The EXEMPT treasonous, abdicated, MI”A”,
US Congress is C O M P L I C I T.
I think Obama wasn’t too happy about OBL being taken out, so he organized a hit along with the Taliban.
All I know is that the mission which led to their deaths made no sense.
I’m from Missouri. If OBL is dead, Show Me. Otherwise, something’s afoot.
Dead men tell no tales.
Michael Savage(aka the Weiner) is like cards hitting the spokes on your brand new Schwinn bicycle.
At first they’re kinda kewel.
After a while they tatter, look like crap and sound awful....then they fall off.
I think that this is all nonsense. As as guy who did this in combat near and over the borders of Laos and Cambodia and who understands the limitations of helicopter operations in a hostile enviornment, I think that these conspiracy rants are comical. RPG’s are not very good against aerial targets, but all it takes is one to ruin your day. The CH-47 that was carrying these special operators was not a special ops version, it was much closer to the version that supported me in Vietnam. But, despite the lack of bells and whistles ,it was a capable aircraft and was flown by competent crews of National Guard soldiers from Olathe, Kansas. Like many National Guard aviators, they had lots of flying hours and were very good at what they did. But, ragheads and RPG’s get lucky from time to time. It happened in my day and it has happened in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I think that the implication that these pilots were second rate and their equipment was not up to the task is just bogus. They were not flying a mission that required the extra capabilities of the aircraft of the 160th SOAR, and the crews were as good as they get. Certainly as good as the kids who flew me across the borders in Vietnam.
Michael Savage is an idiot, believe him at your peril
Michael is a little slow. This was news a year or more ago.

Thanks for posting Fishtank.
Basically the families will not recover damages for the deaths of these heros. The Feres doctrine will apply.
Feres v. United States, 340 U.S. 135 (1950), combined three pending federal cases for a hearing in certiorari in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the United States is not liable under the Federal Tort Claims Act for injuries to members of the armed forces sustained while on active duty and not on furlough and resulting from the negligence of others in the armed forces. The opinion is an extension of the English common-law concept of sovereign immunity.
The practical effect is that the Feres doctrine effectively bars service members from collecting damages from the United States Government for personal injuries experienced in the performance of their duties. It also bars families of service members from filing wrongful death or loss of consortium actions when a service member is killed or injured. The bar does not extend to killed or injured family members, so a spouse or child may still sue the United States for tort claims, nor does it bar service members from filing either in loco parentis on their child’s behalf or filing for wrongful death or loss of consortium as a companion claim to a spouse or child’s suit.
Can you imagine what the bill would have been for the hundreds of 36th Infantry Division dead at the Rapido River in 1944 Italy, the 500 plus dead at Slapton Sands in the Operation Tiger manuevers before D-Day, the thousands of casualties in Operation Market Garden, or any number of military fiascos over the course of the 20th and 21st centuries? The treasury would be bankrupt.
None of this means that those who may be responsible for any criminal complicity in their deaths should or would not be liable to criminal prosecution for their actions. Should that be shown to be so, they oughta get the death penalty by hanging.
