Let me pose this question... What military person, what ever rank, would do this? Would follow an order such as this? with all the stories about court martial for seemingly less, why would any sane service man give into an order such as this??????? i think it irresponsible of you, and the others who post this shit. If obama downed a drone and gave it to an enemy, then he did this with miltary consent. Which creates a whole nother picture.
Get the facts... somebody knows what happened, hammer for an answer. but simple saying obama gave away our most top secret weapon again, is irresponsible.
What if it went down for any number of reasons and the self destruct malfunctioned?? what if it was as simple as that, and our military is shamed for what your thread boasts?? i dont know... a lot of you here at free republic are drunk on self importance, another large group think they are the smartest guys in the room. posting these assumptions make you look slightly half cocked....
Why are you so upset about this post? You're knocking the author in the teeth, but I notice you didn't come up with a plausible counter theory yourself.
I don't know what the answer to your question is, but all the same, our drone is sitting on the ground in Iran, intact, and our military didn't activate a self-destruct mechanism, nor did they get in there and destroy it. Why? Isn't that our military's job in cases like this?
Do you have a plausible answer for that? No? Why not?
The military is under Obama's command. Since he's been in command, there have been several incidents involving our military that are inexplicable under ordinary circumstances. I think this writer's thoughts are as plausible as anything else I've read.
“...another large group think they are the smartest guys in the room...”
I know I am... :)
If you are a warrant officer and a two star general comes up to your console and suggests you take a walk, you take a walk.
Well said and good to run across a post from you.
