Even if I do suppose the Trump crew of being capable of screwing up a one-car funeral procession, there is something about the SEAL team chaplain announcing himself being a bit overt (as opposed to people trying to be covert). Of course, now that it has been alleged (based on poorly communicated info?) it will stay a part of left criticism of Trump because that's the way of things. So that gives us one less thing that Trump and company screwed up, but I will raise them that Iraqi legislators have now proposed clearing the US presence out again. <br /><br />Trump still doesn't seem to be able to do the right thing in the right way.Vixen Strangelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976594951225450413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436782247272162797.post-74810061901030667322018-12-28T14:08:37.990-05:002018-12-28T14:08:37.990-05:00Nope.

Easy enough to check the story:<br /><br />No. He did NOT compromise the identities or location of SEAL team 5. It takes very minimal research to determine that those are Air Force SpecOps troops, most likely based there at al-Asad.<br /><br />1.) Wrong Camies for SEALs. Those are the AOR1 Digital Desert camos - it's not unheard of for Navy SpecOps to wear them, but it would be very odd.<br /><br />2.) The only person with a Naval Special Warfare insignia - the SEAL Trident usually referred to as 'The Budweiser' isn't in that picture at all, but is sitting with the President at the table.<br /><br />3.)Equipment. The SEALs haven't used the antiquated AN/PVS-23 NVGs in many years. They use the Level 3 GPNVG-18 ANVIS system, and have been using them since before the raid that killed bin Laden.<br /><br />4.) You see any beards? It's true, Navy SpecWar operators aren't REQUIRED to wear a beard, but how many of them to you see without one? Here's a dozen supposed Navy SEALs and they're ALL clean shaven?<br /><br />There are a number of other clues, but you get the idea. This is an Air Force Special Ops team that happens to be based where the President went. mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.com
