An open letter from the mother of the first Navy Seal killed in Iraq to General Martin Dempsey
Fox News ^ | April 19, 2015 | Debbie Lee

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey responded to reports that Ramadi, Iraq is on the verge of an Islamic State today by describing Ramadi as “not symbolic in any way.” In an open letter, Debbie Lee, whose son Marc was the first Navy SEAL casualty in Ramadi, responded to his remarks today.

I am shaking and tears are flowing down my cheeks as I watch the news and listen to the insensitive, pain inflicting comments made by you in regards to the fall of Ramadi.

“The city itself is not symbolic in any way” oh really are you willing to meet with me and with the families who have lost a son, daughter, husband, wife, father, mother, aunt, uncle, grandson, or teammate?

My son Marc Lee was the first Navy SEAL who sacrificed his life in Ramadi Iraq Aug 2, 2006. His blood is still in that soil and forever will be. Remember that was when so many of our loved ones were taken from us. You said that “it’s not been declared part of the caliphate on one hand or central to the future of Iraq.” My son and many others gave their future in Ramadi. Ramadi mattered to them. Many military analysts say that as goes Ramadi so goes Iraq.

There’s only one way out for you now, Dempsey. Remember Admiral Boorda? Compared to you, he had courage.

“Dempsey is a pos just like his cic.”

Glad someone finally found the proper term to describe Dempsey. When he was saying all this stuff ( sitting. alongside Mr. AAAAA, our new secretary of defense) Speaking of Ashton, either he’s “slow,” or he has to AAAA while he’s trying to figure out which lie to tell. My dog makes a better appearance than these two Marxist Morons.

That seems to be the standard M.O. by worthless flacks like Dempsey. They justify the administration’s failure by dismissing these losses as “strategically unimportant.”

Thank God these cretins weren’t in positions of power in WWII.

Mark Levin did a “number” on Dempsey for this, reading Debbie’s letter. If you are not listening to his free podcasts, you are mostly missing the REAL news.

Generals to day are just politicians in a costume, out for themselves...

Anyone who had any balls has been squeezed out or is in the process of being squeezed out. Career military have been given pink slips without cause and ass kissers and ball lickers get promoted.

Dempsey is a classic example...

The intel community and doj has the same issue ....look at holder, comey, meathead brennan.... talk about stupid and useless.. clapper ditto...
political puppets one and all... no integrity, no honor, no love of country... base,crass,selfish and hurting the country...

God bless Debbie Lee.

Mullen needs to beg her forgiveness on his knees.

Just watching Outnumbered on FNC. The four women and their guest male, Charles Payne are ripping Dempsey a new a$$hole and deservedly so!
