Might cut into all the cash we are spending on illegals and welfare types who are buying KFC and their EBT cards.
Well - It’s not as if they were being sent to Chicago...
Can one be awarded danger pay retroactively? Posthumously?
Friggin’ unbelievable
Lord, watch over them.
Whatever happened to all the Iraqi police and military we’d trained in the years before we pulled out? If we couldn’t train them to protect themselves the first time, what makes the powers that be think it will work this time?!
Meanwhile, Lois Lerner remains on the fed payroll.
And.....don’t forget Mooch has to have her vaca’s and of course Liar in Chief has to have his golf
Bring plenty of Body Bags.
Hmmm. $7.50 per day extra to risk your life for some nonsense mission. Sign me up!
Let’s jump into the Wayback Machine and set the dial for 1959 when similar pronouncements about “no combat” were stated for the Special Forces “advisors” sent to Viet Nam. IIRC, 1959 is the year we recognize our first combat loss in that war.
These troops are walking into a death trap. THe Iranians, the Sunnis, every terrorist hooligan has a trophy on their heads.
The Iranians will not allow us back there. They orchestrated our leaving, and Obama fell for the trap.
Now we’re back again, kinda reminds me of Reagan putting in the marines in Lebanon. The Iranians will find someway to kill or capture some so there will be a cry in this country to withdraw completely.
If they are able to capture just one of our soldiers, then the game is over. They will empty out Gitmo and let Obama spin for the remainder of his ridiculous presidency.
I’m waiting for the report that they won’t be allowed to carry weapons WITH ammunition in the country.
We have been told that our Marines at embassies around the world aren’t allowed to have weapons and ammo so what about the ones they say are protecting the embassy in Baghdad? Do they have weapons and ammo? Or are they supposed to do all that protecting by staring at the enemy?
According to Obama, it’s all Nuri al-Maliki’s fault. That’s been Obama’s policy towards ISIS’s onslaught in Iraq — find someone to blame, and go back to playing golf.
But there’s been growing pressure on Obama to ‘’do something.’’ So he’s decided to send 300 soldiers on a mission impossible to train Iraqi forces. But Iraq is in an existential crisis — its army can’t spare a single soldier to sit in a training class listening to lectures.
But that doesn’t bother Obama, or his fawning media supporters. So it’s back to the golf course for Obama, after making a short stop to order his speech writers to prepare suitable remarks to deliver to the parents of our dead soldiers as their sons’ body bags are being removed from planes from Iraq.
This is BS. It doesn’t matter if they are “not” going for combat, they are in a combat zone and that is what used to determine combat pay. We nave the worst president ever, and now we have the worst military leaders who don’t back the troops. Appalling!
The Military deserves hazardous duty pay for taking orders from dumBO.
$7.75 per day because Obama is so into saving the taxpayers money. What a crock.
No surprise...Obama doesn’t pay drones extra and we saw how Seal Team 6 was repaid for getting Osama Bin Laden.
