An election year battle (click title to entry - thank you) between liberal and conservative veteran groups over President Barack Obama's national security record has taken a nasty turn, with a prominent pro-Obama group VetPAC raising questions about the service record of Ryan Zinke, a former Navy SEAL who is chairman of an anti-Obama group.
“It’s Swift Boat Veterans all over again,” retired colonel Dick Klass, vice-president of VetPAC, told BuzzFeed. “It’s some guys being used, they are trolling for money among the Boone Pickens and Koch Brothers.”...
George W. Bush was never able to kill the man who killed so many in the USA. The USA went to war in retaliation for an attack on our civilians and our economy. President Obama carries the responsibility for the outcome of the raid. It is just that simple. Leaks did not kill Osama bin Laden. Think about that for awhile. And when it comes to leaks the Bush White House championed one that ended the career of a valuable CIA agent seeking to impact the trade of nuclear materials, so when people talk about leaks they need to get their act together. President Obama does not tolerate leaks and has ordered investigations. I wish people would grow up, the military really is about life and death; not just of soldiers either.

WASHINGTON — Suicides among active-duty soldiers in July more than doubled from June, accelerating a trend throughout the military this year that has prompted Pentagon leaders to redouble efforts to solve a puzzling problem.
The Army, which is the only branch of the military that issues monthly press statements on suicides, said 26 active-duty soldiers killed themselves in July, compared with 12 in June. The July total was the highest for any month since the Army began reporting suicides by month in 2009, according to Lt. Col. Lisa Garcia, an Army spokeswoman....
