“Loose lips sink ships!”

Yeah, but here’s the thing: the guy with the loose lips is a general. And I don’t see anyone writing his fake suicide note, calling him full of shit, or suggesting that he’s a bad guy who doesn’t care about soldiers’ lives.

Good to hear the Pentagon is “finally” clarifying the story. Before this …. I suspect that it must have been a few hard days for you. Talk about feeling relieved.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the US/ROK did have feet on ground in NK. Now the problem is that the North is gonna start looking even harder for them if they are there…

David Axe is suffering what many straight forward, honest and hard working professionals suffer, an inability to cope with the bullshit of politics.

Let this be a lesson to returning servicemen who leave the forces and have to survive on civilian street.

I’m sure they also say similar things as David when they are confronted with the ‘no mercy’ reality of the daily grind, while wearing a tie.

I may not always agree with the opinion aspect of your articles, but I have always considered you an unimpeachable source when it came to the facts. Glad you stuck to your guns on this one, and glad that the Pentagon has started to clear the air about the misstep.

Contextually, if you look at what the NKs have done, US/ROK SF in NK is really not a big deal…although there haven’t been much news re NK infiltrators since late 90s:

For god’s sake, if there were National Guard units looking for armed and killing Spetznaz dudes in North Dakota, people would be asking why we don’t have our own SF guys in Soviet Union (maybe we were).
