SOFREP and CBS are running the helmet video from the Green Berets killed in Niger. Is the video newsworthy, or disrespectful click-bait?

If watching the videos is part of an investigation I am okay with but to turn it loose to the public is completely disrespectful. I say a big hell no on that. No, no, no!!!

I don't feel this kind of footage should be promulgated willingly outside of those who can directly benefit from it for intelligence or training purposes. Imagine being one of the family...you've literally got the last few moments of your spouse's, sibling's or child's life available to you; moments you should never have to see.

AFRICOM, SOCOM, USASOC, USASFC somebody should tell them to go screw themselves. The video was never intended for any of those sacks of shit. If they wanted to know what happens in the land of SOF, I say strap it on and get all you want. The problem they have with that is that is as close as they will ever get to the real thing is watching movie or God forbid a helmet cam video. Disgusting!!! I will just say for their sake it is good I am not in charge I would tell them to get bent. If they wanted to see the life call the Group recruiter.

I was under the impression that CBS obtained the feed directly from a North African news outlet. Am I incorrect?

With respect, AFRICOM, SOCOM, USASOC, USASFC didn't release the video. It was released by ISIS ... who got it from the helmet cams of the U.S. dead.

U.S. soldiers killed in Niger seen battling ISIS in new video of their last moments alive
A new ISIS video, entitled "Assault of the Brave Against the Army of the Americans," shows the last moments of four Green Berets killed in Niger last year.

Okay that is a much easier pill to swallow. However, John that is a damn US troop doing ugly work those pansies at the news station cant wrap their minds around. The damn news people should have a little more common decency than that. John the problem is those sacks of cat shit have never been given the flag off of one of those boxes. Those son of bitches I would be more than happy to sit with any of them and discuss the subject matter. How in the hell were they raised, by a bunch of 2nd graders, disgusting.
