Okay I will take your words for it. As a civilian, I learned my lesson a long time ago, praising one special force and say they are that good, or better is a big no no.

I am a Marine Corps girl, (means that to me, me being the keyword, Marines are the best to ME (me being the keyword) so this is it. Just my own bias, and I am not interested in debating anybody about this.

I think the truth is that ,there is no "the best." If they can do their job, they can do their jobs. Period. No need to glorify any of them.

I'm sure you label me left and I have made several comments noting how ridiculous the claim was.

some on the left is not the left.

Same way some of those on the right (white supremacists) aren't all the right.

It's just silly to keep making sweeping generalizations.

I understand many people don't like Trump, but this is not helping. Treating audiences like retards is a turn off to a lot of people. Media should stop insulting people's intelligence.

If you are that concerned about your identity being revealed -- you take NO pictures -- especially with a White House communications committee standing before you.

AND the SEAL organization would have clearly made sure no photographer was allowed.

I knew someone whose husband had a job she rarely would give details of. The answers about their travels, his job were all very vague.

She would take NO pictures at all. NEVER -- even in a private home with a few friends. She never let her picture be taken. NOTHING......for nobody.

I know she wasn't some SEAL but we suspected that they were suppose to be on the down low for whatever reason.

That's how you stop your picture form being posted to social media.

It isn't the poster that is incompetent if you allow that to happen.

It just isn't.

When I saw your name as the latest commenter after I posed what I did, I just knew you were going to say this.

Some individuals who are lefties may actually be veterans, or actually do support our military, but as a whole, the left does not support the military, and the media pretends on certain days that they do, while other days they show how much they hate the military.

Would you like me to include that disclaimer each time?

IMO, the blame is squarely on the military officers coordinating the visit and the white house communications.
Yes, Trump’s handlers who have never seemed like they know what they are doing, and the Army officers who handle this stuff bear part of the blame. I suspect they never imagined Trump would suggest taking photos.

Trump also described the security precautions taken in transporting him over there. He is the same clueless guy he was the day after inauguration when he blabbed to foreign powers state secrets.

He seems incapable of learning new behaviors.

You suspect? PAO goes everywhere in these instances, and obviously they have stated everything is fine. Even the initial story was retracted by the same news organization, and said..oppsss sorry....it's all good...


So, I suspect you are pushing a lie, just because you hate trump...noting more, nothing less....

Trump is the Commander in Chief and has the authority to 'out' anyone he wants. The dichotomy is he is too stupid to understand the ramifications of his actions and what it may mean to those 'outed'. It pretty much sums up Trump. Too much political power and too little brain power.

He outed them because he either doesn't get it, or he just doesn't care what happens to those guys.
