Dakota Meyer: I Lost My Whole Team Due to Politics and the Rules of Engagement

‘I think if the president is going to do this and he is going to make this commitment to send troops over to Afghanistan’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

MEYER: "I lost my whole team due to politics, yeah, of course I did." 
KILMEADE: "In what way?" 
MEYER: "In what way? Rules of engagement. What kind of sense does it make — you think some commander makes sense of, 'Hey, we can’t drop artillery around a village because we are worried about collateral damage?' That’s not coming from guys on the ground doing the fighting. So, I mean, I would say that’s a direct cause of loss of life over in Afghanistan for sure, especially in my case."
