Within any other President I’d believe it

“Service experience” “disabled vet” Didn’t say combat vet, didja? I am a combat vet and have holes in my body to prove it. I also spent those 28 years training and leading a couple of generations of combat leaders and developing new technologies, tactics and doctrine.

Nobody does any of us any favors by candy-coating failure. If you are or weren’t professional enough to raise your voice when things went wrong, then you weren’t a leader, you were a cheerleader.

You led no one. If you had, you wouldn't have lumped all SEALs with the ones you allege screwed up somewhere in your heroic combat duties, where you were an eye-witness to multiple historic battles. Oh yeah, and you'd have a more precise way of referring to those battles, so as not to slam all of the rest of our people and mix them up with the ones you have decided are inept.

You're a fraud - a "keyboard commando" as you put it. And it there are holes in your body, it's because you didn't get your ass on the ground fast enough while others were running to protect you. Or it's because you got fragged by your own men for being a sh!tmouth one too many times.

Wow. Need to really scale back on the emotions, Bud. All the wild screed stuff just makes you look odd.

Failure is failure. What happened to the SEALs at Grenada (or for that matter Delta?) . How about Panama? Nobody questions our guy’s bravery but I do question the concepts and doctrine behind the operational employment of the SEALs.

Nah, I got shot dragging a wounded man to cover from the middle of an open field. Saved his life and I almost died from it. Spent 7 months in several hospitals recovering from that.

Now, what have you done?

Between the government and the lamestream media there is simply ZERO credibility. I can hardly bring myself to contemplate the details of such a story in any depth at all. There is just no reason to believe ANYTHING that comes out of Washington these days.

I keep getting the impression the President is trying to get rid of this group. Hmmmm ..??

Do they know something about Obama that he doesn’t ever want made public ..??

And now .. I’m wondering if the group that was killed in Afghanistan was not the group .. or the whole group .. that Obama was looking for ..??

I don’t know what it is .. but something about this doesn’t smell right.

As long as Obama is President, the seal teams should wear the red uniforms from Star Trek.

Dear Sir, I am pleased to report that you have won today's Free Republic thread! (-:

You forgot to mention that you were also coordination air support at the time by blinking your flashlight in morse code, while dodging aligators and crawling through barbed wire under machine gun fire.

Now, what have you done?

Me? I make a mean omelette.

This was bad planning. The execution was ok but what you have is a bunch of gays and women planning this and they “blew” it.
