Who Is the US Army Officer Looking to Expose ‘Truth and Lies About Afghanistan?’

Army Lt. Col. Daniel Davis Exposes Truth and Lies About Afghanistan

For those of you who do not know already, there has been much recent discussion in the military community in regards to a column written by Lt. Col. Daniel Davis in the Armed Forces Journal entitled “Truth, lies and Afghanistan.” But who is the man behind the words? Let’s look.

First, let’s recap his thoughts. In the column, Davis paints a picture of his time in Afghanistan describing an experience far less “rosy” or optimistic than statements made by U.S. military leaders:

“What I saw bore no resemblance to rosy official statements by U.S. military leaders about conditions on the ground.

Entering this deployment, I was sincerely hoping to learn that the claims were true: that conditions in Afghanistan were improving, that the local government and military were progressing toward self-sufficiency. I did not need to witness dramatic improvements to be reassured, but merely hoped to see evidence of positive trends, to see companies or battalions produce even minimal but sustainable progress.

Instead, I witnessed the absence of success on virtually every level.”

Davis goes on to describe a lack of competency and zeal on the part of Afghan National Police in responding to attacks by the Taliban. Davis claims local officials told him that the Afghan National Security Forces have made deals with the Taliban to not shoot at each other, and release Taliban members when they are arrested. A local adviser explained to Davis:

“When a Taliban member is arrested, he is soon released with no action taken against him. So when the Taliban returns [when the Americans leave after 2014], so too go the jobs, especially for everyone like me who has worked with the coalition.

Recently, I got a cellphone call from a Talib who had captured a friend of mine. While I could hear, he began to beat him, telling me I’d better quit working for the Americans. I could hear my friend crying out in pain. [The Talib] said the next time they would kidnap my sons and do the same to them. Because of the direct threats, I’ve had to take my children out of school just to keep them safe.”

Davis went on to lambast the discrepancy between official statements and the truth on the ground.

“How many more men must die in support of a mission that is not succeeding and behind an array of more than seven years of optimistic statements by U.S. senior leaders in Afghanistan? No one expects our leaders to always have a successful plan. But we do expect — and the men who do the living, fighting and dying deserve — to have our leaders tell us the truth about what’s going on.”

So who is and what’s his background?

Davis, who goes by Danny, is from Dallas and the son of a high school football coach. He served two years as an Army private before returning to Texas Tech and completing the Reserve Officer Training Corps program. He served in Germany and fought in the first Iraq war before joining the Reserve and working civilian jobs, including a year as a member of the Senate staff. Davis returned to active duty following the September 11 attacks, serving a tour in Iraq as well as the two in Afghanistan and spending 15 months working on Future Combat Systems, an ambitious Army program to produce high-tech vehicles linked to drones and sensors.

Davis spent most of last year on his second deployment to Afghanistan working with the Army’s Rapid Equipping Force, a job he says took him ‘into every significant area where our soldiers engage the enemy.” He says he covered more than 9,000 miles and talked, traveled and patrolled with troops in Kandahar, Kunar, Ghazni, Khost, Paktika, Kunduz, Balkh, Nangarhar and other provinces over the last year. In the Rapid Equipping Force, Davis interviewed or had conversations with more than 250 soldiers in the field, “from the lowest-ranking 19-year-old private to division commanders and staff members at every echelon. I spoke at length with Afghan security officials, Afghan civilians and a few village elders.”

The New York Times reports that Davis claims to have repeatedly seen top commanders falsely dressing up a dismal situation. He decided to speak out now after consulting his pastor at McLean Bible Church in Virginia and watching his favorite film; “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” The Times has more on Davis’s mission of late:

“And then, late last month, Colonel Davis, 48, began an unusual one-man campaign of military truth-telling. He wrote two reports, one unclassified and the other classified, summarizing his observations on the candor gap with respect to Afghanistan. He briefed four members of Congress and a dozen staff members, spoke with a reporter for The New York Times, sent his reports to the Defense Department’s inspector general — and only then informed his chain of command that he had done so.”

Since he began speaking out the Pentagon says it disagrees with Colonel Davis’ account, but has not suggested any disciplinary action.

“Lieutenant Colonel Davis is obviously entitled to his opinion,” The Daily Mail reports spokesman George Little said, adding that defense secretary Leon Panetta “has very strong confidence in his commanders in Afghanistan, as they provide assessments of what is happening on the ground in the war.”

The Times say a spokeswoman for CIA Director David Petraeus said that the former commander of the U.S. forces in Afghanistan “has demonstrated that he speaks truth to power in each of his leadership positions over the past several years. His record should stand on its own, as should LTC Davis’ analysis.”

Davis has met with three members of the House and four senators so far, including Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon, who told the Times he met with Davis despite “a lot of resistance from the Pentagon.”

