Oldest Military Blogger /Secret SEALs


United States Congressman Charlie Wilson found a way in 2007 to use American Taxpayer Dollars to help the mujaheddin in Afghanistan to defeat the Russians.
Suddenly, the Taliban becomes an American enemy and we confront them in Afghanistan. We try to help to establish a workable Government using “moderate Taliban citizens” to keep the peace until we withdraw.
The Taliban are now financed by Anti-American forces and also,some of the stuff we gave them to knock out Soviet Copters.
Congressman Charlie Wilson, who later paraphrased “whenever a plane goes down, I always fear it is one of our missiles. I feel guilty about that...I really do”.
The secrecy of the U.S.Navy S.E.A.L.s (Sea, Air and Land) was made known to me by author Tom Clancy, in my estimation a brilliant, talented fiction writer, who introduced me to, John T. Kelly, Chief Boatswain Mate, U.S. Navy SEAL.,in his 1993 book,”Without Remorse” .
To be a member of the SEAL Service, one must be so secret, that even his immediate family is restricted from that knowledge ..
The recent accolades, paid to the SEALs in their Osama Bin Laden episode, were remarkably
presented in the Media when it was released, by some sanctioned, official section of authority
in Washington......I Guess....I hope, that is the way our Information about secret exploits of our troops are handled......
The Chinook Helicopter downing was a terrible loss to American Forces and Domestic Citizenry,
everywhere.......However....My contention, is with the questionable release of the information about the presence of Navy SEALs aboard the Aircraft ... The mere fact, that the Taliban, immediately claimed complicity in the destruction of the cumbersome vehicle, was abhorrent to many.
Something is definitely wrong with some important, unanswered, questions !
Navy Forces going to help Army Rangers in the Desert and mountainous areas of Afghanistan???
What happened to the Rangers when their help did not arrive???
How many Service personnel were aboard the Chinook that had
a limited capacity of 35, including the 3 crewmen???
Who authorized the release of the 17 SEAL Casualties to the Media???
If you think I’ve left something out, besides my sorrow of it all....let me know.
“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes,
the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves
and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.”
