Ret. Navy Admiral to Trump: ‘I Would Consider It an Honor if You Would Revoke My Security Clearance’
![]()
a Washington Post op-ed Thursday afternoon. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him."
ADVERTISING
McRaven gave 37 years of his life to the Navy before retiring in 2014 with the honor of being the longest serving Navy SEAL to still be on duty.
"Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency," McRaven continues.
Admiral McRaven also served as the first director of the NATO Special Operations Forces Coordination Centre (NSCC), and ninth commander of the United States Special Operations Command, and just retired as chancellor of the University of Texas System.
"Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation," the Admiral continues. "If you think for a moment that your McCarthy-era tactics will suppress the voices of criticism, you are sadly mistaken."
The Post includes this short clip of McRaven calling Trump's attack on the free press as "the enemy of the American people," possibly "the greatest threat to democracy" in his lifetime.
Please add Comey Mueller Rosenstein ,,all repubs btw All real Americans Very few left in Republican partyMcRaven is right. Trump has dragged our country through the mud and not only humiliated this country but frayed its alliances and weakened us around the world.
All these weak-kneed weak-minded Trumpers who support bone spurs over true American patriots show just how pathetic they are.
If Trump were in the military he would be relegated to Latrine duty.
I'll tell you what Trumpettes, you can fight along side of Trump and his band of morally decayed losers and I will take McCain, McRaven and Brennan.
Also a BS oneA Hole Alert is the new button that USMB needs.He's retired, he doesn't need clearance, revoke it
Trump made a banana republic kind of move.....Stifle free speech?? Trump is slimeRet. Navy Admiral to Trump: ‘I Would Consider It an Honor if You Would Revoke My Security Clearance’

No retired anybody needs a security clearance unless they are still performing a duty to the Govt.

Having a security clearance revoked isn't stifling free speech you dumbass.
You can say whatever you want even if you do have a security clearance. You just can't talk about what you learned using that clearance.
Jesus are you stupid.
