You're exactly right, he should never have charged the Haditha Marines, in my view.
But then there's this from the article and it's mind blowing:
Then there’s Second Lieutenant Spencer Rapone, a West Point graduate, a holder of the Combat Infantry Badge, a platoon leader in the 10th Mountain Division, who is apparently an ardent communist and supporter of every Marxist-Leninist maniac to have walked the earth in the last 100 years. Pictures of Rapone wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt under his West Point dress uniform and a picture of Rapone holding his cap, with the inscription inside, reading, ‘Communism will Win!’ went viral in September, 2017. Rapone reportedly called Secretary of Defense James Mattis the most “evil, vile f***” in the Trump administration.
The PAO office at Fort Drum has informed US Defense Watch that Rapone is currently on active duty at Fort Drum, apparently still under investigation by the Army and by West Point, which allowed him to attend the academy, when the cadre knew of his political beliefs.
Rapone has been under investigation since September. How long does it take for a Second Lieutenant to be thrown out of the Army?
Pathetic!
However,
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”Generally speaking, an “overnight success” is years in the making and we’re just getting started with MAGA.

You obviously don’t read US Defense Watch do you?
Right on the mark. Posting the text below from verse 9 thru 12 NKJV for those who don't have a Bible handy:
Israel’s Irresponsible Leaders9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour, all you beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind, they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yes, they are greedy dogs which never have enough. And they are shepherds who cannot understand; they all look to their own way, every one for his own gain, from his own territory.
12 “Come,” one says, “I will bring wine, and we will fill ourselves with intoxicating drink; tomorrow will be as today, and much more abundant.”
You really need to bring yourself into the 20th century. Its been over for almost 20 years.
I think the military services have changed just a little bit from the times you describe. At least I hope it has.
It's just one guy's blog.
That is my fervent prayer and supposition about this matter. So much hinges on the next election and whether we get or keep a majority in the Congress.

Maybe YOU should read a little bit about history and/or understanding what is written in the present.
I was merely pointing out that a goodly reason for the downfall of the Roman Empire was due to ‘outsourcing their Military’.
I wasn’t condoning or agreeing with how the US Navy perceived to handle shipboard life with certain people who didn’t want to ‘live’ alongside certain people while also realizing there are just some jobs that some people really didn’t want to do.
The Philipinos fit the bill, they needed the ‘work’ and got rewarded for it.
I was merely pointing it out.
Newbies!!! can’t live with em, can’t live without em. <: <: <:
Pax,
Dominic go frisk em.
Lighten up Francis!!
Twinkle Toes Mattis rarely misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
He’s from my town. He comes back on occasion and visits the donut shop. The donuts he gets are super sugary.
What is hiring mercy? We are not outsourcing our Army. If some “dreamer” wants to join the army, I’m cool with that.
And I know enough history to know that ya’ll are pining for the days where you had the Filipino stewards to make you feel like you weren’t the bottom the ladder.
I wasn’t an officer that had ‘others’ wait on me etc.
I shined my own shoes and ‘turned’ down my own bunk.
I still think you should brush up on your reading comprehension, you are still not understanding what I am saying.
Maybe if I type slower it will give you a chance to keep up.
Hiring mercy? I never said WE are outsourcing our Army, I said outsourcing an army is what contributed to the downfall of the Roman Empire.
If OUR military continues to ‘fill up’ with ‘do funnys’, cross dressers, illegals, criminals and the virile young men stay home not wanting to be part of the great experiment, you can only imagine what is going to happen.
You should try being the boss. It’s fun.
Been there, done that.
Yes. That’s all it is.
If it wasn’t fun, you weren’t doing it right.
Tell what’s left of ISIS that Mattis is a sleeping dog.
A on ISIS, F on PC stuff.
