Owens’ father, Bill, had learned only a short time before the ceremony that Trump was coming. Owens was sitting with his wife, Marie, and other family members in the solemn, living room-like space where the loved ones of the fallen assemble before they are taken to the flight line.
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to see him,’’ Owens recalled telling the chaplain who informed him that Trump was on his way from Washington. “I told them I don’t want to meet the President.”
Will there be an investigation?
I feel bad for his family, they did not deserve to lose their son to Trump's inflated ego.
Trump showed off and casually ordered the strike while stuffing his fat face. His ego is vastly bigger than his brain and he has not a drop of empathy in his entire body
Think he'll tweet out something rude about this guy? He doesn't seem to mind insulting parents of military personnel killed in the line of duty (despite his own 5 deferments).
So, for TWO years the Commander in Chief did not order ground actions in Yemen because there were no targets worthy of losing an American. Then Mr. General-Wanna-Be tRump is in charge for a week, and he orders a raid that results in an American death in vain.
Great. Hope all you trumpholes are happy to hear this news. Shame.
This mission was initiated and planned under the Obama administration. What do you say now?

Obama rejected the plan. Trump approved the outdated & months old plan. This is on Trump.
What next? Attack North Korea and blame any failure on Truman's plan?

This kind of information one way or the other does not get released.
The mission was approved under the Obama administration, the decision was made to wait until a moonless night.

President Barack Obama’s national security aides had reviewed the plans for a risky attack on a small, heavily guarded brick home of a senior Qaeda collaborator in a mountainous village in a remote part of central Yemen. But Mr. Obama did not act because the Pentagon wanted to launch the attack on a moonless night and the next one would come after his term had ended.

Thank you!
If this happened had happened under Clinton, Trump supporters would be screaming for an investigation, yet because it's Trump they want to shrug it off and move on. My deepest condolences to the Owens family.
