Are you denying that violent death is not a reality of war, or just pissed of because it’s being witnessed? I’ve been to war, I’ve bleed, I’ve zipped up body bags and I still shed tears. I want those that send us to war to witness it’s violent results, I want them to see it everyday until they can’t stomach the images. Maybe then they won’t be so quick to start one.
Going after Boko Haram, the African branch of ISIS.
Unless you’d prefer Boko Haram take over Nigeria and sell its oil for profit to buy more weapons and take more territory.
Not true. I got the vid from a very different source. Someone actually in DC. The NYT is fake news and leftist/Muslim propaganda. They should be banned from posting here.
The video you posted is ISIS propaganda. Nice job. The NYT actually posted a graphic of the attacked with back story. The graphic doesn't show the deaths or violence. People could have easily watched that instead of our men dying.
Thank you for your service.
Been there, seen it all. If you can’t stomach it, don’t watch. People need their eyes opened. This is what awaits us if we don’t put our foot down.

they want to track who’s watching, how cute of youtube. bstds.
** The video you posted is ISIS propaganda. **
Yes, it was originally uploaded by ISIS after they retrieved the camera from the SOF. It doesn’t change the outcome.
They were setup. They were in a civilian vehicle lightly armed and they had no RPGs. You and the NY rat times can call it what you want, but it was still a setup. 3 men with nothing but 5.56 rifles are not prepared for an encounter with Obama’s ISiS Bros of any sort.
Thank you for the your comment of the stark reality of war and common sense. The NYTimes had to downplay this setup attack to placate the Muslim pigs in our own country.
Yeah, they don’t want to upset any Muslim pigs.
Your confused. I never made a comment on the attack. If you want to blame someone other than ISIS, try the military. It's standard to mover around in local vehicles in such places. They didn't have any drone support to help the guys on the ground. They were asked to outside their normal parameters of work, and weren't provided aerial backup.
I don't why your posting to me other than to thank me for posting a article that has more info on the background that led up to the attack, and to the sacrifice of our men.
Since the new administration took over, Special operations Command has been given much more leeway to conduct operations, even delegating authority all the way down to the small unit level. When you allow the military this much latitude, these unfortunate things can happen. These guys got caught out in the open, probably after making some sort of on the spot decision. What we don’t see are the 100’s of successes SPEC OPS accomplish on a day to day basis...which have enabled us to kill large numbers of terrorists.
You’re welcome.
I get frustrated because these videos won’t just be in some country. They want to harm us where we live and work. The intelligence reports I’ve read and briefings I attended were terrible. If people knew the actual data, there would be open season today.
Too many wishful thinkers and plain ignorant people. The worst case scenario is there’s also too many complicit people.
This wasn’t the soldier killed that had the Florida nitwit politician making all those stupid appearances, was it?
I pray that the men shown at the end of the video can be identified here, however, I am satisfied in knowing there will be justice in the hereafter.
