What is up with this? What are they going to do with Irbil avert they capture it? More boots on the ground to hold it for God knows how many years.
Are we really there "advising"?
I am saddened by his loss.
However, SEALs aren’t intended to be ‘advisors’ IMO. To use any of them in this capacity is Obama madness in my opinion.
Story doesn’t really support the headline. If he had been killed carrying out his EOD duties, the headline would fit. But the way the story is written, it sounds like he was just sitting in a vehicle when he was killed (without really saying how he was killed.)
This administration lies about everything so who knows what the hell is going on. I wish I could read a WaPo headline saying I had died in combat, I would by a bottle to celebrate my 100th birthday. There is just no integrity in any part of the Rat Media Complex.
So sad. Prayers for his family.
Hey lefties - its a good thing Obama “got us out of Iraq, eh?”
RIP.
Paying for the same real estate multiple times is not an American virtue. Instead, it’s a signature failure of the eight years of the Obama Kakocracy and its most arrogant, incompetent, and corrupt chief foreign officer, Hillary Clinton.
RIP brave sailor.
What a way to wage ‘war’.
Obammy should be on the front line.. not campaigning.. or on a golf course.
So we are fighting (”advising”) in Iraq again. Where is Code Pink? Where are all the war protesters?
Hypocrites.
Our US Special Forces are openly rebelling their being forced to train ISIS sympathizing Syrian / Iraqi “rebels”.
It is a disgrace what we are doing to our soldiers and people of that region.
All for creative destruction disruption.
US Special Forces sabotage White House policy gone disastrously wrong with covert ops in Syria
Jack Murphy | 09.14.2016
“Nobody believes in it. You’re like, ‘F*** this,’” a former Green Beret says of America’s covert and clandestine programs to train and arm Syrian militias. “Everyone on the ground knows they are jihadis. No one on the ground believes in this mission or this effort, and they know they are just training the next generation of jihadis, so they are sabotaging it by saying, ‘F*** it, who cares?’”
“I don’t want to be responsible for Nusra guys saying they were trained by Americans,” the Green Beret added. A second Special Forces soldier commented that one Syrian militia they had trained recently crossed the border from Jordan on what had been pitched as a large-scale shaping operation that would change the course of the war. Watching the battle on a monitor while a drone flew overhead, “We literally watched them, with 30 guys in their force, run away from three or four ISIS guys.”
Rest in peace hero. God be with your family.
RIP Hero
