So we just shrug our shoulders when soldiers are killed by our own people because it is a "common fact of war" but Americans being killed by the enemy is treated like a rare event? I think you got it backwards.

Bhenghazi was not "friendly fire", the defenders were abandoned to be overrun and killed, and followed by lies and a coverup.

Bergdahl is a deserter hailed as a hero who seved with "honor and distinction" by WH Chief Liar Susan Rice.

The Afghans had their first "free election" in 2005. We should have been out in 2006.
