Since the removal of the letters of reprimand<\/a> there is been some protests<\/a>. This one caught my eye that was posted by Thomas E. Ricks.<\/a><\/p>\n

He has been posting articles about the families of those who where involved. <\/p>\n

Scores of men who were at Wanat have testified that they were down to one bottle of water. When they did get resupplied at the end, the water was so laced with iodine it was almost impossible to drink in the 100 degree weather. Yet because the commanders, trying to save their own skin, told Campbell that the troops had enough water, he took their word for it. In his sham investigation Campbell apparently interviewed only the three commanders being charged. That’s not an investigation, it’s a whitewash.<\/strong>
\nPart 1\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Was it absolutely necessary that Wanat be occupied given the economy of force mission, terrain and obvious scarcity of resources? Did the Battalion and Brigade allow themselves to become overextended, continuously putting their soldiers in unduly high-risk situations?” <\/p>\n

Part 2 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Part 1<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 2<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 3<\/a><\/p>\n

There too much without quoiting the entire website. But the one on part three is something else. It was claimed that it was written by the father<\/a> of one of the Soldiers that was killed in the battle, Cpl Pruitt Rainey<\/a>. Yea it is one of those that you have to read it for yourself. <\/p>\n

Now trying to figure out the truth in any of this is going to make finding a needle in a haystack a cake walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
