And have you been in war zone, as you do not seem to have a clue about what war is about and what it is like to see guys blown up and be shot at

There are plenty on here can vouch for me if I served or not and where I did but for you to say that I do not care about them when my friends are still serving there.

for you to say that we should be getting an islamic send off for the man responsible for thousands of lives is insane and not even the Dems I know agree with you

Another thing earlier today i spoke with the school bus driver who was a firemen at GZ and he does not agree with you either and I could not even wrote on here what he thinks should be done or should have been done

your softy approach to war is astounding and more intuned now with the Dems but more the fringe anti war

EXACTLY

Giving this scumbag a islamic send off ordered by obama is the most disgusting thing I have heard for some time.

The man should have been displayed in front of reporters for them to verify and for the muslims to see for evidence not a religious prayer service and he GOP had better raise this crap too

"Oh, yeah, that's a good reason to get on your knees and kiss muzzie asses. /s"

Sure that's persuasive. After all, why would anyone listen to the advice of the guy who literally wrote the book on counter-insurgency and who was the principle architect of success in Iraq, after almost five years of heavy combat.

What could that guy possibly know?

Sure, me and David Petraeus - real "softies".

Like I said, the more you talk the less believable you become.

He sure has won over Karzai hasn’t he? And why was that UN compound nearly unprotected? Petraeus is a political appointee who has gone native.

And you won't see the SEALS coming on TV discussing how they got him. It's not part of their job to go to Oprah, CNN, Fox, etc to talk about what they do. They are covert. They go in and they get the job done and leave with no evidence as to who they are. They let some high level, good speaking, no-nothing, camera savy, goon take all the credit for their work. And they like it that way.

Thank you. I never heard of muslim burial at sea before.

It was a convenient way to get rid of non-evidence.

What a charade.

I accept the death...I don’t accept the way it’s been handled at all where once again this administration appeases Moslems by having “special” burial rites given to this animal without considering those who lost their loved ones in 9/11...not to mention the soldiers living who have lost major body parts due to this animals actions.

Then to further rub in the salt...dump his body without letting us see any photos or evidence that they got him.

Since Obama has such a high opinion of himself I’m sure it’s more “Trust ME”....He’s always putting himself front and center...above congress, the people, the courts and pretty much anyone or anything.

There a plenty on here who can vouch for me and my service

OK where was you if you served, any combat roles anything?

As for fighting, have you fought? Ever seen men blown up from an IED or was you on a sailing ship?

See maybe you might not have noticed but your views are more intune with the left anti war movement and not on here.
read the posts to you.

Also this is not the first time I’ve seen you defending obama and his policies but now saying he was right to give this scum bag a service is way over the top

I get a call from Kabul usually on a Friday from a pal still serving and he tells me how things still are how about you, where do you get your info from

don’t even think for one minute that your softy approach to war is what we are

I will say it beats burying him in a mausoleum near his hometown, like Saddam.

you seem more in tune wiht the anti war movement not on here and if you took a second then you would see that

your pansy approach is pathetic and not one vet I know or one of my pals still serving speaks like you s I have to wonder of you have ever seen death on a battle field

I’m bringing my service up to you as you brought it up to another poster and have no problem comparing.

now as for you saying that we should give him a prayer service the mass scum murderer so as not to piss of muslims then you have no cue and do us all a favor change the record about convincing you.
