That was a rough one to see, a lot of mistakes were made and a lot of continual problems with indig units that needs to be address for partnership continuity.

[GrimSoldat]

I knew one of the guys on that op. He deserved better than that, they all did. Why the fk were we even there in the first place? They didn't even get so much as a scroller on CNN. 😡

[knuckledragger]

Rich men dont mind losing a few of our son's to get what they want. That's why they were there.

[paintedwarrior]

When are we the people going to ask the question??? Why do our troops not get the support they need? Why aren't they allowed to fully engage? Why are so many left hanging and die because the dod is operating the way it does.

[mikemallory]

Those Green Berets should not have been held out to dry like that!

[Rainersherwood]

Unsexy air power is what the US is missing. A few f35s controlling the entire airspace can enable relatively inexpensive, low performance aircraft to provide CAS and ISR in everything but peer to peer front line conflict. Bring back prop powered CAS.

[ElonMuckX]

The same strategy was used by my opposing team in a 6 on 6 volleyball game. They put their 4 better players together, and the 2 worst next to each other. When I came up to serve the ball, I targeted those 2 players. Since they didn’t spreed those two players out, between the other four, I crushed them on serves! They couldn’t get any help from those 4.

We were playing for who’s buying beers after, and my team just helped to pay the tip:)

[chrisburke]

That was such a clear case for procuring a cheap to acquire/cheap to operate turboprop plane that could loiter over an area & provide CAS

We bought the Afghan Air Force the AT-6 and it was solid choice.

Doesn't go Mach 12 or have photon torpedoes tho...

[FirstLast-gllw]

This video is online and it’s fucking heartbreaking to see. Unfortunately one of the KIA’s, I believe Johnson, was recording the entire thing on his GoPro.

Edit; full name and rank; Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Johnson, age 39. These men deserve full recognition.

[JessicaBlaze]

I seen this and it infuriates me to no end that they were abandoned and then said to be traitors that didn't listen to command when that's what THEY did- they listened to a shitty command and the top dudes in that platoon were saying that they didn't feel safe doing this mission! RIP and thanks for your service

[Ajax_]

I was deployed near by when that ambush happened. Lost some great guys, terrible incident.

[TPSYOM]

Unconventional forces are special because, unlike people who panic when a plan falls through, they're trained to adapt and overcome. They are the top of the spear. As a retired Air Force Master Sergeant, they've bailed my Raven teams out several times. They are the heroes, the ones that don't come home. We love you and are grateful for your sacrifice.

[jazzdad]

Because our leaders are sleeping with the enemy!!!

[paititi]

Because our military command has become a typical bureaucracy wherein the pencil pushers and yes-men in safe offices make decisions that impact those on the ground who actually do the work and would know better.

[Bruv-]

Typical. We do that same thing with volunteer guy from different occupational specialties. It's why the statement, "Never volunteer to deploy" exists. It's a stupid habit poor leadership can't seem to ditch.

[manuellabor]

The mistake came from their Command. Putting them in that position.

[jackschitt]

My nephew is with the Missile defense agency DOD and he has his s*** together but government is just inherently inefficient unfortunately

[shaneglass]

It was so tragic watching the gopro footage when it first leaked

[domgmr]

Back in the 80's thier was a big fight between SOF and the Airforce over providing SOF forces with CAS even a guy dropping gernades would have been better than what SOF got out of it. Still the problem big Air could give a shit less about CAS

[SolarBear]

Are they really special if they can’t operate without air support?
