But if politicians can lie why not soldiers in need?
Really?
But, it’s compleeeeetley fine for the White Hut to inform the world Osama was a SEAL Team 6 Op and I’m absolutely certain they released their flight info so they could be shot down.
If there was a failure in the chain of command, including at the very top, a member of the military has a duty to make that known. Did we not learn that from the My Lai incident? I strongly suspect that the UBL mission was concluded by the skill of the warriors in spite of a case of risk aversion hives by the CinC.
To quote LT William Calley, “If you are asking why I did not stand up to them when I was given the orders, I will have to say that I was a 2nd Lieutenant getting orders from my commander and I followed them—foolishly, I guess.”
How different could the My Lai outcome been if someone had displayed the courage to stand up and speak out?
This administration’s demonstrated aversion to risk is probably why the beheaded ISIS hostages were not rescued.
No need to maintain silence in the face of political corruption.
On the other hand, to reveal ‘trade secrets’ may endanger the lives of those who come after.
If you want to talk, keep it political.
“The commander of US Navy SEALs has issued a stinging rebuke to troops who have broken the elite force’s hallowed tradition of secrecy and humility”
Or what the CIC will kill off the rest of them?
“if people come to conclude that the government considers itself no longer subject to laws , under the U.S. Constitution , they may consider that neither are they “
“... reveal ‘trade secrets’ ...”
Still waiting to see those trade secrets .... in fact, I’m still waiting to see any trade secrets that Snowden or the SEALS have divulged that haven’t been previously leaked by His Arrogance and his Gay band of Communists, the New York Times and the corrupt media or the other high ranking pukes retiring from cabinet posts or positions writing their tell all books. If they have divulged trade secrets, let’s detail them which shouldn’t be a problem since they have been divulged. From what I’ve seen 99.9% of what is claimed to be classified is pure crap and just used to cover incompetence and wrong doing.
You may be rigtht, and anything that’s divulged at this point is just obsolete crap.
Myself, I have no way of knowing.
I just hope that what we’re seeing in the movies - which seem very ‘realistic’ to me - isn’t up-to-date stuff.
Extortion 17 Black Box:
Washed away in a flood. From a MOUNTAINSIDE. In AFGHANISTAN.
Uh-huh.....
Obama spills secrets to the enemy on a daily basis.
Spilling secrets is Obama's prerogative.
They are to be guarded until he needs to release them to bump up his numbers.
Except all of us who do.
