No rules violated that I can tell, then again, I’m not a Moderator. If you think your post is in violation, hit the Abuse button and ask a Moderator to evaluate it for you. That’s the fastest way to get their attention.

I was only trying to allay Scythians concerns about OPSEC.

The pic in post 54 is important to remember. We should always remember what the historical aspect/context of these current actions is really about. We don’t give up. We hunt them down.

FRegards,
SZ

Holy crap....Rush has on a Navy Seal right now and he says this is payback for the Seals actions against the Somali pirates. This is his second call from a Navy officer and these guys sound PISSED off. As well they should be.

"I guess the SEALs haven't paid enough in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I have no words to describe what I feel.
"

From the article, you'll notice that the Navy and Iraqi lawyers are staging a little dog and pony show. "...the detainee was turned over to Iraqi authorities, to whom he made the abuse complaints. He was then returned to American custody."

Even the pretense of prosecuting the SEALs for the war criminal PW's accusation about a bloody lip is wrong. The publicity will come back to bite the Iraqi government and nitpicking lawyers in general.

Between this event and Gen. Casey’s supplication at the altar of “diversity”, the rot is clear.

The key thing for all of us to not be demoralized by the depth of decay we see in this government.

Because if it is going to change, we are going to have to change it, and that won’t happen if we have given up from the all day every day assault on everything we hold dear.

And I hereby publicly rescind my assertion over the years that there would be no civil war 2 in this country.

I believe it is now inevitable.

God help us if we ever have to fight a major, prolonged, knock-down-drag-out war, with our feminized military and our PC leadership.

It was the same corps of JAG weenies who let OBL get away early in the Afghanistan war, when he was spotted by an armed Predator.

They had to kick it around DC for a few hours getting permission, because of the JAG pu$$ies. By the time they finished dithering, OBL was long gone.

Destroying America is obama’s number one priority.

Everything obama does is toward the Destruction of America.

When will people start to believe this?

The Armed Servicesare part of America.

Those were killed in Afganistan.

They lost their lives in Afganistan.

“If I’ve violated some restriction here at FR guys, please let me know and I ask the mods to delete my post.”

You didn’t make them public, you only posted a link. I think the person that posted them (cowboy644)should have thought twice before allowing unrestricted access.... but that’s just me.

I agree about honoring our U. S. Heroes and about the picture in post 54. I suspect it was posted simply to inflame passions (remember Falluja), that is not necessary in our case. I remember Falluja and I remember Somalia, in another time Somalia would have resulted in the occupant of the People’s House being dragged out by the scruff of his neck, he is a cowardly and immoral man. My hope is that when he takes his last breath that he sees these men gathered around him... see, no problem with my passions.

Non-judicial punishment under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. It is akin to a misdemeanor conviction in civil court.

As I posted before, I can’t imagine why anyone would stay in the teams knowing that their chain of command looks for ways to do them in. Frogmen aren’t quitters but there comes a time when going to jail for doing the job is just dumb. When Clinton started cooperating with our enemies and telling them who the intel operators were, many got out ASAP. It isn’t about quitting, it is about prudence.

Statement: "Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist"

Response: With this group, currently in office, one would expect nothing less than the prosecution of American troops for killing, wounding and capturing the enemy.

There are going to be a lot of ticked off former special operators in the general population in the coming years.

Something to factor into the equation.

“he must have a discrete force loyal to him waiting in the wings.”

Diversity nationwide. Every white liberal, most every black, hispanic, and foreign national. They have numbers greaters than whites plus conservative blacks and others combined. We had best be ready.

When the women are starting to say the same thing, it's inevitable and near.