      This is a good example of why Ron Paul’s ideas on foreign policies may not be far from the truth. We are wasting our money overseas and maybe stirring more enemies in the process. I don’t agree with Glenn Beck or Fox People on Ron Paul either. As Glenn would say, I like Ron Paul with the exception of his foreign policy. Since when have we not mingled in other countries and do a good job. Maybe we should privatize that activity if we are truly trying to help and build allies. I don‘t believe in isolationism and I don’t think that’s what Ron Paul means in his foreign policy. I believe what this Lt. Col is saying is exactly where Ron Paul is coming from. Ron Paul is consistent for many years, he has experience and is apart from the status quo, why are people voting for the same old same old, GIngrich and Romney especially. Ron Paul is a good start in the right direction. I‘m voting what I believe in and I’m voting for Ron Paul. Ron Paul is being smeared because of his foreign policy which is misunderstood and, lets face it, he wants less government agencies, less pork, no Fed banking system. Man, don’t listen to the press, they are trying to make you believe Ron Paul can’t be elected. He’s the only one that can bring our freedoms back and I fear for him. Vote Ron Paul 2012!

      put the pieces of the puzzle all together.

      During the surge in iraq, Gen Petreaus came back and reported to congres on the progress and ground being gained. A young wet behind the ears senator questioned the validity of stats being briefed by Gen Petraeus, and claimed the sure would not work, and that Iraq was not winable. That senator was Obama. Petraus proved him wrong.

      Shortly after, NY times had a one page add for moveon.ord, calling Gen Petreus a betrayer of Americans. George Soros is the money behind Obama and behind moveon.ord

      During the last election race, Obama declared Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong time, and that Afghanistan was the right war at the right time. WOrld history shows war in A-stan to be the wrong time for Alexander the Great, the British Empire, and the Soviet Union, but who studies history these days.

      After his election Obama decides to surge to now where in Afghanistan, Code pink shuts its mouth, Cindy Sheehand is no longer seen on national news, the MSM stops showing body coutns and telling us how many soldiers are dying in A-stan (very unlike when Bush was pres, and they showed it everynight).

      Obama chooses a far left liberal General to run A-stan., Gen Stan Mcchrystal sees the writing on the wall, and does a tell all with Rolling Stone. You tell me if you think four star generals are that supid to actually tell a lib rag like Rolling Strone such a story?

      Obama demotes Petraus from being Centcom commander, and sends him to win the unwinnable war. Was it a pay back for Petraus winning in Iraq when Obama said it was not possible? Did Soros have a hand in all of this?\

      Who is one of the most respected Americans period, and if they decided to run against Obama would have a excellent chance of winning? (I think Petreus fits that mold).\\

      No Leon got moved from the CIA to be Sec Def, and Petaeus got retired and runs leons old job at the CIA.

      I would have to agree with the Lt.Col., we are fighting an unwinnable war. I was never in Afghanistan, but I did spend time in Iraq. The reason that the presence in Iraq was considered a success was that we slowly withdrew occupying troops and thus targets from the area. As the number of troops walking the street fell, so to did the incidence of their murder by the “terrorists”. It is a simple numbers game that they have played. Also, if you look at the number of attacks on Iraqi civilians over the past decade, you will see little change. If our occupation were truly a success, then there would not still be new releases every week that told of tens of Iraqi’s being murdered in a suicide bombing in a crowded market.

      The same is true of Afghanistan. Since Obama took office and we have sent more troops to the area, the number of casualties has grown. In fact, more servicemen and women have died since Obama’s inauguration than in the preceding 8 years. I hear stories from my uncle about my cousin who is still currently in Afghanistan and the conditions are not improving. The local authority does not take crimes seriously. We should leave the region, close foreign bases, sell the land back to the countries we are leaving and cut our losses while focusing on reforming our nation back into a constitutional republic which recognizes and protects the rights of the individual and their sovereignty.

To loosely qoute Machiavelli, a leader should be compassionate and moral in peace and so utterly ruthless in war so that the enemy’s children will remember and once war is done return to compassion. This is what we should have done in Afghanistan. No country has been successful in nation building in Aghanistan so we needed to go in and out quickly. I never thought Iraq was a good idea. I am 3rd gerneration Army.

      My son served 2 deployments to Afghanistan and 1 to Iraq. His first tour to Afghanistan was early on and his last tour was in 2011. I talked with him about this story. He agrees but he will continue to make the Army his career.

      Our services unfortunately pay only lip service to being up front with the truth to our leaders, they even say they want the truth even if it is unpopular, but I am telling you first hand how many times I got burned speaking up when they said it was OK to. The messenger is always shot right between the eyes because someone else in the chain is saying and promoting their own agenda which lies in stark contrast to the facts. This can be embarrasing to say dangerous for ones career chances. No one in the ranks wants to come into a unit, work tirelessly, honestly to have it all be for nothing after the tour is over. You only get so many set backs and even one is too many. So most just go along with the status quo and this is how we wind up with failure like in Vietnam. This too shall go that way unless the top demands the truth from the ranks and stops shielding failed policies that others were promoted under.

Unfortunatly there will be those that will chastize him as dilusional, holding a grudge and so on because they do not have what it takes to be a man. That is why a statement such as “Lieutenant Colonel Davis is obviously entitled to his opinion,” reports spokesman George Little said, adding that defense secretary Leon Panetta “has very strong confidence in his commanders in Afghanistan, as they provide assessments of what is happening on the ground in the war.” As they no doubt know their place and of course the consequences for speaking out of turn.

He ignored his actual military duties to the warfighter to cherry pick info and adds his 2cents.

      I would also tell all that from a warfighter stand point this guy does not pass the smell test, (and that’s first hand) he’s a slovenly officer with what I would call limited true combat experience, his biography is over inflated, of course none of that means he can’t think properly but I can tell all my first impression of this guy is he’s a POS with a chip on his shoulder.
