charges in scathing 90-page opinion and false narrative that was spun over the last 10 years beginning with e-mail from hillary clinton that these guys fired unarmed citizens which is completely false. carley: so the narrative and the reason the four men are in prison right now is because some people believe that the the craziness of war got to them and they started firing at iraqi civilians and killed about 17 of them, but you say that that s not what happened, what actually happened in your opinion? let s talk about the fact that they re all combat vets, this was not going to happen that they were going to freak out in a combat situation and that s what this was, they were trying to clear a traffic circle for another unit that was rescuing a diplomat who had been at a location that was bombed.
lieutenant in iraq who founded the the iraq and afghanistan veterans. thanks for being here. your view of all this. the stakes are high. this is the highest stakes we could possibly imagine, right? war. international conflict, nukes. i think overall the democrats have a stronger hand than maybe since john kerry. not just mayor pete but they have others, all post 9/11 combat vets. they are just now waging a first frontal assault the. this is the opening salvo from mayor pete. the difference was timing and tone. mayor pete went first. he said i ll take on national security. they re looking for that signaling to hear that he will prioritize national security. it is a strong hand for him. and i wouldn t be surprised if they follow on. and then you open up on trump
might as well been the heading. the message is always clear, despite your, quote, bone spurs, sparing you service in the vietnam war, you ve always been with the troops in spirit, right? but going into this week s commemoration, you ve been taking hits on the campaign trail from the combat vets in the race. maybe you saw some of that, mr. president, because this week you told british journalist pierce morgan this about the vietnam war. i was never a fan of that war. i ll be honest with you. i thought it was a terrible war. i thought it was very far away. you re talking about vietnam and at that time nobody ever heard of the country. would you like to serve generally? i would not have minded that at all. i would have been honored but i make up for it right now. you, quote, wouldn t have minded serving, mr. trump?
jedediah: totally unapologetic at this school. one of the things that they said, were not looking for a fair fight. we are looking for a huge advantage, and that s the truth. i think people who are a little unsure about things like arming teachers for example, where they get concerned about that, should find comfort in combat vets. these are the people have the proper training with firearms and you have the proper training for situations like this. they are not going to flee the scene. they are not going to make those kinds of mistakes in those spontaneous moments that someone else might do. i think this is a middle ground where people should feel comfortable. greg: terror in the sky. yes, terror. a delta flight nose dives twice at 30,000 feet. see it next. uh-oh! guess what day it is? guess what day it is! huh.anybody? julie! hey.guess what day it is? ah come on, i know you can hear me. mike mike mike mike mike. what day is it mike?
greg: a florida school has hired two combat vets to protect students and staff. according to the principal, any intruder entering the school for the arts campus would be shot and killed. if someone walks in shooting, someone walks in with a weapon, we are not going to fool around. we are not going to pause. we are not going to ask them questions. we are going to shoot them. eliminate the threat. if they die in the process, that s unfortunate but better them then one of our students quite frankly. greg: we are not going to talk with them. we are not going to negotiate. we are going to put them down as quickly as possible. that is a plan. compare that to the wishy wash of the broward sheriff so anxious to blame the nra that he forgot to look in the mirror at himself. manatee is a charter school. they can decide who to hire. they went with armed combat vets. one guard is a 15 year army vet who served three tours. the school is protected by the best offenders on earth and those vets
