Tapper: "I don’t mean to disrespect in any way, but it seemed senseless — all of these wonderful people who were killed for an op that went wrong.”
Luttrell: "And my guys — what? They died for nothing?”
Tapper: “No, I’m not saying that.”
Except that’s not what Tapper said.

******

Yes.
Yes, it is.
It doesn't matter what he meant to say.
That's what he said.
Saying 'I don't mean to be disrespectful' doesn't prevent you from being disrespectful.
At the very least he chose his words poorly.
Here's one of life's little lessons: Don't chose your words poorly when you are speaking with a former SEAL about his dead brothers.


And another thing - Has this author or TheDC got some kind of thing going on against The Blaze? I'm not a huge fan of The Blaze but what's the point of this article?

Tapper was trying to get a cheap...cheapshot...the intention of his question was provided by the reaction of the Navy Seal. I usually like Jake Tapper but if it takes staying up past 2:00 AM to explain what you meant you have lost the conversation!!! Senseless killing is what happened at Benghazi!!!

Why would CNN’s Jake Tapper bring a U.S. soldier on his show and blatantly insult him and the 11 SEALS and 8 soldiers who died alongside him in combat in Afghanistan?

Answer: He would. He did.

Senseless means stupid. Tapper is saying that the soldiers are stupid and they lack sense. He’s saying they are senseless brainless idiots.
