The Commander-in-Chief should be fired.
I’m stunned .... one of the first times that there hasn’t been a coverup .... but then again, it was the real military and not flagpole generals or State Dept. wienies.
Having Marines guard your post
Not having generals in charge of base defense
guarded by Tongan troops.
Why am I thinking there’s a story here about the Rules of Engagement?
Considering the ROE in place in Afghanistan I’m surprised the Generals were able to limit the damage.
“In the final analysis, every Marine is a rifleman and every Marine commander must properly position his command and his Marines to both successfully accomplish the mission and defend itself in any clime and place,”
Too bad they don’t give them any bullets.
And so the purge continues...
So, How many Generals have been let go by Dear Leader? Hmm
Very interesting, regardless of the excuse.
Amos’s suitability as CMC is suspect. Being appointed to the position by a Communist is reason enough to have doubts. His total rollover on queers in the Corps seals the deal.
Apparently these guys were set up by obama cutting their personnel back to the bone
Amos should fire himself , he’s worthless
I miss Jim Conway . Not there was a real Marine !
I don’t mind this crop of wussified Generals being held to the fire. BUT, if these same Generals would have aggressively ran security patrols outside the perimeter, had they banned any moslems from being inside the wire, had they done the things that would have protected them,,, they would have been fired.
But never forget, these modern Generals found time to indoctrinate troops in the field on how to accept homos. They found time to make sure latrines didn’t face mecca. They found out who were the Marines pissing on dead Taliban. They have time for investigating Marines who protect their perimeter.
You shouldn’t be stunned. There is still a coverup going on here. The commandant picked out a couple of scape goats. The air component commander is responsible for providing up aircraft and aircrew to support ground units. Here he is being relieved of command for an attack on a base where he had no say in the defensive posture or who was defending the base.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Good, now that these two aren’t restricted from speaking under nondisclosure agreements they can talk all they want to Daryl Issa or any other GOP Congressman who will listen. The Camp Bastion story was virtually ignored by the media. SIX Harrier jets were destroyed. Unbelievable we couldn’t stop that many from getting hit.
“The forced retirement of Maj. Gen. Charles M. Gurganus and Maj. Gen. Gregg A. Sturdevant comes more than a year after the attack that killed two Marines, Sgt. Bradley Atwell and Lt. Col. Christopher Raible. The attackers also wounded eight and destroyed six Harrier jets during the assault on Sept. 14-15, 2012.”
Incompetence cost the lives of Americans and there should be consequences, Having said that I will repeat my comment on an earlier post : And on Benghazi we hear......crickets.
The entire JCS should have resigned by now.
Fired for breathing while hetero...
