In every other instance I've seen- this dude gives the military the respect they have earned and deserve. Having lost a sibling earlier this year (cancer, not combat), I can say with the utmost ferocity that this is a dick move on the part of the rep to shove this family into a spotlight they didn't want nor ask for.
The turn of phrase "here to what fore" cracked me up. 👍🏻👍🏻
I guess we are all doomed to root for our team.. It’s very easy to point your finger and say “that dude doesn’t care.” I guess when msnbc keeps saying it.. must be true. I’m sure the author is a very well connected man that knows what actions the President takes, phone calls he makes, way he thinks and the content of his private conversations... he must otherwise how could he form such strong conclusions. Hey people do you really think you know what is going on? It’s scary that everyone has such a strong, judgemental opinions when they have very few reliable facts. Ok now I’ll wait for “they did it to Obama too!!” Ya.. doesn’t make any smarter. Before you drive your stake in the ground and declare your political opponents degenerate scumbags please consider that you have very little reliable information to support your convictions . In light of this consider where all this rhetoric is taking this country. The only thing we know for sure is we don’t have a lot of reliable information. I’m not saying don’t form an opinion, I’m saying don’t be so damn sure you have all the facts. Please.
America lost 4 of its best also known as the quiet professionals while carrying out a mission some say started in 2001, the public would appreciate details on what every special ops team is doing in every part of the world 365/24/7 Trump like the presidents before him did not give full details of the sf team operations in africa, Trump did not seem to publicly acknowledge our fallen hero's for unknown reasons, could it be perception to the enemy? trying to keep not so covert operations covert? it might be noted some green berets who served in vietnam and died were not even acknowledged until 50 years after the war. [quote]The Trump administration’s handling of the Niger ambush that claimed eight lives seems to have been a failure and has now been placed under “damage control” by the White House. [endquote] I do not see how you see it that way? do you think trump was personally notified the green beret would be meeting with some tribe leader and they might get ambushed? we all know the sf would not be taking advice from Trump on how to go to a meeting and return without getting ambushed, or seeking any other advice for that matter. once the ambush started it probably didnt last long enough to get trump on the phone to advise/ sarcasm i stopped watching the nfl when kaepernick started his attention seeking protest, when questioned kaeper couldnt even explain why he was protesting. i do wish Trump had never called nfl players sob's however i would not support Pence staying at a game when players disrespect the flag, i know you said it cost 200,000 for pence to attend the game, it would have cost even more if he stayed for the full game, Pence actually saved the country a few bucks i guess anything is fair game when biased political opinions get involved there are probably some who believe Trump called the wife to insult her because her husband got killed in africa
This was a lose/lose politically in my opinion. There was no right path after people try to make this trumps bengazie. Both sides us the dead as political darts. Thats nothing new. Still a stupid path to travel.
