Why don't you ask your husband or whomever you claimed to have served in the military? Things like this DO happen.
I have friend (A Marine) who rescued an Army Ranger, they were both "left behind" after an ambush. My brother has done recon missions, things like this unfortunately do happen. The military DOES NOT intentionally leave soldiers / Marines behind. What are you talking about?
The single most important thing to do is for you to quit making wild accusation.
Like I said,
In recon missions, (maybe in all special missions) they assess risk before every operation and the military has a very rigorous risk assessment process in place, but it’s only an assessment.
One article says that Sgt. Johnson’s unit was caught by surprise in an Isis ambush. Three soldiers also found dead after the ambush, what makes you say that they intentionally leaving him behind.
Soldiers are trained to prepare for both types of ambushes,
Near side and far side. The key in each case is to MOVE MOVE MOVE! Just because one soldier has gone missing, doesn't mean military intentionally leave him behind.
Were you there?
You cannot just sit behind your computer making accusations! Man, some of you people, i have no words!!! Do you EVER take responsibilities of your words? How can you, a person who has never been there, making this bold claim "They intentionally left him behind."
WOW, really?
Yes, really.
Are you trying to sell the idea that Sgt. Johnson was left behind by accident, an oversight?
They were tracking his locator beacon, for crying out loud.
"Pentagon officials say a locator beacon was tracked for several hours, fueling hopes he was alive, and raising the agonizing question of whether he could have been saved if the U.S. military had been able to react faster."
In the hours after President Donald Trump said on an Oct. 17 radio broadcast that he had contacted "virtually everybody" who had lost a family member in military service this year, the White House was hustling to learn from the Pentagon the identities and contact information for those families, according to an internal Defense Department email.
The email exchange, which has not been previously reported, shows that senior White House aides were aware on the day the President made the statement that it was not accurate – but that they should try to make it accurate as soon as possible, given the gathering controversy.
Trump: "I have called, I believe, everybody – but certainly I’ll use the word virtually everybody," Trump said.
Since then, The Associated Press contacted 20 families and found that half had not heard from Trump.
The Pentagon email indicates that 21 military personnel had been killed in action during Trump’s tenure, and an additional 44 had been killed by means other than enemy fire, such as ship collisions that took 17 sailors’ lives in the Pacific this summer.

Kelly was stunned that Wilson listened in on such a private sensitive call? It seems that Wilson being with the family at the time of the call was not planned and her hearing it was happenstance as the recipient put it on speaker phone. If Kelly was truly concerned about people listening in on such calls, why was he doing so at his end in the WH? It would seem his participation was actually planned.

I listened to Gen. Kelly's briefing again, and I also listened to the Congresswoman's speech at the dedication and ribbon cutting. It seems the only thing General Kelly got wrong was that she wasn't bragging about getting the building funded, but she was bragging about her role in getting the naming pushed through, and boy did she brag! It was all about her.
So, let's quit calling General Kelly a "liar." He may have had a small detail wrong, but he didn't have his assessment of this "empty barrel" wrong. She is a grand stander. She is everything General Kelly said.
