As a former boat driver for the Teams,I count many of our support people and ex-SEALs and ex-UDTs as fellow warriors and brother's in arms. All of us would have reacted exactly the way Marcus Lutrell did to Jake Tapper's questions.

What is senseless is the ROEs this war has been fought under.

Exactly. I was bad under Bush. It is three fold worse under Obama. It comes from thinking like this: Trapper, "And at the same time I know that there were bad people there and good people that need help.”"

The good people he is referring to are our enemy, not Americans. Afghanis harbored UBL and the Taliban. They do not have the moral fortitude to do the right thing. The reason is very simple. They are amoral. They are Muslims. We are at war with the cult of death, despite those calling it the religion of peace. ROE's the protect your enemy and put Americans at risk is treason. F collateral damage. American lives are more important. Our nation has had a problem with target identification since WWII, except maybe in Grenada, LOL, we won that one, and haven't had problems with them since.

Senseless means stupid. Tapper is saying that the soldiers are stupid and they lack sense. He’s saying they are senseless brainless idiots.

Thank you, for your service. The parachute rigger's job is one of the most important for those in aviation that have cause to jump from their aircraft. The PR has to do his job correctly EVERY time because the lives of other men rest directly in his hands and with his skills.

Luttrel was hypersensitive? He is guilty only of not being a dummy. He is guilty of having an early eye for the impending ambush

WTF are you smoking? He is the one who insisted that enemies be cut loose an allowed to walk down the mountain so they could get other soldiers to come back for an attack.

Luttrell was the one who caused this disaster. Just because one wears the uniform does not mean they are above criticism.

Nonsense. If they had killed the old man with the radio and the 20 yo who looked to be Taliban, no charges would have been brought. They were clearly the enemy.

Luttrell is the one who caused this disaster.

Tapper is a typical leftist who bashed Bush but never Obama.

I suggest you get all your facts in order before pontificating - you sound like a liberal when you base your response on only some of the facts (or on the facts that you choose).

In case you're interested, the REAL reasons the mission went wrong are because they lost communications and because their backup wasn't readily available. And, they lost communications and their backup wasn't readily available because it was during a time when the military was trying to shuffle troops to Iraq and the assets were stretched!

Luttrell was in several interviews and said repeatedly that the movie was ACCURATE.

In the movie, it was HE WHO INSISTED on freeing the Taliban. The failed comms were only part of the problem. His decision making was the main issue.

Get a clue. Jut because someone wears the uniform does not mean they are above criticism. His mistake cost 19 live that day.

And, in both the book and the movie, although subtle, the backup (and comms) were not available when needed.

I’ll forego the personal attacks and repeat that any self-respecting conservative would get the facts straight, especially before criticizing an American hero, unless you really are a low-information leftist.

You are kind of making my point.

With the comms down and not working, it was more imperative than ever that Luttrell and his group contain any walk ons. They did not do so, dooming the entire group, along with those who tried to rescue them.

Letting the enemy walk free is FAIL every time it is tried. Stop defending the indefensible simply because the guy wears a uniform.

Because I do not like Glenn Beck? I do not know one Republican or conservative who likes Glenn Beck. If that means I have poor taste, I shall wear that banner with pride. There is not one thing to like about him, nor respect.

I agree. My use of the word moron was harsh. I should have expressed myself better. Thank you for correcting me. I needed it.

No, you have poor taste because you’re a Tapper fanboy. He’s just another lying liberal reporter.

Beck is a nut.
