#1 Typical of the media to give a megaphone to Gold Star parents who are critical of a GOP president, while denying same to Gold Star parents who were critical of Obama. It's good to own the megaphone.

#2 People say the mission was leaked and the enemy were prepared. If so, the leakers should face a military firing squad.

#3 Almost never do you not have an OP not compromised anymore. Just look at the MOG.
The issue was is it necessary.

This OP was Meet and Right to DO. It has been in the pipeline for a vary long time.

Removing Emotion from some of the actual necessities for living in such lush and peaceful Homeland, requires some introspection.

Many Faithful appreciated the short time they had before they saved many. Most are not worried about that decision after Death, I assure you.

#4 Looks like the media is once again looking for its Cindy SheHag.

#6 Almost all missions go tits up in the beginning. You train for the fact that Mr. Murphy will be there trying to fuck you every way he can. Our troops are good because they can adapt and still complete the mission when Plan A, B, C and D go all to hell.
It is always good to have a AAR (After Action Review) to dissect what went wrong, but unless their is gross incompetence you never blame anyone.
This is more of a media witch hunt to try to further discredit Trump. There were raids that got US soldiers killed under Obumble and there wasn't one goddamn peep about it from the MSM.

#7 I just don't understand why this guy is blasting away at Trump...the mission was developed under the sheep in sheep's clothing president and went FUBAR as soon as their skids hit the ground.

Its been in the media several times that the mission was compromised and this guy blames Trump?

Well, looking at it this way, he's grieving and he's hurt and he's still in the denial/anger phase of the process. He is lashing out just because he can't do anything else...we should pray for him and his family and we should pray for the SEAL's immortal soul.

God bless this family.

#8 Sock Puppet of Doom, Grief doesn't always make sense.

#9 You lose a son, nearly everyone can be the enemy. My sympathy to the family for sure.

#10 Mr. Owens is being stress-pumped by every interviewer and any/every response is distorted at 'print' time. This increases the sticky-ad view frequency and click interval.

#11 White House said today there will be an investigation. If there was a tip off, this will add gravity to the cause of finding those who are leaking to undermine the White House.
