Matt Sitton's mother, Cheryl Sitton, said a commander blaming the troops for IED incidents is "shameful."

"That's almost like saying to every mom and dad and wife and husband that it is your child's fault that they are dead if they stepped on an IED," she said. "That is just shameful of them to make a statement like that."

I’m sure its coming from the top and not his unit commander.

The entire article is a must-read. It should be included in any historical accounting of the war. Thanks for posting this sad but important article.

This “President” uses American soldiers as pawns for his domestic political power. His additional goal is the destruction of the American military through demoralization, attrition of men and equipment, and defunding. This will allow his anti-American allies in the world a more free reign.

US military commanders?? NOT. Political lackeys seeking promotion from the Muslim in the WH at the expense of our young men and women is more accurate. It's outrageous and sickeningly shameful that the MSM has literally forgotten about our troops fighting in Afghanistan. All for the sake of saving obozo.

Maybe my tinfoil is on too tight, but this thought came to me recently.

We know of the Soros Administration’s desire to defang our military. Could they be putting our best deliberately in harm’s way?

Any war is terrible and fought by the bravest.

The real reason for this war dragging on, like it does, is using wrong weapons to win.

Lets see what would break enemy’s will to fight, the training in jumping jacks or, intense but sporadic mass bombing of enemy’s population centers.

So every day, for few years, when enemy wakes up, their eyes and ears are alert to sound from the sky.

Bombs are cheaper that American lives.

Lots of emotions around this one. There’s no good answer. We need to fight to win or get out and if we’re going to get out, and it’s to our advantage, then look for a cease-fire. It’s too damn late to worry about looking chicken. Our President has already done that. And somebody voted for him.

Sitton was killed by an improvised explosive device on Sept. 2 in an Afghanistan field. It was the same field he had complained in his letter to U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young that he and his men were forced to constantly walk through for no apparent reason.
