Shouldn’t they give him an extra medal for that?

[jazusamo]

Absolutely!

[ridesthemiles]

That may help us all sooner rather than later.

When Obama tries to declare Martial Law, these members of the military won’t know how to respond against American citizens.

[Ann Archy]

WHY does the CIA have a voice in this MILITARY matter????

[BuffaloJack]

All enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.
Seems like the army brass and the administration are now in the DOMESTIC enemy class.

[windcliff]

I’m still waiting for the Bergdahl report.

[hlmencken3]

Other FReepers would know about CIA - military interaction more than I do, but in this particular case, I think the Major applied for a CIA job and was investigated for that reason.

[lastchance]

Make a turn to your far left and you will find it.

[originalbuckeye]

You specifically forgot trannys.

[5th MEB]

Fire them all.

“...for that he’s booted out of the Green Berets?
Too tough on the Imam in Chief’s brethren.
After all, the IED makers are not Islamic.
Should have been bumped up go Lt. Colonel.

[marron]

None of this is hard to understand if you get it through your head that O is a communist, and Muslim Brotherhood.

We are under judgement. Its not going to get better until we understand that.

[skinkinthegrass]

I personally think Obama *IS* an "enemy from
abroad." He is certainly not an American.(IMHO)..He and ValJar et.al. should be shot..
as agents of the Islamic Terrorist.

[DesertRhino]

This says something about the CIA. They heard that an IED maker was killed, and decided that the soldier who did it doesn’t share their values.
Speaks volumes.

The CIA may have been funding, feeding, or arming that enemy, like they did ISIS through Benghazi. Maybe that’s why they were offended.

[JimRed]

Complex ROEs leave combat in the hands of RE bureaucrats who are hampering the effort with Political Correctness...

Ahh, yes- the REMFs who screw everything up with no consequences to themselves.

[hlmencken3]

The CIA hasn’t deserved its reputation, probably since the ‘70s. Waste of money.

[marron]

A group of House lawmakers is moving to strip the armed services’ civilian leaders of the power to revoke combat valor awards in response to Army Secretary John McHugh unilaterally canceling the Silver Star, one of the military’s highest honors, for a former Green Beret officer.

How about removing McHugh from his post.

[JimRed]

Seems like the army brass and the administration are now in the DOMESTIC enemy class.

Along with nearly half of congress, a bunch of judges and justices and the POTUS.

[jazusamo]

Bump

[SampleMan]

I got into a hell of a roe with JAG officer at a Naval conference, when I called him out on the ROE being total dog crap designed to scapegoat the on-scene commanding officers and shield the flag officers.
