“My conscience won’t let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America,” he had explained two years earlier. “And shoot them for what? They never called me n***, they never lynched me, they didn’t put no dogs on me, they didn’t rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father. … Shoot them for what? How can I shoot them poor people? Just take me to jail.”

Indeed.
If this pans out (and it looks like it already is) and nothing happens to these criminals there is a good chance current or former team guys are gonna be pretty livid and will start calculating risk vs. reward.
the administration who started this 20 year nightmare.
On Dec. 17, 2013, a Blackhawk helicopter known by its call sign as Arrowsmith 35 was brought down by an improvised explosive device in the mountains northeast of Kandahar, Afghanistan. Of the seven soldiers aboard, only one survived: Pfc. Jayson Morton.
His unit called itself “Extortion Company.” One of his Chinooks, flying under the call sign Extortion 17 (“one-seven”), was tasked with the special operations mission the night of Aug. 6. He knew the pilots and crew members aboard Extortion 17. They were part of his command. He would not have hesitated to fly with any of them.
So much of the war is fought in areas where these helicopters have to fly at high altitudes," where the thin air can strain the performance of the engines and rotor blades, said Ed Darack, author of the recently published book, The Final Mission of Extortion 17: Special Ops, Helicopter Support, SEAL Team Six and the Deadliest Day of the U.S. War in Afghanistan.
A typical combat mission in Afghanistan leaves little margin for error, requiring Chinook pilots to land on tiny, makeshift sites on mountain slopes where any tree, bush or rock could be hiding an enemy fighter with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.

You can blame Obama all you like, but don’t forget Bush who actually started the thing.
Everything you ever said was a god damned lie. You took so much from us even as the country begged you for a real direction opposite the administration who started this 20 year nightmare.
In fact I wouldn’t blame either, they were just following orders just as you were.
just as you were. all puppets being pulled along by a criminal cabal intent on world domination.
