Comfortably Moderate
Here's the guy who's Commander-in-Chief, who is totally unaware about anything military. And he is making strategic military decisions
==================================================
But Newsweek reports that we may, indeed, still suck. In the pool report of the trip — which was embargoed to help protect the Trumps’ safety in Iraq — the president asked the chaplain of Seal Team Five, Lieutenant Commander Kyu Lee, to take a picture with him, revealing the presence of the special ops team at the al-Asad Airbase in western Iraq. When Trump left Iraqi airspace, he posted a video in which he and the First Lady pause for photos with members of Seal Team Five, decked in full battle gear and night vision goggles.
As president, it is technically within Trump’s job description to declassify that sort of information, but it does violate protocol designed to keep secret locations of special forces secret. “The deployments of special operation forces, including Navy SEALs are almost classified events, as to protect those men and women that are on the front lines of every overt and covert conflict the United States is involved in,” a Defense Department official told Newsweek. “Even during special operation demonstrations for congressional delegations or for the president or vice president, personnel either have their faces covered or their face is digitally blurred prior to a release to the general public.”
Trump Accidentally Exposes the Location, Identities of U.S. Navy Seal Team Five
This what happens, you get a draft dodging President, who needs some kind of PR lift, as his world is crumbling, around him. He does something stupid and endangers our Special Ops and their missions, all for political gain.
Nice move, Dotard!
