream.
Tough call, but you volunteered for it. Sometimes, you just get your donkey kicked. Are you going to run away? Are you going to quit? F**k those politicians. We’re talking about brother Soldiers.

And are forcing the 30+ survivors to sign the NDA’s also an administrative error? There is something very serious about this that Obama doesn’t want Americans to know about.

Since when does being retired mean you can’t testify anyway?
