Feel free to critique military operations once you have participated in one. Until then, you should keep your cock-holster shut.I did I can curl up with your comfort pet.
Did the operators get what they came for? Yes.
Do they normally release all of the intel they get from these raids? No, and you are an idiot for expecting they would.
Did an American die? Yes. This is less than ideal but it will continue to happen under any administration until we have Jesus as a medic.
Did we lose an aircraft? Yes. I was part of the test group for the Osprey before it became operational. Every member of our team said it should NEVER be used for this type of mission. More than 30 lives were lost developing it and more have been lost since it became operational. Expect that number to continue to rise. There have been about 20 crashes or mishaps that I know of and probably many more that I don't. But once billions of dollars had been spent in development, there was no stopping it. So, in short, an Osprey crashed. What else is new? (In other words, this cannot be blamed on Trump.)
On a side note, it was also reported that the AQAP forces were well-prepared. These guys do not normally maintain a high state of readiness. This would indicate they were tipped off. The media, the Obama administration, and Clinton supporters have tried to sabotage the Trump administration at every turn. Are they above putting American lives at risk to do so? I don't think they are.
(The media sometimes gets intel on operations before they launch and it would not be the first time they had cost an American serviceman their life.)
My money is on one of Obama's douchebags. Originally Posted by goodman0422
