Father of SEAL killed in Yemen raid spurned meeting with Trump, wants answers | Miami Herald

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?

There should be an investigation, based on this statement from the father alone:

“Why at this time did there have to be this stupid mission when it wasn’t even barely a week into his administration? Why? For two years prior, there were no boots on the ground in Yemen — everything was missiles and drones — because there was not a target worth one American life. Now, all of a sudden we had to make this grand display?’’

On the one hand he wants answers but he doesn't want to meet the president.

Weird. But then again I could understand a father wanting answers if he was kept in the dark about his son's secretive job.

I don't blame him. He is hurting.

Really!!!????


How about that isis, is the jv team!


Do you think the intel agnecies told obama to say isis was the jv team or was it valerie jarrett??? No, that wasn't a lie!


What about the guys who were killed at benghazi and being told it was a video and hillary esentially saying the families lied about their conversation with her. The perps location known to news agencies but not to obama's intell agencies. No lie there. Well maybe just to fit the narrative obama was big on terror and the 'world is a more traquil place', because of obama's ME policies. Lies to get re-elected.


where was the investigation after the seal team went down under suspicious circumstances?????


"Families of Navy SEALs killed in 2011 attack say government is to blame"

Should have known any thread casting doubt on trump would turn into an Obama thread. Can you guys ever focus on the issue at hand?

Good for him. Trump is not qualified to be Commander in Chief. His son's death is a result of Trump being in WAY over his head.

Now we wait for Trump to diss Mr. Owens just as he dissed the Kahn's. That's coming. Trump has illustrated he has no respect for Gold Star families who find their voice and call him out.

There have been boots on the ground before Trump became president.

That doesn't mean that we all don't deserve answers for these stupid wars.
