There has got to redress for this treasonous act against our warriors. This is way beyond stupidity, it is criminal treason against our country. Lock the bastards up. Especially McCrystal and McRaven who are military traitors. It is beyond outrageous. I hope the demons hound them to their graves. The case has the stench of being a setup against the SEALS because the way it took place is so mind-blowing in so many ways.

I couldn’t agree with you more except for a big “But”.

These officers that turned her down were almost certainly following direct orders as were their officers. This “stand down” order allowing “their” troops to kill “our” troops was direct from the “Whitehouse”.

I know historically that lower ranking officers ignored “orders” in heated combat situations and some got away with it. But, “Generals” denying orders doesn’t happen very often. McArthur tried it and Truman fired him.

So, your angst should rightfully be addressed to these folks Commander in Chief NOT some duty officer Major or Colonel back in the Theater operations shack.

Right now, last I checked, we’re still spending tens of millions guarding him.
