Bill Owens, the father of the Navy SEAL killed in a late-January raid in Yemen, leveled biting criticism at the White House and called for an investigation into his son's death in a news story published Sunday...

Soros and his Alinskyites have likely wooed or blackmailed this guy...they have likely every elite soldier’s family info handy like a loaded shotgun under a bed. Their tools are that of the Sith.

IIRC, and correct me if I’m wrong, the mission was compromised and the team knew but decided to go ahead with it anyway.

Why is the story not about finding out how/why the mission was compromised?

When we enlist or receive our commission, we signed away our lives for the cause of these United States. Never was there any guarantee of surviving. Military life is replete with terminal actions based upon mundane operations, in fact, every time I sat in the Prowler I flew with the knowledge that at any given time, the bird was going to try and kill the crew. SEAL team ops carry an even greater chance of being killed and the teams thrive on that. They wear the derringer and trident as a badge of honor and take it with them to their graves.

I agree. The real war heroes during the Vietnam War were those POWs in Hanoi Hilton that died not selling out the USA. A war hero McCain is not. There are many people who serve in the military. They leave with Honorable discharges, other than honorable discharges and dishonorable discharges. Then there are some who leave in a casket. McCain put his life over everyone else’s life, country and God. This makes him less than a Hero - a coward. Many braver men died in Hanoi Hilton than McCain.

I do not like McCain and hate to use the source of factcheck.org but here is a quote about John loosing planes. This is in response to his quote overseas of loosing a plane is the sign of a bad mission.

http://www.factcheck.org/2008/09/mccains-plane-crashes/

“McCain did lose two Navy aircraft while piloting them. One crash was found to be be McCain’s fault, the other due to an engine failure of undetermined cause.. A third was destroyed on the deck of the carrier USS Forrestal when a missile fired accidentally from another plane hit either the plane next to McCain’s or, less likely, his own aircraft, triggering a disastrous fire that killed 134 sailors and nearly killed McCain. A fourth plane was lost when he was shot down over North Vietnam on a bombing mission over Hanoi.
A fifth alleged “crash” turns out to be a misinterpretation of a flight accident that did not result in the loss of the aircraft. McCain admitted to causing that incident through “daredevil clowning” but returned safely.”

Let McCain rant. His doddering, blind hatred of Trump has blinded him to just how unhinged sounds. He is quickly becoming the most hated man in DC.

As for the SEAL’s father, anyone notice how they aren’t quoting his wife? Methinks the MSM has found their new Cindy Sheehan.

There is an investigation into this. Some speculation I have heard were Obummer, McCain and the three mooslimes that were fired recently. If any or all of these are found out to be the culprit, we need to reinstitute the death penalty for traitors.

I guess D Day was a failure too, because many Americans died. McCain is a complete moron. Beyond that, he like GWB, is a bitter hater much more concerned about bringing down Trump than the truth.

Only journalist Leftwing activists who know NOTHING about military operations would suggest that the Trump administration, 8 days into office, was responsible for the details of how this mission was executed. That is just so stupid, it boggles the mind. If, and I am saying if, there was a screw up, that is on the Special Operations command and its subordinate units and the intelligence community. What on earth President Trump or Mad Dog was supposed to do about a plausible-sounding mission planned by the military before they took office and recommended by the generals completely eludes me.

The Seals I know never seek publicity and their families don’t even use Facebook for security reasons.

“The dad is a real POS. Being an active-duty Navy SEAL is inherently super dangerous. SEALs die all the time in helicopter, parachuting, diving and weapons training. He’s trading on his son’s death to get his 15 minutes of political notoriety. A real POS.”

Travis you are 100% correct.

100% leaked. The Bastards were waiting for them.

I’d like to see the leak found with a subsequent public hanging. There needs to be consequences again.

I have read several in depth articles on this incident and defective ordinance and make do adaptation of it seems to be the cause. McCain has also been vilified for running from the scene. As a non fire fighter without gear he was a liability and required to leave the area.

McCain is the swamp.

he gives the appearance of being in his position because of who he knew not his merit.

In office politics he would backstab the sick co-worker for the corner office, steal the idea for the promotion, and steal you watch while shaking your hand.

Cut the dad some slack, he is in an unimaginable amount of pain and grief right now.

However, if he starts this up in about a year or so ...
