Obama's Afghanistan story appears to have as many holes as Swiss cheese. Here are some selected quotes:

"And the last time I checked, the only transportation assigned to a rifle platoon was 'feet, your own, 2 per individual'."

"Second, the Army doesn’t deploy its forces in the manner described.  Platoons are not split between two separate theaters.  Think about it, the reason the U.S. Army is reorganizing (has been reorganized) in to Brigade Combat Teams, is at the beginning of Iraqi Freedom, the Army was only prepared to deploy forces as a Division.  (A Division consists of multiple Brigades, a Brigade consists of multiple Battalions, a Battalion consists of multiple Companies, and a Company consists of multiple Platoons.)  Because a Brigade Combat Team is the Armies smallest deployable (conventional) unit, this entire story makes no sense from the outset.   The Army doesn’t split (conventional) rifle platoons between theaters.   However, if they are Special Ops, all bets are off."

"I am an Infantry Captain. I have deployed to  Afghanistan twice, OEF 4(2003-2004) and OEF 7-8 (2006-2007). In the army, we don't split up units like that; the quote about 15 guys from a rifle platoon bound for Afghanistan getting sent to Iraq is utter nonsense. Not enough ammunition? are you nuts? No soldier leaves Bagram Airfield without a Basic Load, 210 rds of 5.56 (7 full magazines).

"What do we do with captured Taliban/Al-Qaeda/Haqqani/Waziri equipment? We turn some of it over to the Afghan police (what is serviceable, which usually isn't much) and Afghan army units, but the majority is destroyed.

I seriously question the veracity of the"Army Captain" referred to. Most disturbing to me about this incident is it illustrates how clueless Obama and his staff are when it comes to the military.  Prepared to be the CIC indeed."

The Washington Post has a list of the top flip-flops of Senators Obama and Clinton. (Of course, with Billary flip-flops are expected.) But they left-off Obama's biggest flip-flop:
