This is a pretty good way to lose support of the Military.
I agree he should take responsibility. But lets be honest here: The Left is bringing this up purely as a tool to club Trump with. They don't really give a damn about the death of the SEAL... they just see an opportunity to politicize this and so they jump on it.

And what, exactly, does the Left expect Trump to do? The Pentagon is already investigating this.

I served 8 years and he still has my support.

Did you whine about the never-ending Benghazi club that was used to beat Hillary Clinton with for four years, while conservatives pretended to care about the four dead Americans?

Yeah, didn't think so...

Yemen SEAL Raid Has Yielded No Significant Intelligence: Officials - NBC News
That article states:

Not that it matters to you. You're just looking for new and exciting ways to urinate on the president by politicizing this matter.

Trying to blame his generals for an mission he alone had the power to authorize.

A mission the previous administration rejected because it was too risky. A mission that yielded nothing in the way of useful intel.

Trump is a national disgrace.
All they ended up doing was murdering some women and children, missing the target of the raid and getting a SEAL killed.

Obama didn't press go because of the lack of intelligence. Trump pressed go because "Obama didn't do it durrr". Trump failed here.

Trump is a national disgrace.
Three lies in a row. It's sad that people like you post this stuff and the gullible will believe it.

1) The mission was authorized under the Obama admin.
2) They did not reject the mission for being too risky. The generals told Obama they did not want to execute their plan, that he authorized until the next moonless night. That night did not fall until Trump had taken office.
3) General Mattis says they got lots of useful intel from the raid. This is you saying they didn't, versus a general saying they did. You lose.

The intelligence obtained in this mission could have been gleaned by a hacker working from his parent's basement in Minneapolis.

The stories of American soldiers shooting women and children as they ran from their homes will travel around the Mideast for years to come.

Trump's generals are the most respected in decades?

Where did he find these generals that haven't been around in decades. Have there been a bunch of promotions lately? Did he bring them over from Russia?

The Department of Defense is headed by a Trump appointee.
