TIL: General Mattis left Special Forces soldiers and allies on the battlefield to die (Afghanistan). Air Force sent rescue chops. Unbelievable. This is the left's hero? linuxhippie @linuxhippie Replying to  @RichHiggins_DC Mattis left critically wounded SF guys on the battle field in Afghanistan. His element was the closest & only available relief force within reach. He left SF guys & allies die, because he didn't have a"clear picture on the ground" even his subordinate staff were ashamed.
