275 troops to protect the embassy, the largest in the world, which if (ever–it wasn’t when I was there) fully staffed would house 5000 people.\u00a0 No support for these 275.\u00a0 Just the small arms they carry.\u00a0 Probably not allowed to walk around with a magazine in the well either.\u00a0 Fire only with an imminent threat and all those other Soldier-killing ridiculous rules of engagement.<\/p>\n
I can hear the pep talk sppech now though hardly an Eisenhower moment on the eve of D-day.\u00a0 “Men, think of yourselves as the 300 Spartans sent to the Hot Gates to hold of the hordes of Xerxes.\u00a0 Of course, you aren’t really 300.\u00a0 We believe in you so little that we don’t even give you 300.\u00a0 Oh, and we are not giving you any heavy weapon support whatsoever, nor will we have air extraction assets available when they finally breech the walls.\u00a0 Do what you can, and we expect nothing short of success.”<\/p>\n
Now B. Hussein is talking about sending in Special Forces (undefined) into Iraq but (telling point here) has ruled out airstrikes.\u00a0By airstrikes, one has to believe this include drone strikes.\u00a0 \u00a0When we sent SF into Afghanistan, airstrikes were what made them successful in driving the Taliban out of cities and subsequently power.\u00a0 Without air power, what else to SF have?\u00a0 Certainly better small unit tactics, but this pits them man to man and removes their force multiplier status by taking away their largest battle space shaper.<\/p>\n
Think about this.\u00a0 Special Operators were able to go into Libya and snatch up that Benghazi prick Khatalla.\u00a0 They were able to enter, plan, prep, execute, and extract all without losing a man, or firing a shot (as reported).\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 No one knew they were there.\u00a0 Now, B. Hussein is telling the world we are considering sending in Special Forces.\u00a0 So much for being anonymous–in the spotlight AND disarmed.<\/p>\n
Perhaps that is by design (again).\u00a0 Special Operators does not have to mean just Green Berets.\u00a0 It also includes Delta, Seals, even Rangers.\u00a0 So, let’s send them in to a foreign land where the enemy is itching to capture them and video their beheading.\u00a0 Let’s televise to the world we are sending them in.\u00a0 Then let’s take away the best chance they have at being successful quickly.\u00a0 This is a culling program by B. Hussein.\u00a0 He intends to thin the herd of the best we have by sending them in without the means to succeed.\u00a0 Those who won’t be killed will leave when their term of service is up.\u00a0 Either way, his goal of weakening the US military is achieved.<\/p>\n
I’m so glad I am out of this military already.\u00a0 It has to suck donning the uniform daily knowing that your commander in chief wakes each day thinking of new ways to send you to your death–hog-tied, ham-strung, hand-cuffed, and hobbled.\u00a0 But to your death all the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
