We all know how the SEALs helped to get Obama reelected since it was the elite Navy organization that enabled him to use their accomplishments for half of his campaign slogan – the part about “bin Laden is dead”. However, some members of that group aren’t pleased about the way they’ve been treated by their political masters, according to Washington Times’<\/a> Rowan Scarborough;<\/p>\n

A book by Billy Vaughn, father of a SEAL killed in the Aug. 6, 2011, shootdown of a Chinook helicopter in Afghanistan, blames the administration for leaking too much information about his son\u2019s unit.<\/p>\n

Another book by two former SEALs tells the \u201cshameful ordeal\u201d they endured based on allegations of prisoner abuse by one unreliable sailor and one determined terrorist. Instead of issuing gratitude for nabbing the \u201cbutcher of Fallujah\u201d in Iraq in 2009, U.S. Central Command court-martialed the SEALs on felony charges.<\/p>\n

The two authors and a third SEAL were acquitted by military juries when the prosecution\u2019s case fall apart.<\/p>\n

One of those former SEALs, Matthew McCabe, said in an interview that the ordeal encouraged him to leave the Navy last year rather than try out for Team 6 as he had planned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article goes on to mention that another SEAL is under the gun for publishing a book without getting authorization from the Pentagon about the bin Laden raid, but that the administration shared classified details with the makers of a movie about the raid, leading some folks to believe that the Obama Administration values more their relationship with Hollywood than their relationship with their warriors.<\/p>\n

The article discusses the shoot down of the conventional helicopter and the court martial of three SEALs for the unfounded accusation of abuse of a detainee which we’ve discussed at length here. Scarborough goes on for three pages, so you should click over and read the whole thing rather than me C&Ping the whole thing. I’d add that the treatment of the “urination incident” Marines by the Pentagon should be thrown into the whole discussion.<\/p>\n

But the take away is that the current administration is unappreciative of the job the troops are doing for the politicos’ reputations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
