This is the story of how stupid political clickbait videos like Slotkin's have real consequences.
You remember this guy from the movie American Sniper?
This guy right here that was going around drilling holes in children's faces.
In 2009, my platoon caught that guy in real life, the butcher of Fallujah.
He was also the man responsible for hanging four American contractors, one of which was a SEAL brother of mine whose body was lit on fire dangling from a bridge by his neck.
My team caught that guy.
And when we brought him back, the same people who sent us on that mission, they turned around and court-martialed us for abusing him in custody, which we clearly did not do, which was proven by our full acquittals almost immediately in a courtroom, all because politicians wanted to have the talking point that they stood with the Iraqi people over their own soldiers.
And the generals, whose promotions need to be approved by the Senate, people by like Mark Kelly and Alyssa Slotkin, they bent the knee and they sacrificed me and my team at the altar of their political correctness.
And you know what it did?
It made every soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan second guess everything.
Stuff like this gets people killed.
It creates stupid rules of engagement, some of which killed my friends personally.
because they want to play political grandstand games with no intention of ever backing the soldier up when he does the bidding that they subtly encouraged.
This is why people hate politicians.
They pop off like there's some moral authority without listing a single specific thing that Trump has done illegally.
So I just have to say, Marjorie Taylor Greene, gone in January.
What's the deal with that?
Thanks for having me.
Five years.
This is the five years.
