Cue a Trumplethinskin Twitter attack on the poor guy.

“I’m sorry; I don’t want to see him,” Mr. Owens recalled telling a chaplain who had informed him that Mr. Trump was on his way from Washington. “I told them I don’t want to meet the president.”

“I told them I didn’t want to make a scene about it, but my conscience wouldn’t let me talk to him,” Mr. Owens said in the interview, which The Herald said took place on Friday at Mr. Owens’s home in Lauderdale-by-the Sea, Fla.

“Why at this time did there have to be this stupid mission when it wasn’t even barely a week into his administration? Why?” said Mr. Owens, who told The Herald that he had not voted for Mr. Trump. “For two years prior, there were no boots on the ground in Yemen — everything was missiles and drones — because there was not a target worth one American life. Now all of a sudden we had to make this grand display?”

Sad, the father is distraught. Son signed up for dangerous duty. The previous admin was risked adverse. Human Intelligence is something that has been lacking for the last 8 years. Having lost a child, I feel for him. Seal candidates die during training.

It was an uneccessary mission hastily executed as a political stunt to appease his supporters. The Slain heros Father is upset that Trump refused an investigation saying it would dishonor the fallen Seal. The Seals Father said **** you, investigate. He also mentioned Trumps disgusting treatment of the Gold Star family.

Is that the word on the bubble? Sounds like politically motivated BS. Seals on a hastily planned mission? Doubt it.

Pretty sure that plan had been worked on for the last two months, started under Obama. No seal goes into a hastily drawn up plan. He signed up for hazardous missions when he became a seal. The father isn't a Trump supporter and his actions are politically motivated. Just like the Gold star's dad was paid and given everything to use as props. Trump should have stayed away from the Gold star, not taken the bait. I'm glad we are returning to trying to get live human intel. It's worth it. Pretty sure the son who not be proud of his dad.
