“You could tell he was perfectly OK with killing anybody that was moving.”


In a combat zone that seems like a reasonable perspective.

Ok he was perfectly ok with killing ANYBODY that was moving.

Now let’s examine reality. Did he kill the soldier quoted, any other Americans or even our Muslim allies?

Was he accused of killing any civilian?

Didn’t another soldier confess at the trial to the murder in question? Yes.

The president made his decision. Are we really supposed to judge the president for helping a SEAL because the NYT wants to prove the SEAL was a bad guy?

Stupid, snowflake, urban-progressive Americans don’t question the endless wars in the mideast, or “color revolutions” and chaos their politicians create throughout the world.

But they are shocked that a man they send to fight these wars has been engaged in killing the enemies they created, and want to crucify him because it offends their sensibilities.

1952, 53 in Korea - a sound, a rustling bush would cause multiple volleys from M-1 rifles from everyone within earshot, and perhaps a concentration of 105 howitzer rounds for good measure. If you are in a combat zone, expect it!!

He made eight comb deployments. He survived eight combat deployments. Would that be possible did he meticulously follow the ROE then in place? Should he have hesitated before acting and considered whether every act was in compliance?
