Regretting The Error Is Not Enough
Dear Editor,
Oops, did I do that?
“As soon as this was brought to our attention, we immediately deleted the photo,” the rep said.
“We regret the error and any issues this may have caused.”
“The photo received more than 6,100 likes, according to a screenshot that circulated on social media on Thursday.”
That’s what the Red … I mean the White House press office and press corps is saying after publishing uncensored pictures of Delta Force operators taken during a meeting with Doddering Uncle Joe. And yes, the WH press office is just as much to blame as the uncaring reptiles that published the photos uncensored. This action, in my opinion, makes the press office and press corps responsible and liable for any and everything that happens to these men and their families. At a minimum, these brave, highly trained men may very well see their unit assignment lost or changed to a less important position. Included in this is the loss of their extremely high level of training and experience.
“We regret the error and any issues this may have caused.” Do you “… regret the error…” enough to stand up, identify yourself, and immediately resign from your safe, cushy, overpaid position? I thought not. In reality, you don’t care, just as the scum in the press corps won’t publicly admit who they are and take responsibility for anything that happens to these men and their families. I know we have freedom of the press, and I support that, but there is also the responsibility to know what to print. Freedom of speech says I can yell fire in a crowded theater but I better be prepared to accept responsibility for what happens after I do and the same applies here. They had the right to publish those uncensored photos, but will they accept the responsibility for what happens to those men and their families should something happen, God forbid? I doubt it.
The Navy SEAL who claimed to have shot Bin Laden came out on his own. He is the one solely responsible for whatever happens to him and his, again God forbid, but for something to happen to those who did their jobs without wanting the glory is totally different.
The Founding Fathers put in writing our God given rights. They mistakenly thought people were responsible enough to understand the responsibility that goes with those rights.
Carpe diem,

You are right to be upset for this type of mistake by any bureaucrat (Biden didn’t personal post the pictures) and you are likely bit premature to assume the person who posted the photo isn’t going to be fired (if they haven’t already).
Where was your over-the-top anger about Trump exposing military secrets about Israel’s ‘dome of security’ that he shared with Putin who mostly like shared with Iran who certainly would have shared with Hamas? Oh right…you only go drama queen over democrats’ mistakes. Yawn
Just another example of unqualified people in jobs they should not have.
You’re right Jv but the scary part is how he got there. All the more reason for Americans who care about their future to quit sitting out elections and get out and vote.
Cut this months of early voting crap, restrict it to no more then one week out, declare Election Day a federal holiday, and require ID when voting.
Voting is is a right, a privilege, and most importantly a responsibility of a free and independent people. Use it or lose it along with your freedoms America.
People don’t vote for the staff of a politician. Biden is so experienced he should be in an old folks home but what is your point about people not voting? Biden clearly had more experience than Trump and was clearly more qualified given Trumps lack of any discipline around state secrets for example. Oh right, you have no respect for democrats…just for those folks that live in your little echo chamber.
Joe Biden has clearly not learned much after nearly 50 years in public office other than how to make money through grift………..let’s face it, Joe Biden is a bad president. Biden’s poll numbers continue to drop with vexing problems on almost every front. Fully 60–70% of Americans currently believe that……….PERIOD.But how bad?The census by Presidential historical scholars is that James Buchanan (Democrat), is the worst chief executive in history. He did absolutely nothing to confront the southern states that were defying the federal government and demanding secession. Buchanan wouldn’t even send supplies to Fort Sumter, under siege by Confederates. When Abraham Lincoln entered the White House, civil war was imminent.The president after Lincoln was murdered, Andrew Johnson (Democrat), was incredibly incompetent, allowing racists to openly attack blacks after the South surrendered.Herbert Hoover (Republican), did nothing to alleviate suffering during the Great Depression – leading to 20 years of Democrats in the White House.Finally, Jimmy Carter (Democrat), hurt the nation during his four years. The economy was a mess, and Iran held 66 Americans hostage. Carter was in way over his head.Joe Biden may prove to be worse than them all. Just the open border alone has created massive problems (even Democrat mayors have attested to this). And Joe simply doesn’t care. Add to that falling real wages, surging crime, incredible division among the citizenry, and now two wars in three years. History will not be kind to this President……….he should not run in 2024.
Children are in charge of our Federal Govt. It is time for the grown-ups to step forward.
No kidding. But so far looks like we will have a dying old man and orange juvenile delinquent as our only two choices. Sure hope someone else steps in and saves us from these two awful choices.
Yup, we need new, younger, people at the top.
When the inmates run the asylum things happen!
Democrats are the downfall of what used to be America
