Who places 20 U.S. Navy SEALS on ONE NON-MILITARY GRADE Chinook helicopter (CH-47 NOT AN MH-47) in a WAR ZONE called Afghanistan?

I will always believe that John Brennan personally ordered the murder of 20 U.S. Navy Seals on 08/06/2011 via "Extortion 17". Lots of Chinook helicopter crash detail LIES by the Obama regime following that "accident".

John Brennan and James Comey BOTH belong in GITMO FOR LIFE.

“ONE NON-MILITARY GRADE Chinook helicopter (CH-47 NOT AN MH-47)”

Putting it in caps does not make it true.

Where did you get the idea that CH-46s are not military grade and do not fly into combat? And who put them on there? Our incompetent high level officers who constructed an entire ROE that was amateur and politically correct.

The ROE was that infantry was sent out on patrols. They were not allowed to use artillery or air support. They were not allowed to use their mortars. And they were only allowed to shoot at people they could see were armed. If they ran into a house, they could not fire up the house.
The answer was another lunacy... a flying clown car packed with SEALS as a react force. SEALS are incredible at their job, but special forces are no substitute for proper infantry. SF types are great in small teams doing missions... but as a platoon sized element, it’s an abuse of them.

The guys on the ground were denied AC-130 fire. And some Afghan gets a nice easy shot with an RPG. Simple as that. It wasn’t some Byzantine Rube Goldberg plot to assassinate the SEAL team.

It was the natural end result of layer upon layer of poor Generals and senior officers putting out tactics that were super-sensitive to killing anyone on the other side. And the last move they made was a complete abuse of SEALS as a substitute for proper supporting arms.

But it wasn’t we send out a unit to get ambushed, then we deny air support, then we send the flying clown car in packed with SOF men. Then someone will shoot it down and they will all be dead, supposedly to cover up something or some such. It’s a stupid theory.
