Hey, Jake:

Yes.
Yes, it is.
It doesn't matter what he meant to say.
That's what he said.
Saying 'I don't mean to be disrespectful' doesn't prevent you from being disrespectful.
At the very least he chose his words poorly.
Here's one of life's little lessons: Don't chose your words poorly when you are speaking with a former SEAL about his dead brothers.
And another thing - Has this author or TheDC got some kind of thing going on against The Blaze? I'm not a huge fan of The Blaze but what's the point of this article?
Tapper never said that they died for nothing, but Darcy’s headline makes it appear that he did.
The message of the movie is both heroic and tragic, which is the point I think Tapper was trying to make.
Jake, we had not lost the war in Afghanistan, until, dumBO took over. From then on you can take about senseless.
My favorite thing about the interview was the fear in Tapper’s eyes once he realized that this SEAL was pissed. His fear was palpable and understandable. I was amazed at Luttrell’s self-control.
jake “turd” tapper... I never liked him and I never will.
I saw it. Tapper insulted the dead SEALS, the US military, and every American. Then he tried to weasel out of it like a typical leftist.
They have precedent they can cite: Barack Obama.
2010: "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. Period. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period. Nobody's gonna take that from you."
2012: "I never said that."
He was OK while at ABC that he asked some questions that the other obama ass-lickers in the press wouldn’t ask. When you join CNN, it’s in the contract to switch sides.
Tapper was trying to insult the military. He got caught and was scared. It wasn’t about some movie.
Luttrel was hypersensitive? He is guilty only of not being a dummy. He is guilty of having an early eye for the impending ambush, an asset sharpened more quickly by watching what passes for US journalism than by his rough treatment at the hands of the Taliban.
Only a FOOL is surprised if the Spidey senses of an American fighting man kick up a notch when around the likes of a presstitute.
Basically we saw a sound and forceful ambush response. And we all should follow his example.
Am I allowed to say war is senseless anymore? Or will people think I said war is for nothing?
Obama “Bengazi was about a video...”
Crowly “Obama said Bengazi was about TERRORISM..!”
THIS OLD PATH HAS LONG BEEN CLEARLY MARKED.
No... he said senseless...and everybody knows a “senseless” death stands for something!....
Thank you for your report.
War makes perfect sense. For example: Someone destroys the WTC and kills 3000 people, it makes complete sense to go to war and wipe them from existence.
What is senseless is the ROEs this war has been fought under.
Hey, Jake:
Actually, Tapper is on to something here, but doesn't know how to discuss it without doing exactly what he did (step into a minefield).
Liberals do have a disconnect with the military because they look down on that "warrior" mindset instead of marveling at and regarding the patriotism that motivates it as a precious human attribute.
They will utterly wreck the military with their PC swill and then wail when there is no one to defend the walls when the city gets sacked by the barbarians.
That day is coming.
If he insulted every American who voted for a foolish politician, then that is a good thing. We are in a bad place as a nation. We all need to beg for God’s forgiveness and mercy.
