Benghazi...what happened?!

I don't disagree with you.

I was just imagining that even in the situations you described that there was an officer on the ground, with the squad, or squad leader in charge and it would be rare for someone directly disobey an order from that person.

At least in the Navy I can tell you that there are very few situations where someone doesn't obey a direct verbal order from the CO of the ship.

And when Jumpkix said "CO" above I assumed he meant commander of the group on the ground not some guy in Washington.

When you operate in places like that when it is with in the military or other things are very different than in a normal military unit. When you do this in a civilian job the rules are blurred even more at time and you work in the grey area's.

In the end you just try and do the best you can with what you have.

Did you purposely dig up this thread to start trouble?

Yes, yes he did. He's a troll, that's what he does.

The media is desperately trying to erase the sins of Hillary's past. By 2016 she'll be a proper saint, crusader of women's rights, performing miracles, and feeding and clothing the poor.

She's really a power hungry, evil waste of humanity who is rode her husband's coat tails into an unremarkable Senate position, failed presidential run, and a Secy of State job--all throughout where she accomplished NOTHING and in fact did damage. Her legal career has been littered with shoddy deals, sketchy investments, and it's odd that everyone who knows about the dealings of the Clintons is either in jail or dead. The only reason she hasn't been disbarred is because she doesn't practice law anymore.

I'm guessing just how the left assumes that any criticism of Obama's searing incompetence is due to racism, they will apply sexism and misogyny to any criticism of Hillary and the continuing "war on women" by the right.

Bush lied, people died.

Bush lied, people died.

Is this the answer to all problems for the current administration? Oh someone else did it before so it's okay now. Should we round up a few million Jews and execute them because someone else did that before too?


I know you are goading me... you can't be that naive.

We are going to be in a world of hurt if people vote based on popularity again next time around...

Already started this one....without Obamacare, Republicans will be free to beat their wives without recourse:

Democrats know their biggest problem in this year’s midterm election is Obamacare. So top party operatives have settled on a strategy to try blunting the GOP’s advantage: Tell voters Republicans would make the problem worse — raising prescription drug prices, empowering insurance companies and even endangering domestic violence victims.

How are you preparing today for what will likely come tomorrow? The probability is high as intelligence and reasonable thought are no longer amongst this population's strong points.

Vote... and buy lots of those scary black rifles and components.

Which is why I've made more of an effort to contact legislators and signed up for the NRA/OFF (State 2A group).

Despite the fact that the majority of Oregon voters and their elected representatives are "simple folk", aka morons, I still try to vote for the best candidate regardless of party or expected outcome. So if Democrat Joe Blow wants to limit government power and authority, balance the budget, and doesn't refer to AR-15s as assault rifles, they would be a pretty compelling candidate in my eyes.

I think if we ever want to find out the truth behind Benghazi while it's still relevant, it's up to us as individuals to pressure our reps to demand answers. Even if our current administration claims to be transparent while simultaneously bypassing congress with executive orders and attempting to create laws, and doing everything they can to keep the media in their personal favor and quiet about such activity.
