CNN Special Operations reports in direct violation of OPSEC and puts soldier’s lives at risk
Popular Military ^ | March 4, 2016 | Michael Swaney

An investigation by Popular Military has determined that the recent reports about US special operations being conducted in Iraq are in direct violation of OPSEC (Operation Security).

CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr has published multiple articles this week about the specific operations of the U.S. Army’s most elite and secretive unit, 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D), popularly known as “Delta Force”.

Yesterday, Barbara Starr reported “U.S. Special Ops team captures first ISIS operative,” based upon information that was not released through any official channels. Her report even lists the location in Iraq where the US special operators are keeping the prisoner. She stated that US officials “provided details to CNN but asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter.”

This information was released despite the White House Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, stating, “I can’t discuss the details of any missions particularly when it comes to risking operational security” during an official White House press briefing.

The admin had to leak this because they’ve been taking too much heat for their inaction against ISIS.

Probable, but who would bring charges against someone in the DOD? The Dept of Injustice is as corrupt as the man at the top. If they all know there will be no charges (like hildabeast) there is no accountability. Even congress has to go through the FBI and DOJ, don’t they?

That is totally absurd. I’m surprised jeraldo hasn’t moved to CNN. One response at Popular Military was similar to mine years ago suggesting releasing Barbara Starr’s personal info. Why not just send it right to ISIS?

The obama/bidens have already defined their version of “opsec” when they dropped a dime on SEAL Team 6 after the bin Laden whack, and, given the suspicion of many, when they set up Extortion 17. This is pretty much in keeping with obama’s goal for our military.

It is not the first time nor the worst and is not the time nor incident to pursue.

So let’s let the dam continue to leak until we lose one of our sons? I always hope someone in DC or a candidate’s staff is reading our posted headlines. My next thread unless already shared:

Navy SEALs tell top House lawmaker they don’t have enough combat rifles

Exactly. Obama and his czars leak everything. Obama sold SEAL team six out and endangered the lives of all SEAL teams plus their dependents after the Bin Laden Raid. Any Muslim in the Little Creek, VA and Dam Neck AO plus those on the west coast could watch the gates to the bases and figure out which ones were SEAL. Now, this outing of Delta would cost any military type his career and freedom. This damn admin cannot merely shut up or just say we did this without exposing men who take years to train plus endangering their families with all the Muslims as-
h-’s Obama keeps bringing here. Obama is behind it.

Roger that. Look at Obozzo and Seal Team Six. Add the chopper left in Pakistan for the Chinese. This bunch is full of sharia lovers.

I think Hilda’s emails lead to EXTORTION 17...
the timeline is correct.....and the seals wrote home saying they tracked “leaks” from high up in the administration

She has deals with Saudia Arabia which we know loves radical Islamic groups and funds them. We should figure out that ISIS is getting cash from Saudi Arabia. Iran and Syria are pals. We also have a traitor in the White House helping Iran as well as Kerry. Kerry sold me and every Viet Vet down the river in Paris.
