The Spec Ops Dog And Pony Show Coming Your Way
unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, I’ve decided to give ya’ll an unhappycamper summary of the article and a link to the OP. To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.

To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

(This space reserved for a legally correct snark dump.) It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.

unhappycamper summary of this article: "Four more were believed killed or detained"... I'm curious - can you not tell how many were killed? Don't you know how many you detained?

Afghanistan is becoming more and more the clusterfuck of occupations.



Petraeus told reporters traveling Friday with Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen that in the past 24 hours, special operations forces carried out eight missions, capturing three targeted individuals. Four more were believed killed or detained, Petraeus said.
