ReplyDeleteDid he say, "SECURITY" ?
What security?
Moshtarak has been an odd operation. From the beginning they have announced they were coming, in numerous ways, in hopes that the insurgents would leave the area.
ReplyDeleteI don't know where this event falls. It seems a CBS embedded reporter is spilling the story.
Norm, I have noticed, while reading around about Marjah, that some soldiers do not like the way this has been handled.
Ditto on the CBS reporter.
ReplyDeleteAlso read some of the comments on the msm sites...they are are not happy campers.
please excuse my late responses...been down to Panama City all day...its tough catching up.

I just bit my cigar in half. Is this Mandy a female. What did she do to get her story, maybe a little pillow talk? The SOB who spilled these beans should be strung up by his testicles with battery cables. Mandy she should be kicked out of country.
ReplyDeleteNot only do our military people have to put up with dum-bass ROEs, they have to put up with people who don't give a damn about security and are willing to spead the intelligence to the enemy.
I hope those to get STDs and rot away.
