You’re confusing the issue. There is no such thing as an ‘order to stand down.’ The POTUS either authorizes CBA and orders a rescue mission or he doesn’t. He obviously didn’t.
Isn't it true that the military has gamed out and planned for these types of situations?
Did they start to implement rescue plans when they were told they did not have CBA? What happened then?
We need a slogan to get past the MSM, keep it in the public consciousness, and get truthful answers to WTF happened!
