"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
KABUL, Afghanistan — A NATO helicopter crash in Afghanistan on Saturday killing 31 U.S. special-forces troops, including more than 20 Navy SEALS from the unit that killed Osama bin Laden, and 7 Afghan commandos.
If you mean do I think they were betrayed - of course they were. At what level is the question. Was it a quid pro quo? Don't know. It is a fact that three years into Carter's presidency, our military leadership had become as incompetent as he. Just sayin'
May God Bless our Heroes . I started shaking when I heard about the shoot down . Perhaps the girl in the pic should cut back on the burrito's before the swim meet ; ) > SMIBSID
Blame it on the ROE coming directly from the White House. Come on, it is exactly like shooting fish in a barrel, flying a fat slow rich target down these narrow valleys... Why are they forced to do suicide missions like this? Look deliberate to me!
The reason that they fly the chinooks like they do is that they have the high lift capability. This ability translates into high elevation maneuverability. The UH-1's couldn't handle the elevation.
It looks like she put on a little weight.

None of the 22 SEAL personnel killed in the crash were part of the team that killed bin Laden in a May raid in Pakistan,
ReplyDeleteThe idea is to have a max of casualties, all pointless, then pin the blame
ReplyDeleteon the "war on Terror" supporters. Blame Islamophobia. Inch Allah...
Outboard motor?
