career before honor... career before honor...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.
