US military personnel involved in a devastating airstrike on a hospital run by Doctors Without Borders in (Kunduz) Afghanistan last year have or will be punished...
The bombing... left 42 people dead.
... the US military blamed human error for the airstrike...
President Barack Obama has apologized...

Doctors Without Borders supports terrorists, literally.
This is why Putin wins wars, and we can not.
As far as I’m concerned, “Doctors without Borders” should be “Doctors within Borders.”
Try Appalachia, try rural Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and so on. Plenty of little American children that haven’t seen a one of you because you can’t get the same adoration from taking care of your own..
President Barack Obama has apologized...
And Hillary mentioned the fog of war, regarding what happened in Benghazi, as reasons why she herself has no responsibility or accountability for that.
So what are we saying?? High officials are exempt from any accountability, and can use the fog of war excuse, but lower level people will find themselves in legal trouble for errors caused by fog of war????
The “hospital” had Taliban in it and they were shooting at US troops. The suppression strike was justified. The Medicins sans Frontiers are the Taliban medics
These doctors and staff from this country should take into account that there are people here who need medical help and that should be their first priority.
Obama knew nothing
He saw it on the TV news
Once again the Joint Chiefs and general staff fail to back the troops.
It isn’t as glamorous and widely regaled to take care of your own business, frankly. Lots of EGO involved here and lots of foreign attention that really is based on pandering liberalism with a political bent. I wouldn’t give that organization one damned nickel.
What do we know about DWB? Why would our military strike a particular building, unless it was known to harbor enemy combatants? How many of the killed and wounded were raghead combatants who’d been hiding behind the (H) sign? Are some of the DWBs of the screwy mindset that America and Israel are always in the wrong, and intentionally harbor those terrorists?
Hey DWB! If you don’t want creamed, don’t let terrorists use your facility as a duck blind.

What do you mean “we” kimosabe? Only the new American Socialist Party members (the AMZI’s) see it that way. I look forward to us being sufficiently fed up to start pushing these idiots on the left out of our lives. We actually have a Socialist running for resident.
Enough already. Ted, The Donald, shit, I’d settle for ANYONE with an R after their name, get them in and then start a full on assault on the House, Seanate and SCOTUS seats and eliminate the bastards from our public square.

You are correct but it seems that this administration sees only what it wants to see, a declining U.S. Military presence in the Mid-East. I can’t wait until “he” is gone, really. The rules of engagement are ridiculous, for infantry, cavalry and aircraft, ridiculous. Lemme fight with my hands tied behind my back.

From the article:
“Colonel Patrick Ryder, a spokesman for US Central Command, said yesterday: ‘I can tell you that those individuals most closely associated with the incident have been suspended from their duties and were referred for administrative action.’
“More than 10 military personnel face administrative action, another official said.
“He said this can range from ‘negative counseling’, or being told not to do something again, to a letter of reprimand, which generally blocks further promotion. Removal of command is also a possibility.”
And another bunch of our best troops bite the PC ROE dust. Honestly, in any conflict with the Russians or Chinese it will not matter if all our weapons beat theirs - they will win hands down while someone is prosecuting some troop for a ROE violation and others return to base unable to get the legal permission to unload their ordnance on obvious targets. But the High Command will be handing out ribbons and medals to each other feeling good about their ‘efforts.’
Its Obama’s way of depressing the military.
Right. Blame the troops. “The buck never got here.”
He fixed that issue. When directed in the future to attack something...they will sit around for weeks discussing options and eventually decline the order given.
Of course you blame someone else.....that’s the Obama way. Never accept responsibility for anything.
Doctors Without Borders=Spies for the Bad Guys.
Are we SHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRREE that there bombing was a “mistake”????
