Wonder whether the guards are still being issued rubber bullets, as they were during the GWBush years?

I wonder if any of the “valuable intelligence “ had to do with CIA Saudi Turkish and other incriminating U.S./ western ties to ISIS?

Destroying the evidence before the Iraqis turn us out of Iraq and invite the Russians to help them clean house ....

If so a dam poor way to lose a soldier...

I don’t want to spend a dime or a drop of American blood to rescue a muslim, but I admit, I don’t know the makeup of the prisoners.

Indeed. One story I read interviewed people he knew in high school described him as a guy with long hair, laid back and always cracking jokes.

He thought he died saving lives. It seems he died saving one set of ISIS head choppers from another set of ISIS head choppers

May he RIP for following bravely orders to his death.

As for those who ordered this raid- may they face scrutiny and exposure
