Whoever had that jackhole reporter in their contacts. It’s not the software. That’s been approved and in use for a decade all over the place.
I want to try to stay away from conspiracy theories BUT if you connect the dots and look with a critical eye, something is really fishy wirh the whole thing. On top of that the reporter’s behavior has a strong whiff of treason.
@Snake - I strongly disagree with the easier path to citizenship. Kid and cookie scenario…. Kid goes into a grocery store and steals a cookie. Owner catches him but doesn’t punish. “Just have the cookie..” What are that little thug’s friends gonna do? Come get cookies and whatever else. I know some guys who came over legally. I know the years-long struggle they went through to earn citizenship. I know how proud they were and how patriotic they are. To reward border hopping drains on society over guys like that who did it right? No thanks. I’d rather send them back and shoot anybody who tries to come back across.
I'm gonna go with a huge mistake made in an attempt to allow said jackhole to have an inside look at this handpicked group tasked with making precision strikes against the Houthis.
It's really cool in modern warfare to have a "neutral observer" tell the story or chronicle a day in the life of these dudes for posterity. I confess to watch YouTube videos of The Fat Electician where he profiles some of the most "gangster" fighting men and medal recipients in history.
Among them are SOG operators, non coms that lead from the front and Purple Heart heroes that gave all.
Waltz is a Green Beret and I'm thinking he alone might have allowed this "Atlantic" guy access to tell the story of how much careful planning goes into strategically removing enemy combatants from the battlefield. I can't think of any other reason to have this turd for a "ridealong" except to say look how smart we are!
Do I think Waltz or any others among the group should be fired?
NO.
Lesson learned. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
And make no mistake about this. You can be the equivalent of Roy Benivedez and bleed red white and blue for your country but if you have any admiration for Donald J Trump you are subject to being ostracized and humiliated by the person you chose for a once in a lifetime sum from the highest bidder because it is all political and knowledge is power.
