#1 Zipper failure?

#2 Like Rear Admirals Kubic and Gaouette, Losey knew too much about the tragic events in Benghazi. Or in the case of Losey, too little.... and said so in congressional testimony.

You'll find no reporting of it in this article however. Note the oblique references to potential causes such as gays and women, Losey's poor table manners, angry SEAL Foundation members, etc.

Not to be forgotten was the outing of an affair by DoJ/FBI and the November 2012 resignation of General Petraeus as Director CIA. I believe the attack on Benghazi took place on 11-12 September 2012.

#3 Isn't firing somebody is the best way to make them go public, Besoeker?

#4 The leaks may have already happened and are continuing. What Admiral Losey has experienced may have been a shot over the bow, and a warning to others. None of these people want to lose their paycheck for life.

ST-6 fell on hard times and was nearly dissolved during General Powell's tenure as Chairman JCS. An operational cock-up at Paitilla Airport during Just Cause, communications losses during the Haitian Military Coup, and leaks to the press were some of the causes of Powell's distrust. For additional, read Sean Naylor's Relentless Strike, pages 54-55.

Did I mention leaks to the press, 'tell all' books, and movies like '13 Hours ?'

#5 You'll cooperate with Hollyweird, but not with Congress? Not a good strategy. Purse strings and all that sort of stuff.

#6 Seems that Losey went after people under his command and a DOD investigation between 2011-2015 upheld 3 (of 5) violations of the Whistleblower Act
