I can see why Trump rubs people the wrong way. But he hasn't done a bad job. It's been more than 2 years. Our economy is strong. (Yes, I know there are people having a hard time). But unemployment is low. GDP is positive. The FED, which has the worlds top economist, has enough faith in the economy to raise interest rates repeatedly. They were never raised even once under Obama. We are dialing down on wars. No, streets aren't lined in gold and Trump is obnoxious. But come on. Quit the constant complaining. We aren't having any major crisis in the last 2 years. No 911. No new wars. No recession. It's like some people just want to complain.

IMO, the blame is squarely on the military officers coordinating the visit and the white house communications.
Okay, your a civilian ... if you were a civilian and a POTUS, would you have to be told to keep your mouth shut about something like this?

hello ...

That picture would have never seen the light of day if they were members of a classified seal mission.

Just identifying the faces should never happen. Ever. No SF members should ever be identifiable.

Which area specifically? A secret location in Iraq? So what? He can do that if he wants. The troops love him.

You're trying way too hard. Desperation is a bad look for you.

Then why did any of the officers not mention they can’t take pictures or tell them not to release the ohotos? Are they not functional human beings?

It's "news" that there are Special Ops teams in Iraq? Really? Just how stupid do you have to be not to know that? Newsweek stupid?

As long as the people who would do them or their families harm buy into your theory I guess it's all dandy. Personally I don't believe it's worth the risk.

Don't count on the troops loving him. You know as well as I do that discussing the political situation inside the military is a no-no, but I know a number military (and ex-military) who are disgusted with Col. Bonespurs and his antics. Some are SF.
