“Typical top brass military politician”
Thank you for expressing my sentiments exactly. It’s not enough to “not deny them aid”. The right answer is to do the right thing and help them, then after you’ve saved them show up first thing in the morning at the White House with your resignation in hand.
If he was unable to help them, he should still resign because he was forced to uphold and support an abhorrent policy.
It is the duty of any honorable man or soldier in situations like this to do the right thing first, follow orders later. This government, and a large portion of our military command do not seem to be populated by honorable men.
The only two men to ‘do the right thing’ first and follow orders later in this story are the two SEALs that died, if I’m to understand the reports correctly.
How any of these guys can work for and execute the orders of this President that sacrifices Americans in favor of just about anyone else is beyond me.
Profiles of Cowardice.
The reports are the four men from the annex went to help the Ambassador or "mission" or "consulate" or whatever the final designation comes to be. Two were killed. That means that two are still alive.
