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."

Sgt. Johnson was left behind and it sure wasn't an accident, an oversight.

They knew it at the time.

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.


Trump staffers knew Prez didn't contact families of fallen troops - NY Daily News

So "virtually everybody" means less than half?
Well, I am beginning to not believe anything Trump speaks or tweets. He may be a pathological liar and those people believe what they say to be true.

I also think the dude has dementia, or is in early stages. Just IMO. God Bless America.

Nah, I am saying you were not there, and you have NO right making wild accusations.

Honor is something you don't have if you wanted to make wild accusations like these.

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.

Neither were you.

But Sgt. Johnson was.

And he was left behind.

The military knew this the second they took the head count.

They knew it by his locator beacon.

Me too.
He was there. He was at the dedication and ribbon cutting for the new FBI building. Listen to this again (you apparently didn't listen before):
