Soldiers who use their veteran status for political reasons are disgusting.

Well... tbh... I sure as hell would if I were running for office. If it were me vs. Romney, I'd be throwing commercials about my service up his Vietnam era Frenchified religious vacationing ass.

Especially seeing how he was a Veitnam-era counter protestor protesting in favor of the draft that he sought deferments from then went to France on a "mission" trip. A country that can't stand religion in power positions ever since their revolution and wasn't and isn't about to change that mindset.

Then what are all these people doing around blowing themselves up, attacking civilians, and using terrorism?

Because Seal teams are not about "credit". They are about getting the job done. Hes using his association to highlight the abuse of this administration in relasing information for political ends. He knows how they feel because he was one of them and while the political spectrum of how they vote is one thing, actions that jeapordize their missions and families is entirely another. The leaks are reckless and they are being done for political gain. So now, while saying simultaneously that the leaks are not for gain you claim that denouncing them IS? Bizarro world, indeed.

So every SEAL team members must feel the same way? If he's not about credit, why does he need to use his history as a SEAL team member? Maybe the other SEALs who aren't publicly using the SEAL name to his own benefits, and politicising it, find his actions distasteful the same way this guy feels about Obama?

No I am saying that be revealing exactly which special forces team was responsible for the kill they are more at risk than any other. Whether that had an impact on this crash or not, we dont know, and probably wont ever know. Which is kind of the reason why its not neccessary to reveal which team made the kill on Bin Laden because it places them more at risk. Why add risk just for political reasons?

So you are dishonestly trying to conflate one issue with another when what was asked for was evidence or description of how the SEAL team 6 were at increased risk from the revelation that they conducted the raid. You don't know that the accidents were target at SEAL team 6 or not, but you tried to make it seem so anyway. Every US military members are always in danger in a war zone, the Taliban and Al Quaeda are not going to pass over killing any other US military member and focus on just SEAL team 6 members. You want them out of danger, get them out of the war zone.

But Obama doesn't get any credit for any of his efforts against "the terrorists," right?

Perhaps, but it the President's call and right to do so. He's the ultimate classifying (and declassifying) authority.

He was the man on deck when OBL got the knife, he gets to take whatever credit and as many victory laps as he wants. Of course, he may pay in public opinion if the perception is he's going overboard with it.

And Obama did put his presidency on the line when he did it.

If the op had SNAFUed, he would have been crucified like Carter was for his Iran escapade.

These guys are sick of Hussein Obama spiking the ball.....I hope they have the same success that the heroic Swiftboat people had in 2004.

Oh puh-lease NP....if GWB had actually done his job and had gone after and killed OBL, he would have appeared in front of the statue of liberty, wearing a banana padded flight suit with a gigantic "Mission Accomplished" banner across the Brooklyn Bridge.....and you would be on here as his biggest cheerleader proclaiming that GWB is a "great and inspiring world leader".

This is nothing more than bad propoganda and will bring the same disgrace to the name of the Navy Seals that the swiftboat liars brought to the swiftboaters. The term "swiftboating" has become synonomous with lying for good reason.
 
Re: Retired member of SEAL Team 6 launches anti-Obama PAC
