Gotta start somewhere!
that’s exactly what I was going to say
I don’t believe I have seen such a non story all afternoon.
They were/are superbly trained.
Sounds like fake news.
I’ll bet they were more prepared for combat than Ambassador Chris Stevens or information officer Sean Smith was, but the media was never concerned about Obama abandoning them now were they..
So now we know that that wacko lady from Florida helped to craft the legislation that set up the mission in Niger, that Barack Obama created specific parameters for that mission that hamstrung it and made the soldiers that far more vulnerable to what eventually did happen and led to the deaths..who knows what more will be revealed and that is probably going to make Democrat operatives who got this ridiculous phone call story going look even more stupid.
Oil, Soros, Obama, Hillary, Moslems, France.
From a back-of-magazine challenge I DREW CHIPPY, thereby passing the Q Course, to my surprise.
Look into it, it’s a new deal they’re running.
My buddy got a Ranger Tab out of a box of Cracker Jacks.
If you have no combat experience, the only way to get it is in combat. Stupid article.
Oh, and I forgot one.....
Saudi Arabia
Sgt La David Johnson was a wheeled vehicle mechanic.
RAW CHIPPY..! Or the Pirate..!
Send it in and our judges will tell you if YOU have what it takes to receive a PASS on the grueling Q COURSE..!!
The problem with combat is that the other side gets to do whatever they can do.
In this case, they hit you when you think you’re safe.
I’m not a big fan of running patrols in Toyota pickups.
Someone wrote that Obama had restricted the equipment that could be used in Niger.
If that’s the case, than old Obamabozo owns this one.
Diana ought to stick to covering high school proms, or something.
She has not the foggiest idea how the world works.
Drones not Troops next time? What/Where was the Recon or Surveillance?
Condolences to the lost soldiers families. This was not a textbook nor routine mission.. none are these days.
Are resources stretched too thin?
Or are our troops asked to do too much in too many places?
Is the intel bad?
Are regional commanders in over their heads?
Yeah, that’s how it works.. yeah that’s the ticket..
And frankly many awards come from doing amazingly dumb stuff.
True, and an ambush always starts with an advantage for the attackers. Even experienced soldiers who have superior weapons and air support can have a terrible time in an ambush by less experienced and less well armed opponents.
