Triple or quadruple or whatever number we are on, exactly.

No way would a SEAL reveal themselves for a paper not worth lining the bird cage with. Anyone who thinks they would clearly does not understand the Navy SEALS.

Not sure about that. No one revealed their names. And honestly, I believe this guys story over the WH version.

Does anyone really believe the US Navy SEALS took over 40 minutes on this operation?!?! No friggin way.

The bottom line is the WH didnt tell the truth. And they did a disservice to our great SEALs with such a joke of an operation that didnt happen like the WH says it did.

Say nothing if you are just going to lie about it.

Then realize that by you stating that they woudn't admit to talking about it, that you called them liars. If you can't see that you stating they lied about what they told the book writer, then you can't understand what is a lie and what is not.

So, with that in mind, how many copies of this book do you plan on buying? You sound like the person they have in mind.
Someone who can overlook facts that don't fit their own agenda, and then backtracks when they get caught in their own mistakes.
That's called trolling. You asked for links that proved him wrong - you got them. You asked for us to show where you said they said they lied. We did.

Just admit you're wrong, or just admit that nothing will satisfy you. Either way, who cares? It's just someone who made up something to sell a book to people who don't care to fact check. It's not his first book. He must be doing something right.

U.S. Special Operations Command has asked the troops whether they had been interviewed by the author. All claimed they had not, CNN reported.

I AM talking about the topic of this thread, it is you that doesn't like what I have to say, nothing new there. Liberal play book, hmmmmm, never seen anything of the sort. But speaking of which, I do notice that righties, such as yourself attempt as a matter of course to claim others are deflecting from the topic, trolling or if that does not work throw a few personal attacks at those that dare disagree with your latest wild accusations, so if anyone has a play book I would think that would be You.
The bolded portion, another example of you doing exactly what you accuse others of. Prime example of delfecting and, having nothing to do with the topic, trolling by you.

As for the topic being, in your words, "BS" why do you participate. Other than to spread misinformation and claim that those who disagree with your "latest wild accusations" just has to be discredited. And yes, even after you admit to using the liberal playbook, you seem to say you don't and claim anyone who disagrees with you uses a different playbook.

As for the topic, you have zero evidence that the quote is incorrect. Merely your opinion of what you want it to be.

Come back when you have some actual facts for a change.

Well let me back track. If you think that an order given by a superior officer directing you not to speak about an operation could ever be construed as constituting an unlawful order, either you were never served in the military or you were a complete idiot when it came to the UCMJ.
If ordered not to speak about an illegal order by a superior and you follow that order, you become compllicit. Only an idiot blindly follows what they are told to do. If you did indeed serve (doubtful from your answers) and blindly followed orders you are what we would have termed body fodder, useful only as a shield.

Did anyone claim that Seal Team 6 broke OPSEC because they were given illegal orders?

Default SEALs slam Obama for using them as 'ammunition' in bid to take credit for bin Laden killing during election campaign

Who do these people think they are? Obama had to cut short his golf game to make this gutsy call!

I don't believe your "story," but if true .. I'll support their court marshal and dishonorable discharge. One thing the hate monters can't stand is that Obama has been stronger on defense than "W" Bush who send thousands of our men and women to their deaths without good reason, forethought or remorse.
