A decorated retired Air Force officer who witnessed one of the most deadly attacks on Navy SEALs in U.S. history is breaking her silence, saying the government covered up evidence detailing that the 2011 downing of a Chinook helicopter gunship that killed 38 fighters in Afghanistan could have been prevented had it not been for restrictions to the military's rules of engagement that were changed under the Obama administration.

Amen. It’s no mystery in the SOF community as to what happened.
RLTW
Looks like a prior Staff Sergeant.
Extortion 17 was the agreed upon payback for killing whoever was the Bin Laden imposter in Pakistan, and its downing was sanctioned by Obama.
F’ing traitor.
Obama’s rules of engagement were designed to advance the cause of our enemies. Bo and the filth he ordered are covered in the blood of our heroes, our fellow Americans, our brothers and sisters. This Is one example. There are many others that are unreported. The administration of hate and change exercised by our African Muslim minister of hate and change is over. Will Bo escape like Idi Amin?
Please do away with those ROE’s which are only put in place to satisfy the media. If you want to win a war you have to kill the enemy before he kills you.
Will Bo escape like Idi Amin?
Earthly appearance might indicate an escape, but if truly guilty, there is no escape, either here or there, and there one will wish one was here, because justice here is far more tolerable than justice in the hereafter. The requirement for us is to forgive, vengeance is the Lord’s.
McCrystal?????....the Aug. 6, 2011, shootdown .....His retirement ceremony was held on July 23, 2010.
The guys on late night early am syndicated radio show “Red Eye” did a pretty good job of covering this on their 4/20/17 midnight to 5am show. They took a call about ROE from a vet and his experience during GWB’s time in office. ROE has always been a problem particularly when the so called “progs” are running the show.
“E17 was a fluke. Plain and simple.......”
Fluke 2
2. an accident or chance happening.
Must just have been a poor choice of words on your part.
This was no “accident” or “chance happening”.
This was an AC-130 gunship!! They were PREVENTED from doing their job. It is a 100% certainty that the AC-130 crew could have prevented this tragedy.

They were there as part of “close air support” for an offensive operation of ours. Not out looking for 8 bad guys.
You call it what you want. I’ll call it a fluke.
Attack helicopters were deployed to strike the eight fighters.
Here are FR articles from years ago:

There was another article, which I can’t find now, that told of the mother of one of these SEALs receiving an e-mail from her son telling her to delete all correspondence with him. That they have a bullseye painted on their (SEAL Team 6) backs. Shortly after this, their helicopter went down.
This mission was a setup by the 0bamaites as payback to the Navy SEALs that took out Bin Laden (or his body double). I’ve always contended that the SEALs have a score to settle with one muslim kenyan usurper.
If you’re a bendover bathhouse mulatto towel boy jihadi traitor....
THOSE ARE THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT YOU CHOOSE...
My question is why do the generals put up with this treason...???
Allegedly fearful of civilian casualties.... THEN DONT GO TO WAR
THE 2 LEFT TO LIVE KILLED 38 OF OURS INCLUDING 17 STS...
They rallied the village and the inhabitants tried to kill our troops..
So why the concern for “collateral damage”
DIDNT WE LEARN THAT YOU DONT WIN WARS WITH HEARTS AND MINDS...
YOU WIN WHEN YOU HAVE KILLED ALL RESISTANCE...AND THE WILL TO FIGHT...
Obama despised the military and they despised him... a TRAITOR
He did more for jihad than bin laden ever did...
He aided and abetted the enemy (al queda and isis) and that is TREASON
HE SUPPORTED THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD ... and that is TREASON...
Bring this pos to JUSTICE
I would not be a good soldier; I would have refused to let other soldiers die because of a ridiculous order in a hellish place like that...put me in jail etc, don’t care-I would have “engaged”.
McRaven yes, McCrystal had retired by 8/6/11, I believe. General Mattis gave General Colt very tight instructions when it came to investigating the crash. Mattis could fill in so many holes. Who were those 7 Aghan commandoes who were switched out last minute? What happened during those lost minutes of air time before the helo crashed? Why were several bodies cremated without the families’ permission when one body was still in tact with limited injury? So many more questions remain unanswered. The families are still fighting. They have gone to DC recently trying to get another investigation into the shoot down. You can follow “Extortion 17 - Demand Answers” on fb. That page has been committed to finding answers for several years. I know one of the men onboard E17 was a Freeper. His ID hasn’t been shared. Here’s the link to the fb page I mentioned: https://www.facebook.com/Extortion17DemandaCongressionalHearing/
McCrystal is also a hard core gun-grabber.
It was pretty obvious even on the day of, that Obama had them set up to eliminate witnesses who could testify that the infamous OBL raid, and the even more notorious “Islamic sea burial” (AKA evidence disposal) were frauds.
