- PhantomGremlin 10y agoWhen your life depends on it, you never want to count on another branch of the service. Or you wind up asking for help from a douche like US Army General McChrystal. Who won't give it to you. Here's one person's comments on how the general fucked over some Marines and Navy: they left our men to perish without fire support because of your rules of engagement I don’t retreat one iota from what I said there.

Asked again, he refused again. http://www.captainsjournal.com/category/general-mcchrystal/ http://www.captainsjournal.com/category/general-mcchrystal/ http://www.captainsjournal.com/2011/02/17/reprimands-in-marine-deaths-in-ganjgal-engagement/ http://www.captainsjournal.com/2011/02/17/reprimands-in-mari...
