In Emotional Moment Of Speech, Trump Addresses Navy SEAL's Widow

haymarket said:
So when Trump talks about how the previous administration planned this raid and how his generals carried it out and THEY LOST RYAN - you somehow someway interpret that as a harmless aside that the poor guy simply died during the raid?

Like I said... WOW!!!!!!

Yes, as when a description of any military action when someone is "lost". Duh.

I think Flynn took advantage of Trump's naivety on military affairs and convinced him to sign off on the raid using men on the ground instead of drones. And since Trump fancies himself to be a macho leader he didn't even think about it for more than a day before he signed off on it over dinner.

So tell me why do you think the people who carried out this raid, those people who do this for a living and are among the very best we have in our military were pushing to conduct this raid.
What background do you have to think you know better then the folks at JSOC and SEAL Team 6 to say that this raid was not worth doing and that we should have just dropped some bombs.

Furthermore had we just went with your idea and dropped some bombs on the compound how many more civilians do you think would have been killed. I would be willing to bet had Trump had that done you and many others on the left would be condemning him for dropping bombs where there was known civilians including an American citizen.
At the end of the day the main reason you and those like you are making a big deal of it because you hate Trump. Nothing more. I know it and deep down you know it to.

The President reviews the risk/benefit assessment as presented to him and decides if the mission should go forward. Something war Presidents do in certain situations. This evidently was one of those missions.

And seeing as how you are questioning that decision what was the risk/benefit assessment he was given. Surely before you are judging him you know what he was presented.

Except Trump IS NOT a military guy and was talking about those he saw responsible for the death.

My bad. I thought I was replying to a post from moot and not you. My apologies.

They were honoring him.

Whatever happened to honoring people with a moment of silence? Oh, yeah. I forgot. The buffoon and his merry band of ****ing idiots have taken over.

The TEAM lost Him. The Seals lost one of their own. You are waaay off perspective on this one, Haymarket. The mission was planned, run by Obama, and the military was waiting for a moonless night. It came. They went. That's it. You are pickin' up the baloney the Left is puttin' down. I wish there was some fairness in you, but I just fail to see it.

EDIT...Further, there is absolutely NOTHING the POTUS needs absolution FROM. People die in wars. We lost one man. We've lost tens and hundreds of thousands. Who are you kidding??

Nonsense. Obama? WTF is that? Is Trump doing Obama stuff now. I though he ran on opposing all things Obama :roll:

But, yeah. A guy dies because Trump is an idiot....blame Obama. :lol:

Since they know what actually happened I will take their word over clearly bias individuals making things up without any knowledge of what was actually accomplished.

If they believe Obama planned and Trump approved a screwed up raid that targeted women and children instead of terrorist they probably believe people were cheering our brave soldiers death.
