This article doesn’t go into the imam cursing the bodies of our guys, or how the DOD covered that up by giving the families a runaround as they tried to get video of the memorial service. There’s a LOT more to the story of what these families have been through, and why they suspect that the military is not operating in good faith towards them. That stuff all needs to be sorted out.
The question that continuously comes up with this regime is this: Were the deadly results deliberate, or were the people just so pathetically incompetent that they are just as dangerous as if they were enemy combatants? So which is it, DOD? Were these deaths deliberate, or are you just so incompetent that you could just as well be enemy combatants?
Perhaps that chopper was taken down from the INSIDE, not by external means.
You have the right basic question. I’ve said from the gitgo that MAJOR incompetence was involved. There is no level of sabotage that could have done the damage by itself. Even a bomber in a mess hall couldn’t have racked up such a total. The stalling smells more of butt-covering than security concerns or anything else legitimate. Even the guys directly involved, and killed, had to know they were clusterflocking.
