MY COMMENT:
It is not the mission of a Green Beret to make statements about how he FEELS about his orders. He has many avenues of redress of his grievances: chain of command, chaplain, medical personnel, his Mamma, but not the press. I question the integrity of this reporting and/or your "anonymous sources." If Green Beret officers made these comments they have broken their oath of commissioning and defiled the Army Values, number one among them: Loyalty.

MAJ Montgomery Granger I served along with the Kurds during 2004, 2005 in Irbil, Iraq. They provided security for Coalition Forces and I feel the same way. A tough pill to swallow.

MAJ Montgomery Granger
Certainly. Hooah! There are at least NINE Kurd political/military groups, some have TERRORIST designations. It looks like the Russians my be protecting ISIS-hating Kurds. President Trump has promised to "decimate" the Turks economically should they try to decimate the Kurds in the northern Syrian border area with Turkey. I hope and pray that your former colleagues will be safe. Unfortunately, we work in a dangerous business, with no guarantees, and we follow orders.

Those soldiers are Patriots and are protecting the Constitution not the president and they do feel ashamed. I'm very surprised you don't

My oath of enlistment did not have an * which allowed me to pick and choose which orders to follow. Sounds like some kind of new oath.

MAJ Montgomery Granger That is a lie ISIS is not defeated,that's is one of his many lies along with NK is no longer a nuclear threat. Hundred thousands still remain and are a threat. Pres Bone Spurs number one butt licker Lidnsey Graham surprisingly stated he lied also.
