The families of some of the 17 SEAL Team 6 commandos who were k****d in an ambush in Afghanistan during a helicopter flight to help Army Rangers pinned down by Taliban gunmen accused the Obama administration of deliberately endangering their loved ones for political ends.
Now a highly decorated, retired Air Force officer is coming forward, breaking her silence to speak out on what she witnessed in one of the deadliest attacks on Navy SEALs in U.S. history. Her testimony details how the government covered up evidence in the 2011 downing of a Chinook helicopter gunship that k****d a total of 38 military personnel in Afghanistan and how the attack that took so many lives could have been prevented if it were not for the restrictions to the militarys rules of engagement instituted under the Obama administration.
On August 6, 2011, Air Force Capt. Joni Marquez was working along with her crew in the early morning hours before sunrise while aboard an AC-130 gunship when they were summoned to a mission in what she describes as almost like a 9-1-1 type of a situation.
The gunship received orders to fly close-in air support above Afghanistans dangerous Tangi Valley, in Wardak Province. They were to assist troops with the Armys 75th Ranger Regiment who were under heavy fire by eight heavily armed Taliban insurgents. The Rangers had put in a call for assault helicopters to engage the enemy to draw them out of their hiding place in the rocky valley. They believed the insurgents were all k****d after the air weapons team fired on the Taliban fighters. They were wrong.

Bay of pigs act two democrat president both cases it’s a habit.

Whats with the k****d ceap? Can’t spell? Were they kicked or what?
Air Force Capt. Joni Marquez. My hero for the day or until a new one comes along.
I think that is being used to avoid the big brother filters. Soon we have to use terms like T***p, g*n, and Con*******on.
“Kissed”? No, I don’t so. Unless it was the Sicilian Il bacio della morte.
I’m seeing this stupidity more and more these days. Long ago, it was only used for “G*d” for “God” - I never understood the reason they were hesitant to write “God” then. But using “k****d” for “killed”? That’s sheer stupidity.
They will get away with facilitating the killing of some of our top warriors, as if it were nothing, makes me sick to see this antiamerican Muslim pig continuing his attacks on our Christian founded nation.
Komfed...
This was part of the deal to get Bin Laden.
“But using ‘k****d’ for ‘killed’?”
A good chance that within Big Brother algorithms constantly monitoring the internet, the entire word triggers attention from TPTB. Just a guess, though; I don’t know.
Agreed. That self-censoring, sugar-coating crap is pathetic. Imagine in our Pledge of Allegiance, spelling God as G*d as if its a dirty word?
GOPe controlled Congress, particularly the people's House of Representatives, gave everything and more to pacify Obama’s demands. Few in Congress or any other ‘workers’ in government take their oaths of office to heart.
There are some religions that say you shouldn’t use the name “God” so spelling it as “G*d” was a way around that.
The rest of this is silly. (Might be an old auto-censor filter?)
..you left out Carter’s use of Navy copters desert operation...
The real story of Extortion 17 was the utter incompetence of high-level military leaders and their tactics. They insist on using special forces in the place of Infantry. Despite today’s hit movies, there are many situations where standard military formations are better at the task than Special Operation Forces. They sent out a very light infantry Force, and the plan was if they get into trouble send helicopter loads of seals into the fight. The entire helicopter mission would have been completely unnecessary if the attack would have been made with enough infantry power to beat down any encounter from the enemy, and let them use normal supporting arms. So yes Obama’s fingerprints are on this. But it wasn’t a deliberate homicide to wipe out witnesses. It was incompetent fantasy tactics of senior military Commanders, operating under a retard president and his ROE.
Special Forces have been abused in these wars like never before, with this insane desire to try to pretend that they are a substitute for Infantry in company strength.
I’ve been thinking something a little harsher than jail, but then, we’re not Cuba.
