#1 See - chain of command.

At least there appears to be at least a shred of integrity left someplace in the government.

#3 Apologies Herb. We're running low on 'lazy pills.' Priorities, I'm sure you'll understand.

#4 Always have a good AAR (After Action Review) even if everything goes right. Lessons can always be learned.

My question is where was the QRF (Quick Reaction Force)when shit went tits up? There should always be a group of guys kitted up and ready to respond if another unit gets hit. Even on SF missions.

#7 o why not post the link instead of making us search ourselves?

The link is always attached to the headline, Herb. So clicking on the headline will take you to the article at the Wall Street Journal website. That will give you the first two paragraphs or so of the article,and the opoortunity to buy a subscription if you are not already a subscriber. I don’t know how to link to an app, I’m afraid; I just know that when I leave my browser and drop the headline into it, I am given a link to the full article.
