During my military career I held some clearances that most consider pretty high. What these guys do is classified so much higher that all I could discern was that something was going on, but had no clue as to what it was.
Thanks so much for sharing the link. When I first clicked on it and saw it is over 20 minutes long I said "no way am I going to watch all of this". But it is so mesmerizing that I not only watched the whole thing but forwarded the link to all my family.

So many of our citizens take sooo much for granted and have no clue what these brave patriots do to make our everydy lives possible. That our civilian politicians would compromise our sources and methods of gaining intelligence and our special operations tactics for their own selfish political purposesis tantamount to treason.

I agree with you 100%. My opinion is that to be elected to public office you should at least served one tour in the military. All elected officials see or know about the military are freshly painted buildings/equipment and pre-staged audiences that sit on the edge of their seats with canned questions. They have no clue what the military really does.

We have an all volunteer force on call 24/7. They deploy nonstop and sacrifice many things including missing many key events with their families. It is not uncommon for a member to deploy for 6 months and work 14 hour shifts nearly every day of the deployment. All without overtime pay.

Our politicians are about as crooked and self serving as they can get. This video is a rare chance for the military voice to be heard.... ---albeit through retired members who don't have to fear jeopardy to their careers.

Was a great video to watch and reminded me once again about why Democrats want to control the internet. What is embargoed by the government media still gets out. Am reading an interesting book about the air war in the Pacific. In it, they recounted the tale of Billy Mitchell who was drummed out of the military by Coolidge for telling the truth about the sorry state of our air power. Interestingly, he predicted in 1926 that Japan would attack us by air and that it would happen before they declare war. It is indeed sad that that our current military are again threatened by worthless, scheming politicians. I only wish the current military was as vocal about the leaks coming from the WH as they are about the Seal who wrote the book about the operation.

My experience spending 22 years in the Air Force, to include two joint assignments, is that the punishment for possibly divulging classified information is inversely proportional to the rank or status of the offender.
First of all NONE of the instances I saw were intentional They were always inadvertent and due to carelessness, miscommunication (about who would lock the safe), and so forth. What the White House has done is to INTENTIONALLY divulge information requiring the utmost secrecy simply for political gain, and that is flat a-$-$ wrong at best and treasonous at worst. It is just further proof that neither the constitution nor the will of the people nor the protection of our fighting forces mean anything to them if they think crossing those sacred lines will benefit them politically.
