Any death is tragic and horrible, but this was a service member rather than a diplomatic security or CIA officer who was killed. When you take the military oath, you take a different level of risk.

I agree. I have a son in the Army. While I weep for this parent, and any parent who loses a child during a military operation, it is one of the risks. Service members also die during training missions. It is simply a risk of the job. My son knows this, as do we, his parents. It is a tough reality, and difficult. But, our son knew the risks when he chose this as his job and so did we.
I don't think the "timing" of this mission has anything to do with any EO Trump issued. It has everything to do with having darkness. No full moon.
The military evaluates every mission after the fact. Training missions and actual missions. Perhaps they need to share their evaluation with this grieving father.

It's good you think your son'.s life is expendable and not worthy of a basic investigation to determine a screw up

If that is what you read from my post, you need to take a course in reading comprehension.

Every person working in Libya after an overthrow knew the risks.

And, they were supposed to have security. But didn't. And, those brave men who went to help believed more help was on the way. It wasn't.

PP here.
One more thing...... to compare this military mission to what happened in Benghazi is just so wrong. There is no comparison. Two totally different things.

Good luck "correcting" Military Special Operations.

Maybe the Military experts here should join and show them how it's done.

It wasn't the team. The Op was bad and should not have been green lighted.

And you know this from...?

Right, you irrational thing.

The controversy was manufactured in Benghazi.

Here, the CIC has such ADHD type issues that he couldn't be arsed to be in the situation room without his unsecured phone.

I feel sorry for your son. All your kids.

If this is true, then I would like to hear from the military supporters of this president

[jsteele]

NBC is reporting that no serious intelligence was found during the raid. If true, that means the Administration lied. That should be worth at least half a dozen Congressional investigations.

Jeff, Spicer doubled down on the lie during his presser today. Deplorable.

What, the 10 year old videos on making bombs which were already on the internet? That piece of big secret intel that we gathered?

Uggggg....

What about all that wasted money because of "Bengazhi!" ?

I think this is at least worthy of a basic investigation. Unless the republicans and/or military will find they were at fault.

Maybe someone was tweeting instead of paying attention, and perhaps did not have the knowledge or critical thinking ability to work through and question the plans. Then there will be no investigation.

no investigation = they already know they are guilty.
