From article:

“We just want this treated like any other military priority, instead of just another mission,” she said.

That's a confusing statement, but it's shameful that the priority hasn't always been higher than it is.

No telling how many SOG guys were left behind; I believe some lived a long time while efforts to extract them were lacking.

So its the military at fault for inefficiency? Just like it is the American public at fault for overspending? I am so confused right now.

Still, politicians will tell the America public to "wear a sweater" or "eat our peas" or "make sure your tires are inflated". All of these little snippets because they feel our pain and want us to know that they "share" our hardships.

Not even a pot would call a kettle black the way our elected hypocrites assign blame. Now everyone suffers while our elected royalty point fingers.

nothing to see here; move along
