Mr. Charles Woods is a great man. His son is a hero. Glen Dougherty is a hero. They told command to pound sand and ran into harms way.
This family has lived my worst nightmare; this scenario has haunted me for the past 30 years.
If this was me, I would have never been able to handle it with the grace and dignity he has shown.
I said weeks ago something was wrong; I knew how the system worked. The guilty need to go to jail on this one.
I would suggest, no request, everyone call their Senators and Congressman; I have. This needs public scrutiny in the worst way.
We owe it to the men and women in uniform.
Here is the interview:

[/quote]Woods went on to read the following statement, in honor of his son:
“I want to honor my son, Ty Woods, who responded to the cries for help and voluntarily sacrificed his life to protect the lives of other Americans. In the last few days it has become public knowledge that within minutes of the first bullet being fired the White House knew these heroes would be slaughtered if immediate air support was denied. Apparently, C-130s were ready to respond immediately. In less than an hour, the perimeters could have been secured and American lives could have been saved. After seven hours fighting numerically superior forces, my son’s life was sacrificed because of the White House’s decision. This has nothing to do with politics, this has to do with integrity and honor. My son was a true American hero. We need more heroes today. My son showed moral courage. This is an opportunity for the person or persons who made the decision to sacrifice my son’s life to stand up.”[/quote]
