Good one Charlie...........I was going to "Like" the post to commend your posting it, but then it seemed weird to "like" something so infuriating.

Glenn, while not all current military personnel may share the sentiment of the young lad you referenced, there appears to be considerable angst in the SEAL community. It began at a low rumble a year ago with the announcement by the President that had more I's than a potato field, with only scant acknowledgement of the personal risks of the team members directly involved. But they bit their tongues as good military practice requires of a team that operates in tight secrecy, and rode it out. However, this week's actions have rubbed the scab off. Not just the self agrandizement, but also the revelation that a memo had been written prior to the OBL mission that essentially stated the position that if the mission was successful, the Pres would take full credit, while if it had failed in some way, the turd was in Adm. McRaven's pocket (he being the SEAL commander who took charge of mission planning). It's bad enough to motivate many former SEALs to join together to voice their disgust. The dishonest media will portray their actions as another "Swift Boat" operation, and dismiss it as partisan driven. Just as they never acknowledged (or understood?) that John Kerry/Dems bragging up three purple hearts that never required a minute of hospital time was unintentionally demeaning to deserving casualties who may have suffered significantly more. That testifying to some degree of falsehood against the individual soldiers was seen as betrayal, especially to a group of vets who felt they were the scape goats for poor political decisions. The current crop of vocal SEALs will be attacked and demeaned as well. Sad, but predictable. This time around though, there may be an even more significant backlash. Time will tell.
