Mainecat Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Special Forces soldier: "I am ashamed for the first time in my career." Here's a twitter thread from Jennifer Griffin from Fox News, of all places, reporting on Syria: I just spoke to a distraught US Special Forces soldier who is among the 1000 or so US troops in Syria tonight who is serving alongside the SDF Kurdish forces. It was one of the hardest phone calls I have ever taken. "I am ashamed for the first time in my career." This veteran US Special forces soldier has trained indigenous forces on multiple continents. He is on the frontlines tonight and said they are witnessing Turkish atrocities. "Turkey is not doing what it agreed to. It's horrible," this military source on the ground told me. "We met every single security agreement. The Kurds met every single agreement. There was NO threat to the Turks - NONE - from this side of the border." "This is insanity," the concerned US service member told me. ""I don't know what they call atrocities but they are happening." ...more https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1182053870744276993.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 His orders are to stand the fuck down. That’s it. That’s all he needs to do. That’s all he needs to know. Speaking to the media about this will get him tossed from his unit....and rightfully so. Watered down “elite units” lacking discipline and skill from decades of war. Shameful on our part.
