The night of Sept. 1, 2009, Echo Platoon of Navy SEAL Team 10 headed out into the Fallujah night. Their goal: concluding a five-year search for the al Qaeda killer who had been responsible for the shocking 2004 murders of four American military contractors — one of them an ex-SEAL — whose bodies were then burned, dragged through the streets and hanged from a bridge.

Sukbut naval officers. Anything to get promoted. Screw your own men. REMFs. There aren’t words vile enough to describe these scum. Every branch has ‘em hiding on staff posts.

That would be military attorneys and the idiotic (and cowardly) politically-correct commanders who listen to them.

It’s interesting that our little friend, Little Lindsey Graham is a military (reserve) attorney. Military attorneys are also those folks who come up with the Obama administration’s “rules of engagement” that have resulted in the unnecessary deaths of of many of our troops.

so let me get this straight, doughnut munchers in this country can gun down UNARMED American Citizens and their pets simply so they can go home safe that night, and yet a known TERRORIST captured in a WAR ZONE gets a split lip(most likely self inflicted), and the whole Team gets charged with ABUSE???

more words will only get me in trouble...

This is the TV version of NCIS in action and it threatens to destroy our military. Commanders used to stand strong against investigator and prosecutor zealots, but alas, no more. This travesty should have never gotten beyond the Convening Authority’s desk, but went all the way to Court Martial.

Unfortunately, this story is not unique and the trend continues. The witch hunts are in full force and as the war winds down, the focus will turn on leaders who say mean things to females.

Publicity takes down spec ops ability to get the job done .

Everybody has a clearance, not everyone has a need to know.

“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.....William Tecumseh Sherman”

Shoot, Shovel and Shut Up !

My opinion.

What every one serving should realize is that they are considered cannon fodder by the higher ups and they will gladly offer them up to either protect their career or to advance some political agenda. Watch the movie Breaker Morant for a good example.

I wonder why we still do. It’s amazing, the “one bad apple’ story is true. We have Obama, the bad apple, and the whole barrel stinks.

Exactly.

Dear Navy SEALS: Just kill the next one. We trust you.
