Owens, also a military veteran, was troubled by Trump’s harsh treatment of a Gold Star family during his presidential campaign. Now Owens was a Gold Star parent, and he said he had deep reservations about the way the decision was made to launch what would be his son’s last mission.

My sauces tell me that they were led into an ambush because of someone loyal to Obama letting the enemy know of the operation ahead of time.

Not clicking the link. Soldiers know the risk. I'd rather just honor him for his sacrifice than follow you in to making it political.

Sadly, Trump has been compromised by both Israel and Saudi Arabia, like many Potus before him. Our Middle Eastern foreign policy will be shaped in order to protect and placate the Wahhabi and Zionist overlords who want Iran destroyed.

I sympathize with him and mourn his loss for America but he's likely not in the right and credible state of mind to be making such a request.

I understand his grief but he is grasping. That operation had to have been in the works long before he took office. Also the military planners are the ones who made the mistake on how tough the resistance was going to be. The POTUS made a decision based on info and recommendation. I am quite sure if they would have said that it could result in a 1 hour fire fight he wouldn't have approved.

I have no problem with him seeking answers. It's just interesting how NOW the opinions of military families matter.

I feel for the dad but this isn't rec baseball. I have to think your kid knew what he was getting into before he went into SEALS.

How many millions of people have died following military orders? How many of those were due to negligence at least in part. What makes you so fricking special buddy?

Funny thing, JT, but I don't recall you being concerned about any grieving fathers the 8 years prior to now.

Hypocrite.

This. Not well informed on the raid , but read the woman and some children were armed... like they were prepared. Just what I read.

I don't agree with him. The military, especially the SEALS, is not a guarantee for old age during our time here on earth.

I might argue with the level of his compromise...but it's tough to argue with the rest of it
