Well of course. He thinks he "knows more than the Generals do".
I guarantee he doesn't even know the difference between Sunnis and Shiates.

Interesting comment to make. However, maybe we should ask if you know the difference between the Shiates and the Sunnis. Or maybe a more difficult question, do you know the difference between Eastern and Western Christianity? Or maybe something a little closer in time the difference between Western Orthodox and Protestantism?

SP5 Christine Conley - That is not what he said. He never place blame. He said he signed the order based on the input of "respected generals". Fox News did not say he blamed the generals, and even military times said "it appears".

I file this under "Sh*t Happens." The military is a dangerous job and SOF is even more dangerous than other careers. Folks die during war.
I would not blame Trump or the "generals" or anyone else. It seems like a successful mission, despite the tragic loss of a Navy SEAL.

Risk must be assumed and I don't have an issue with that. I do have a problem with the lack of ownership. On a grander scale, JFK didn't get a pass on the Bay of Pigs just because it was planned under Ike. DJT put his name on it, so to him go both the spoils and the losses.
