There are numerous reports from Ramadi, Iraq that US troops have fled from the nearby Habbiniyya Base east of the city.
The Ramadi city center was taken by ISIS today.

Fleeing also implies panic or disorder, which I'm sure doesn't exist here.
>The Ramadi city center was taken by ISIS today.
Bomb and flatten the city center already.
I assume they are just advisers as everyone knows we have no ‘boots on the ground’ in Iraq anymore.
I seem to recall another place where we just had “advisers”, next thing you know, 50,000+ US soliders were dead.
Too bad we don’t have a General Grant or a General Sherman (or a president who would send them) to go over there and lead a real fight against these ISIS lunatics.
Sadly. But the LIVs, Big Media et al, believe whatever Obama says.
“Fleeing, or evacuating?”
How about “advancing in a different direction”?
That was not the US Embassy in Saigon. Watch this excellent documentary.

Also, the images the media uses of US sailors pushing helicopters off their decks...those were South Vietnamese helicopters piloted by fleeing SV soldiers and their families. They pushed them off the decks to make room for more to land.
Our military doesn’t flee the enemy. Our military follows the orders of a traitorous CIC handing Iraq over to savages.
No doubt, Chris Kyle would have much to say about this forced retreat.
I’m a documentary fanatic. I’ll definitely watch. Thanks!
I have a theory: we always hear that the majority of the American public is tired of war, and I believe that is true. But, I believe the reason is the way we have waged war, which has resulted in strung out conflicts with unnecessary casulaties. Starting in Viet Nam, the bureaucrats have set the rules of engagement (i.e., we have to be politically correct), instead of letting the military fight to win. And now, with a community organizer-in-chief who thinks we can talk our way out of every conflict and is terrified of making anyone mad, it's even worse. If we turned our military loose, ISIS would be WASWAS!
Our military conducting total war against this enemy would mop these fools up so fast it would likely be over before we knew it had started.
I’m sure rules of engagement left them no other option, either flee or surrender. (U.S. ground troops are not suppose to actually kill or hurt anyone, to do so will land them in prison, plenty evidence of that)
And to think I spent a year out of my life, fighting their boyfriends out there, only to give the city back....
That has to sting, I know
You filthy Putinist mongrels are more likely than not to put out anti-American news in the form that is most hostile to the country. Makes you feel good when something bad is happening to America and you can make it sound even worse. I think that was his only observation.
