Why not?
Neocons spilled blood & Treasure in Iraq.
And in Afghanistan.
And in Vietnam.
Why not in Ukraine?

This is already known information. They are the inspectors assigned to account for the equipment and supplies sent to Ukraine.

"U.S. military inspectors in Ukraine to keep further track of weapons and equipment". Oct. 31, 2022. Courtney Kube and Phil McCausland. NBC. link.

"The inspectors appear to be among the first U.S. military members to officially enter Ukraine since Russia invaded. Their work comes to light as concerns rise about the possibility of U.S. weapons arriving on the black market."
"Ten Myths about US Aid to Ukraine ". October 20, 2022. Luke Coffey. Hudson Institute. Link.

"Myth 1: There is not enough oversight of US aid to Ukraine."

"Reality: There has likely never been more accountability or transparency measures in place for US foreign assistance than what is available for Ukraine aid. Take the biggest (and most controversial) supplemental from last May, which allocated $40.1 billion. This bill was 699 lines long. Of these, 110 lines dealt with accountability, transparency, and reporting requirements. Therefore, 16 percent of the bill's text was dedicated to oversight."

All of Congress's legislated appropriations have extensive accounting requirements. Someone has to be on the ground in Ukraine processing the delivered equipment. A GAO desk jockey from Washington DC is not going to be in Kyiv for this. No James Bond, more like a militarized FedEx and truck stop.

DC wants ukes to straight up go on the offensive in a sheer suicidal attack. Why? Ask yourself why.

It sounds like the pentagon leaks is an effort to prevent that. And I think his theory is probably correct as far as your question goes, too. Hard to walk away and say nothing if this is true.

23. You are talking about MDTs, Military Delivery Teams, used in Vietnam and Cambodia by the U.S. Helped make sure that aid got to those it was intended for.

Glad to see that you have done some research on the subject for us.

CIA Black Ops are not Spec Ops because they're not active duty soldiers, although they are usually former Spec Ops.

I would strongly suspect their roles are mainly training, as without language skills they would be nearly useless in the field.

Means nothing.

Everybody (of note) sends their Snake-Eaters to every brushfire that pops up. It helps them keep their hand in.

I believe this article was originally published in “DUH!” Magazine.

Any and all documents marked “Top Secret” are low level documents. Almost any officer will have access to them with only the minimal security clearance needed to become an officer in the military.

Real secret documents are marked with Code Word stamp or SAP stamps, etc. These so-called documents are fakes by the nature and appearance; the media brouhaha is just part of the usual ratings bait for the public.

Senile Biden hasn't been proficient in anything for several years now.
