As a Navy man and man of honor and discipline, he could not take what he saw going on at White House. Perhaps he was upset of the not so begnign neglect of our soldiers in Afghanistan.

Lippert is Obama's point man for Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga...IF you believe Jerome Corsi:

Who is Mark Lippert?

IMHO, I have always found Corsi to be somewhat of a kook.

IIRC Lippert is a Navy SEAL. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had become fed up with the WH and Obama.

I'm not impressed with his CV.

Mark Lippert on wiki

Yep...kinda slim except to point out that he's a Dim.

OTOH, becoming a SEAL is a transformational thing and maybe he's mending his liberal ways.

I don’t think he was a Navy SEAL. Just because he was an IO, does not mean he was a SEAL?

Per the linked Wiki and the referenced Newsweek article:

“He won’t say where he went in Iraq or precisely what he did there, except that he worked with Navy SEALs.”

He’s a JG IO attached to a SEAL Team.

He is not an operator.
