[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]

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

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.[/quote]
