“Where the hell was air support?”
It was hanging out with due diligence and reading comprehension.
“F-15 fighter jets hit about 20 Islamic State targets in an effort to repel the attack, the official said.”

“ISIS kept sending in suicide bombers, SEALs pounded them and the [U.S.] airstrikes did a lot to help.”
This was the only statement in the article about air support. Trumpinator added the “F-15” statement later.
My point is: If we are going to have US assets on the ground, especially SEALs, then by God we should have overwhelming air support to annihilate any threat from ISIS, not just a few sorties from F-15s. In addition to what I posted earlier I would also add AC-130 gunships and Apache helicopters.

20 F-15 strikes is rather substantial air support. About 80,000 lb.s of ordinance.

It has always been America’s great fortune to have brave men willing to fight and to yield their lives for a cause greater than themselves.
Men of principle and of honor.
Often asked and seldom answered: where do we get such men?

Trumpinator added the “F-15” statement later. That was not me.

The Pentagon needs to be fired. This is a tragedy.

Maybe the Pentagon can replace him with one of those new Super Woman types we hear are going to be so great?
