I believe that pic of Meuller is right before he earned a Bronze Star w/Valor Device and a Purple Heart.

Adm. McRaven: Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President
Opinion
William H. McRaven, The Washington Post | on August 16, 2018
Dear Mr. President:
Former CIA director John Brennan, whose security clearance you revoked on Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don't know him.
Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency.
Like most Americans, I had hoped that when you became president, you would rise to the occasion and become the leader this great nation needs.
A good leader tries to embody the best qualities of his or her organization. A good leader sets the example for others to follow. A good leader always puts the welfare of others before himself or herself.
Your leadership, however, has shown little of these qualities. Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation.
If you think for a moment that your McCarthy-era tactics will suppress the voices of criticism, you are sadly mistaken. The criticism will continue until you become the leader we prayed you would be.

Maybe he did, but no one that is not actively employed in a position where they need a clearance should not have one, it is absurd that this type stuff exists.

Lied to congress and illegally spied on congress. Yep, he is full of integrity!

frick him! Also those of us who served in combat arms all know the reason why the SEALS were chosen for the OBL mission and it wasn’t because they were/are the best.

I await Trump's response of "consider yourself honored."

Trumpers have no shame.
Let’s review who Trumpers ridicule:
- Marine Corp Captain, Platoon leader, Bronze Star, Purple Heart recipient who’s served his country his whole adult life.
- Admiral who oversaw the killing of 9/11 mastermind OBL
- Navy Captain, Nam POW, Bronze Star, Silver Star, Purple Heart recipient.
Who Trumper’s worship:
POTUS who received 5 deferments to avoid Vietnam because of bone spurs. Would go on to lead his collegiate ping pong team. Would later receive a $1 million gift from his dad to begin his business.
LOL, no wonder Trumpers have NO credibility.

They were picked so they'd write books later like all SEALS seem to do.

Obama nominated him....part of the pussification of the Military by one of the worst Presidents ever (granted Clinton started the pussification, Bush put it on hold, then Obama batted clean-up....just ask Mattis).

What theater of operations did you ever set in foot to question anything?

Nice try at deflection. That’s what you guys do right? Get a tough statement shirk it / dodge it / deflect it and spin into a “whataboutism”.
I’m proud of the military, because I didn’t serve doesn’t mean I’m any less of a person. If that’s what you’re saying, then you must be pissed at this pussified President?
OR...maybe your just one of those baws that talks out of both sides of his mouth to win an arguement?

Really! The guy Diane Feinstein wanted fired after it was revealed the CIA hacked Senate Computers, is one of the finest public servants ever?

Robert Swan Mueller III deployed to Vietnam as a Marine infantry platoon commander in 1968.
That ain't Robert Swan Mueller, in your photo. Wanna know how we immediately know that it's not him?
Hint look at the rank on his sleeve. That's is a PFC.
ONCE AGAIN... FAKE NEWS!
