Absolutely, too many of those asshats are all about "career path enhancement", standards and protocol be damned.
(This isn’t directed at anyone in particular so don’t think Ima targeting anyone)
There has to be first time for everything so Ima going to tell you what I think. Mark this on your calendars.
Bales either had specific information on the whereabouts of Taliban but was unable under SOP to do something about it and took matters into his own hands. He is a highly trained, competent, EXPERIENCED COMBAT SOLDIER.
He was specifically groomed to take out certain Taliban, who, under normal SOP were untouchable.
There is reporting he was unhappy with his assignment to F ghanistan. I’m sure he was unhappy seeing ANOTHER fellow soldier wounded horribly. Just right for the picking.
Any body who knows anything about anything going on over there is gonna lawyer up, take the Presidential defense—aka—I DON’T RECALL, and let the chips fall where they may.
I don’t need “mitigating” circumstances. I DON’T CARE who he killed-—namely—”innocent women and children”.
Take a step back and ask yourself why you post on this website. Don’t like abortion? Don’t like national healthcare? Don’t like the erosion of your religious freedom? Freedom of speech? Don’t like the corruption, the greed, the lies, the the total unending BS? (This is where I really start yelling)
HOW DO YOU THINK SGT BALES FEELS?
