Deaths of soldiers will always be used to further political agendas.

It has been that way for ages (Cindy Sheehan anyone?).

Shoulda coulda woulda. The worst decision is no decision. President Trump made his decision, and deaths are a fact of life in war and secret operations against a deadly enemy.

Damn Yemen for attacking us.

Not as much as Obama to Bush. I'm really surprised that the Bush family remains a class act toward Obama and his wife.

However the son chose to go into the military and went into what is a very respected but also highly dangerous team. The father who is a military man himself seems to not acknowledge the risk of what his son was involved in.

Not exactly the days of Vietnam where young men were sent to fight in a situation they had no choice in. I could see someone not wanting than President Nixon at the ceremony.

Nobody likes to hear about a police officer killed on the job, but let's be real it's less shocking than hearing about an accountant being shot dead.

Except that Pres. Obama DID inherit a mess. That is not even up for debate, it's a fact.

However, to Trumpers, you all rely on "alternative facts", so it's no surprise this is news to you.

I am sorry for the loss of his son and he is grieving which leads to lashing out. But as a SEAL his son knew the risks of his job as they all do. This mission appeared to have been planned before Trump who relies on his WELL qualified military advisers he has chosen. Had Obama done the same we might not be in the mess we are in with so many terrorist hot spots to combat now.

There should be an investigation on who leaked
Al-Qaeda Fighters in Yemen Seemed Ready for SEAL Raid: Source - ABC News
"According to the source, it was clear that the AQAP fighters in the compound knew the Americans were coming and engaged them with heavy weapons."

The father is acknowledging what others have already acknowledged:
The RISK is tRump. He is not capable of being Commander in Chief.
