UNREAL. The Pilots and crew appear to be NG or Reserves. Where the hell was the 160th or a Spec OPS squadron?

"They sympathize with the enemy. They sympathize with the ideology" of the enemy, he said.

That has been going on for a long long time.

This Administration should NOT be ticking off Seals, CIA, DOD, Intelligence Community, or National Security personnell. It ain’t prudent.

[plain talk]

I don’t see it as an inside job meaning the Obama administration. Possible but the more likely and obvious explanation is that Biden leaked the Seals out of incompetence and the Afghans identified them and took them out. Not buying this inside job theory.

"(It should be noted here that "Over Twice as Many U.S. Soldiers Have Died in Afghanistan Under Obama In 3 1/2 Years Than Did Under Bush in 8 Years..")"

DESPITE a very large increase in drone killings.
