[[Since when did SEALs not protect their own?]]
Since they were given orders by liberal commanders to destroy Eddie for political reasons
Maybe.
Not sure if they were liberal or it was political.
I do know it was a witch hunt but it is one that has become familiar. Once the bureaucratic machine has you in their sights for what ever reason they must find some way to hang you even if, or perhaps especially if, you are innocent of what they are charging you with.
They will never admit they made a mistake. Even if you are cleared they will find some way to denigrate you.
Law enforcement is awful when it comes to this but any government bureaucracy is filled with people who are both petty and evil by nature. And they can make your life miserable once they feel you are not giving them the proper worship due a "public servant".
Try crossing the what is laughingly called "child protective services" if you want to see what a totally out of control government bureaucracy looks like.
The military officer corps (all branches) needs to gutted to rid us of Clinton/obama promoted types.
