Mr.
Englen spoke about the 2nd Amendment from the perspective of someone
who has put most of their life on the line, figuratively and literally,
for this Country. In particular, he commented on his participation in
the planning and execution as a flight leader of the air assault that
successfully took out Osama Bin Laden. His comments on that experience
have direct significant to the events we see unfolding in America today
with a president who is unfit for service.
Mr. Englen spoke of
the period starting months before the air assault as he worked with a
team to start the planning the mission He noted how the President,
Barack Obama, was briefed at least three times to ask permission to
perform the mission. Those statements led to the following comments:
Doug Englen September 4, 2021 Excerpt
It was concerning to learn that the recent events in Afghanistan directed at the hand of Joe Biden cannot be blamed on insanity or dementia but that these choices are inconsistent with a history of either incompetence or an unwillingness to grasp international significance of America’s might.
