oh wait. ok yep makes sense now.
Let's go through the actual situation. Let's say you are correct in the assessment that no good intelligence was gathered by the raid, and we lost a guy in the process. Who, actually, is to blame for that, and why does that somehow make a difference in the death that occurred? Especially so in terms of the widow?
The man was doing his ****ing job and he died in the process of it. It wasn't his call and I don't think a single person thinks anyone purposefully sent a special forces team on a raid simply to waste their time, correct?
So even if a mistake was made, and there's no way to tell if it even was a mistake, what good comes out of saying so? They made a decision and they went with it. Sometimes that doesn't work out, as anyone here who has ever had to make a hard call knows. You make the best decision you can at the time with the information available.
What good comes out of creating an atmosphere where the person's family feels as if they may have died in vain? It's downright insulting. The men fighting and putting their lives on the line do it without question and they are more than willing to carry out orders that are deemed necessary. You think they don't know that sometimes the results aren't optimal?
I really wonder about you people sometimes. Do you ever stop and think about these topics you spew about?
Should Trump have said "too bad your husband died for nothing, lol. Thanks Obama."?
I really question the motives for posts like yours. They never want to lose a guy like that and I'm sure there's some real heartache behind the scenes, by the people who made the call, over his death. Those men bleed country and people like you sit back and criticize like children after the fact. You'll pump your fist chanting USA when they take out Osama but when there's a mistake somewhere all you do is bitch.
You sitting here taking a cheap shot over it because you want to trash Trump is kind of despicable.
