The Special Forces unit didn’t call for help for an hour after shooting started, and French Mirage jets didn’t arrive for another hour after that, said Gen. Joe Dunford, chairman of the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff."<br />https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-revises-timeline-on-niger-battle-1508803522RSRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-27287677301174127912017-10-24T08:43:39.276-07:002017-10-24T08:43:39.276-07:00It's great to be able to watch the Medal get h...It's great to be able to watch the Medal get hung around someone's neck BY someone who loves this country. Much as the guys who were awarded the Medal in the last several years were more than worthy; the presenter was not. <br />Boat GuyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-43645013420375625672017-10-24T03:42:34.952-07:002017-10-24T03:42:34.952-07:00Lots of unsung heroes amongst those who give medic...Lots of unsung heroes amongst those who give medical aid in war I would guess. I have an uncle who was an ambulance driver in Korea. He received medals I know, but would never speak of his experience even to his immediate family. I can't begin to imagine all the physical human carnage he must have witnessed.Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05488874925115370046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-14804666801114854802017-10-23T22:27:56.400-07:002017-10-23T22:27:56.400-07:00Yes, but the side effect of all that crapola was i...Yes, but the side effect of all that crapola was it opened the op to scrutiny, which garnered Rose's upgrade to the MOH he deserved, vs. the DSC the Army hushed to whole thing up to.<br /><br />Win-win.<br /><br />If anyone's feeling frisky, send a nice note to those lying liberal idiots thanking them for left-handedly pushing another American hero to the podium of honor, albeit by their lies and deceptions.

Watched on C-SPAN - a nicely done & appreciative ceremony with some nice remarks from the POTUS regarding his visit prior with CPT Rose's family.<br />Salute!<br /><br />NB: For those unfamiliar who may be researcning Operation TAILWIND for the first time, ANYthing you find from the scumbags at CNN or Time regarding this (other than their later retraction for spraying Agent Bullshit all over the place) is bogus.Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728311767575235395noreply@blogger.com
