Insulting Congresswoman Wilson (she wears false eyelashes and flashy hats) and carrying on about how inappropriate it was for her to speak to the press about Trump's disrespectful phone call is pure nonsense. The family is fine with her talking about it and they're the ones that matter.
If Trump had any decency, it never would have gotten to this point. But that ship has sailed.

If tRump had three brain cells capable of firing simultaneously, he could have defused this entire thing in minutes.
As soon as he heard that the widow and family felt slighted, he could have made a second call explaining that he's sorry his meaning wasn't clear and that Sgt Johnson's loss was deeply felt in the WH. But he's far too small to take the high road.
Instead, he just threw more lighter fluid on a small flame and fanned it into a bonfire.
Everyone else was evacuated. What part of that is difficult to comprehend?
Dept. of Defense said they tracked his locator beacon until it faded away. Anything about this hard to understand?
Why would ISIS fighters haul him around if he was already deceased? Sgt. Johnson was either trying to escape or captured and hauled around until his death.
It's been better than two weeks now. What the hell happened?
well, it is okay for you to ask all these questions, but nothing changed the fact that you have said
"They INTENTIONALLY left him behind" at least 4, 5 times. bold is really the keyword here. You at least have been pretty irresponsible when you made this accusation.
I am not going to pretend I am some kind of expert, but I know that,
Special Forces are not a special breed of pyjama wearing genetically enhanced superhumans. They are the absolute best at what they do but they’re still human.
Sometimes even just a handful of enemies can cause heavy casualties because things don’t always go right.
One article says that Sgt Johnson's unit was caught by surprise in an Isis ambush. One can never expect Rescue mission from an unknown hostile territory to be perfect.
I guess you don’t believe it’s important to show respect to gold star families.
Stay classy.
Respect like CNN did invite these Gold Star parents on still grieving hoping they could score a burn on Trump out of it? Gross. Itś not about a letter or phone call, it's about honoring those who did know what they signed up for, and that was to give their lives protecting this country from terrorists. They deserve a little respect. We should be ashamed using them as pawns in the hate Trump and America campaign. It doesn't really matter. Their child has died.
Lol. You usually do not use fighter pilots to rescue special forces on the ground.
Do you have any idea what you are talking about?
Fighter pilots are involved in rescue operations all the time. They fly low passes, provide air cover, drop bombs to disperse attackers, ... until the helicopters and ground forces can get there. Then they provide air support for the helicopters and ground forces.
In Niger, "French Mirage jets arrived overhead to fly low passes in an attempt to disperse the attackers." within about 30 minutes after the start of the firefight.
When we first heard about Benghazi, spouse was curious as to why fighters from Aviano Air Base in Italy were not scrambled to disperse the second wave of attackers. Fighters from the base used to sit alert at the boot of Italy where they would have been less than a half our away from Benghazi..
Turns out they no longer sit alert at this air station. But still, they could have been down from Aviano is two hours, which could have helped disperse the second wave. The attack lasted for hours but the fighters were never scrambled.
Fighter pilots are incredible and they live for such sorties.

well, maybe you should tell us the reasons why Green Berets intentionally left him behind.
That's what I'd like to know.
In between responding to your condescending nonsense, I've been listening to news reports and searching the web.
Found where Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie told reporters that US, French and Nigerien forces "never left the battlefield" until Johnson was found.
Matti's stated last week that, "This was a hard fight, this was a very tough fight," but provided few details.
Three officials who are supposedly in a position to have knowledge of how Mattis views the situation, reports that General Mattis wants some answers himself.
Hope my faith in Mattis isn't as misplaced as it was in Kelly.

And that is fine.
But you kept on saying
They intentionally left him behind

You must be a military special force expert. lol
