The families of 17 SEAL Team 6 commandos who were killed in an ambush in Afghanistan during a helicopter flight to help Army Rangers pinned down by Taliban gunmen accused the Obama administration of deliberately endangering their loved ones for political ends. . .
One by one, fathers and mothers of the victims of the crash spoke about what they see as gaping holes or inconsistencies in the review of what U.S. Special Operations considers its most deadly incident.
The guys knew they were in danger as soon as the White House announced what team had gotten bin Laden.

His father Billy Vaughn recounted Thursday a phone call from his son following the White House decision to credit the highly secretive military unit for the bin Laden raid.
"He said, 'Mom, there's chatter. My life is in danger. Your life is in danger. Get everything off your social media. Our families are in danger,' " Vaughn recalled.
And they are upset about our ridiculous rules of engagement, which limit the military's ability to fire when in danger.

Military officials told her operating outside of these rules "damages our efforts to win the hearts and minds of our enemies."
"The hearts and minds of our enemy are more valuable to our government than my son's blood," she said. "We have an ideology problem with this war, and we need to address it."
He's trying to appease the world for historic U.S. dominance. They try to call it 'smart diplomacy'. It's really nothing but submission. And that creates a target on the back of all amerikans.

You think they fly around in choppers with huge SEAL TEAM-6 painted on the sides? No, they are in danger every day they are in Afghanistan, simply because that is the nature of war. If someone is killed in action, it is not always the president's fault. If the families was to make a political statement based on speculation, it is cetrainly their right, but it is simply their personal opinion.
Not one single democrat will stand up and be counted on this. Barak Obama will not be taken to account. Liberals and thier media flunkies dont care about the military but they do care about their own power.
I was sick when I first heard what team was involved in the raid. I knew then this would happen. Sadly this is not a partisan issue. but liberals will circle the wagons and protect their own because to them everything is partisan.
Exept it wasnt right wingers making the accusations. It was the family members of the dead seals.
Maybe right wing Seal family members.

You can smile about dead seals if you like.
No, you go ahead and smile about dead Seals. I'm laughing at another loony-tune right wing attempt to smear the president.

I think it is rather serious business.
You think it's Obama's fault. Of course, all evil must have an Obama connection. And all good news is bad for America since Obama is still in office.
