Everything he has said is possibly true and it is an embarrassment to us but then again that is what 16 years of COIN have done, I understand that our tankers have been spanked at NTC for similar actions and usually pull their shit together after being killed and reset a few times and realize they can't half ass it.
Would this CPT's very public assessment be considered in keeping with good faith and allegiance to his country?
