Afghanistan: Death by politics

The death of an American soldier due to our Medevac policy:

“Specialist Chazray Clark was dying due to politics, and the Army and Air Force pilots are very angry about this.  Chazray’s is not the only such case…It is important to be absolutely clear–this is not about the Dustoff pilots and crews, who are incredibly courageous.

“They have earned enormous respect.  They’ll fly into hell to get one of our wounded troopers.  This is about politics getting in the way of saving lives…The General in charge of this fiasco needs to be fired.”

Obamalot could remedy this with a phone call, and damn well better.
