"I am interested in what facts informed your viewpoint." -- Commander Lippold
October 12, 2000 the terrorist bombing of the USS Cole while refueling at port in marked an impotant line in the way the Unites States deals with terrorists. All terrorism is state sponsored. Therefor, we have to respond differently to protect the United States of America.
Commander Kirk Lippold was in charge that day. His leadership that day is proven by the fact that the USS Cole is still in service to our Country today. That vessel should have sunk. It was the leadership, training, honor and courage of the Crew that saved the USS Cole.
Commander Lippold wrote a fantastic book, Front Burner Al Qaeda's Attack on the USS Cole. And it is an important read for everyone, especially Americans. In a world full of indoctrination, falsehoods, failed leadership and divisiveness; We the People must take the responsibility to inform ourselves, think empathically and take action.
I am grateful to share this conversation with a man of Honor who lives his life with dignity and in service to others-- Thank you Commander Lippold.
