[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile thousands of service members and civilians have been killed from Iraq to Afghanistan and Yemen, but no one demands an investigation of their deaths, even when they were the result of 'friendly fire.'

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.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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.  [/quote]
