"Permission to engage denied," Captain Joni Marquez heard over her communications as she piloted her "eye in the sky" gun ship above the old Chinook helicopter carrying SEAL Team 6 and other Special Ops and National Guard soldiers to help American Rangers in the Wardak Province war zone on August 2, 2011. Marquez soon would see her infrared monitor turn from red to blue as she watched the life spill out of one of our doomed warriors, shot down by the enemy. (Video available at link.) She knew the insurgents she just had seen slinking from this American graveyard hurried back to their enemy outpost to give a go ahead launch of their MAN PADS-RPGs- directly into the Chinook.
Circling for 13 minutes over a fire zone, the soldiers trapped in the old, Viet Nam era copter, were given a death sentence by a no fire decision from a commander who obviously was following the then Rules of Engagement (RoE)which hobbled our soldiers and in this case, cost them their lives. Killed that night were 15 American Special Ops, five US Army National Guard, Army Reserve, Afghan Commandos, their interpreter and a US military working dog and the flight crew. As Wikileaks puts it, "This is considered the worst loss of American lives in the Afghanistan campaign." Hard to understand is this edict by Commander in Chief Obama who sent our men into deadly battles yet stopped them from fighting, literally turning them into defenseless pawns for enemy target practice!
As a new Congressional investigation may be in the offing, Captain Marquez is coming forward to recall the horror of that night, a series of images which have led to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms that refuse to go away. "If we would've been allowed to engage that night...

I would grant the request and deal with it after but this POS officer thought only of himself. I don’t pretend to know the whole story but this account is credible with evidence. Furthermore, it seems to me the mission was compromised. I would take career ending discipline or court martial to save my troops. This story makes me sick and is heart wrenching. This is worse in scope than Benghazi. I have no words to describe Obama anymore that won’t get me banned or raise my blood pressure and anger further.
First expose this commander. When he/she starts to talk, we will be on the trail of the truth.
This officer is a “SHE”.
In addition to the total immorality and treachery of ovomit’s ROEs, they also removed as many of our effective fighters as possible who would have also all voted conservative.
In my heart I believe that the killing of Bin Laden or whoever that person was, was specifically done to take the birth certificate out of the mainstream media. Trump was gaining traction on this at the time, and it needed to be stopped.
Yep. Thank you.
true, but i was talking about the pilot
Bingo! We have a winner! It was no accident.
Book marked for later
She should have fired anyway. We are taught from the start not to obey illegal orders. She could have saved some lives and let the result speak for itself. If I had been in that position, the choose between possibly saving American lives or not saving them, I would have fired.

I totally agree with you
I predict it will be another “Help is on the Way” like Dick Cheney said. That help never came. It just got worse. Bush and Cheney, (let alone faggot scum muslime traitor 0bama) will have a hell of a Judgment Day for what they allowed to happen to the military.
Bump
Two events were evidence enough for me that obama set up ST6. One was when he announced that when the winds of change shifted, he’s side with muslims. The second was when he and his ventriloquist’s dummy named Joe publicly turned the spotlight on the SEALs after they killed UBL.
Historical Bttt!
Me too. I also believe someone was ordered by Psy OPS to take out Chris Kyle- find a wack job and mess with him psychologically to go and seek Chris out and kill him. I will never believe it was some guy with PTSD just happen one day to decide to kill Chris and his friend.
Agreed
I was looking for sources of articles I had read before because the issue is close to heart but I got carried away watching youtube videos of snipers and A-10s. sorry.
Anyway, I believe Mattis would like every infantryman to go through police training so as not to shoot a civilian but the changes were made in getting back up authorized faster (air—thus the a-10 views).

All being cremated was part of the cover-up so the replacement Afghanis could not be identified, IMHO.
