Random and inconsistent snippets from an unstructured mind. My truth may not be your truth. A fact is a fact only by standing on it.

when he released the iraq docs.. the white house was saying it was giving whoever we are fighting our "TTPs and SOPs" (the way we do things)

Hi Jay, welcome to Womby's drivel. Self has never been in any 'official" army (apart from "college cadets") so sort of understand pyramidal hierarchies.
Must be a difficult juggle between 'loyalty' and 'conscience'.
.. and yes, Jay: if I were "on the ground" would be extremely pissed orf with B. Manning. However, wars these days are fought, hopefully, with the knowledge that the "other side" knows as much about us as we do them.
.. and yes, 'tis a longrunning frustration in the SAS. Information from the ground is .. um, 'fucked up', misinterpreted, rejigged - by the "general staff". So, what's new?
