The SEALs involved with this incident are simply disgusting. The gunship was from my squadron the situation is still a sore point. Rob Harrison, now a retired CMSgt, was the DSO on board Grim that night and he fought hard to get Chappy recognized. Greta interview with Rob here.

All of us are innocent before the law until proven guilty.

Was on a trip and didn't get to post but Thursday April 24th was the 45th anniversary of Operation Eagle Claw, the failed mission to rescue the American hostages in Iran. The mission failure led to a Joint Chiefs of Staff commission to which was established to investigate the planning, organization, and execution of the Iranian hostage rescue mission. This commission, known as the Special Operations Review Group aimed to identify areas for improvement in future special operations. The mission's failure highlighted the need for better coordination, planning, and training, ultimately leading to the creation of the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). Much of the wreckage from the mission is sitting in the same place in the desert near Tabas Iran. Following the failure the survivors exfiled to Oman, when they landed they were greeted by cases of beer and a simple note from some British Civilians at the field. The note is below and is in AFSOC HQ today.

For those didn't know Rob, he was "the Tom Brady" of the aerobatic world (for lack of a better comparison). And a very, very pleasant and humble person. A dedicated professional who wanted to always be the best. And he was. Him him...

Danger41, like the rest of us, put on a uniform to defend ideals. One of which is the right to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. Let's not forget that. I hope the drunk piece of shit rots in prison, and he should be man enough to plead guilty for his crimes, but his attorney is doing the job I hope he would do for you or me if we were on trial.

Fuck the SEALs. Plenty of good ones but an above average amount of shitbags for a Tiered organization. I worked at the Beach; they have a massive ego issue within the command. How anyone could see this account and not be excited to celebrate Chapman is beyond me but they’ve drawn it out for years. Disgusting.

Anyone here think Trump is learning about the true nature of his buddy Putin?

22 Aug it will be awarded, fuck the Seals. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/president-donald-j-trump-award-medal-honor-4/
