“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.

Sometimes one must be on the inside to get the truth to those in the field. This is maybe a time where having someone on the inside is more beneficial. I do not know, but when going up against someone who hates the Military as this zer0 crowd does, I would prefer there be someone inside feeding information to those on the outside. I do not know this is what is taking place though it could be, as well as it could not be. I'll take someone on the inside anytime over someone on the outside. That is just me.
