Look....please don’t tell tales about that part of the world. I know it like the back of my hand. It just so happens that air force rapid response teams (Fighters & C-130s) are on standby 24/7...ready to go at a moments notice. Ditto for rapid deployment ground forces all over the south European area and north Africa locales. No one knew how long the attacks would continue, the aid and backup had to be sent!!! Whoever gave the “Standown Order”, I suspect it was Obama, should be tried for treason. No one will ever know who could have been saved, if any of our folks, because no military forces were dispatched to aid our guys!!! Murder at the hands of USA POTUS!!! The truth shall surface. My friend...you have been drinking too much of the Obamabot Kool-Aid!!!
What tales are you talking about?
I was scrolling casually around and came upon your post.
I am so glad you said it.
Cause I’m thinking, this is the U.S. military...if they knew Americans were in danger....THEY’D FIND A WAY!
To even whisper an assumption that it might not have mattered is not a good idea. Again, our side wants fair and decent. Let the left go on about how it wouldn’t have helped. Our side should keep the even keel by insisting there were ways to assist that never had a chance but for the stand down order.
That's what I thought and it has been that way for atleast a decade.
So somebody needs to clue in the bloviating Colonel Cartwright USMC who was on ABC this morning saying that there was nothing they could do by air since it would have taken atleast 9 hours to fuel up and load ordinances blah blah blah and not get there until the next day.
