Good one. Tell me more about how the military works.


I explained it in my post. If I made an error in my explanation, go ahead and refute what I wrote.

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.


This is exactly how I feel.

What you wrote was nonsensical and irrelevant to my post.

I'm fine if you want to just continue to stick your foot in your mouth.

I re-read all of your posts in this thread. You seemed to have the opinion that it is a "cop-out" to say that the "Slain SEAL's" death should not be politicized to blame Trump.

I responded to that opinion. If that is not your opinion, then my response applies to others who hold that opinion.

Please excuse me if I mis-understood your opinion. Thank you for your time and clarifications.

That is what I responded to. Not sure I could be any clearer.

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.

Does anyone agree with this grieving father?


Owens admitted he didn't vote for President Trump so I don't expect him to say anything good about President Trump.

We don't want to make this political until we want to make it political.

Interesting. NOW the media is onboard with getting to the bottom of things like this.

See, this is why I'd rather have an R in the WH. I want to know stuff like this. Under Obama, we would be told we would find out when the media told us. Funny thing was, they would never tell us.

I do apologize and I'll edit my posts somehow to correct things.

Every single death by ISIS is on the blood stained hands of Obama...by completely ignoring his generals he pulled our troops out of Iraq and that directly led to the rise of ISIS...and don't play the libtard card of blaming Bush, the fighting was over with by '08...
I mean, if you want to get technical...the Reagan Doctrine is the action that has created all of these different groups and splinters via the original group - the Mujahideen

So do diplomats who volunteer to work in dangerous locations for the state department but that hasn't ever stood in the way of y'all claiming that Hilary Clinton killed Stevens


So, do the diplomats receive the same training as SEALS? If you libbies want to turn this in to a Benghazi discussion, then bring us the proof that the SEAL team asked for help and they were denied. Everybody knows what happened in Benghazi. This isn't even close to being the same thing.

Probably just as much as the 20-25 innocents killed along with the SEAL

Oh, I didn't mean to say his meetings weren't suspect, but he was where he needed to be for whatever he was supposed to do for the administration.

It's obvious the administration was trying to keep it under the radar. It's obvious the smoke billowing up as the reason looks to be true as well.

What's to elaborate?

The 20-25 innocents killed in the Yemen raid probably received just as much training as diplomats, which was most likely 0 to little training.

This is a pointless reply. Has nothing to do with the OP. I'll just stay on topic. Start a new thread if you want to discuss this.

YOU made the comparison to Benghazi, not me.

Nice try though.

I just love these bleeding heart type responses. It's war my friend, innocents die. It's sad, it's a waste but it's a reality of war.

You're exactly right.

Hopefully we won't need to have multiple hearing after hearing, costing Americans billions of dollars about it

Sorry for the loss, but for the Dad of the soldier to refuse to meet with President Trump, all of his demands hold no weight. If he in fact wanted answers, meet with the man and stop all of this whining in the media and playing to their agenda...
