On July 12, Army Ranger Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Celiz died of wounds sustained in small arms fire during a military operation in Afghanistan’s Paktiya Province. Former soldiers familiar with the situation say this operation was actually part of a secret CIA program.
The program, code name Omega, is an active operation by the CIA to try to kill or capture top militants in Afghanistan. To do so, they have enlisted Army Rangers to take part in operations around the program.
The CIA has been active in Afghanistan throughout the 17+ year US occupation. The past year of escalation has seen CIA presence grow substantially. The CIA declined comment on Sgt. Celiz, and the Pentagon does not officially admit to the CIA program existing.
US Army Special Operations Command simply refused to comment on the matter, saying that there are some operations that “due to classification, we do not discuss.” The Army Rangers have often been reported to have loaned personnel to CIA programs in Afghanistan.
The US did this in Vietnam. It had a program to capture and interrogate key figures. It also had an assassination program. This could fit either of those sets of facts, and the US has lately been far more in to killing than talking to any of them.
That’s America’s way of “winning hearts and minds”. Another young life snuffed out for the profit of a tiny handful of degenerates pretending to be elites, who refuse to be held accountable to society at any level.
Bring the troops home,,,and our $trillions! U.S. Mothers and Fathers have had enough of the killing of their sons and daughters in AFG.
Imagine being the parents of this soldier knowing he died as a result of being “loaned” to the CIA. Never mind it was in year 17 of a war that should have never been waged.
Heroism and military incompetence are inseparable.
Dude! you are going to spoil the surprise! They run this program in every war. It is the “shithole country failed intervention playbook” Frankly I think they just like to kill people just ask Mattis
Karma is a bitch !
He chose to join. He chose to accept the risks. He suffered the consequences.
