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...

My apologies, I replied to the wrong comment.
The value of one American is far too precious to be sacrificed in Yemen, or any other place for that matter in our current military actions.
So McCain in Stokholm supydrome sides with self hate with the 60s revolution and against the Vietnam war, as demoralized by Hanoi radio.
He of course blames America for falling from his airplane... This is wephere McCain’s communist influence derangement comes from.
Hold on. If there are terrorists training, planning, launching attacks from a site in Yemen, what should be done?
McCain wants to blame the crash on A,erica going to Vietnam, heck, he probably is worse than Kerry, blaming his own wingman getting hit since his book covers that up.
Stokholm syndrome of a weak character. Bod Dole was similarly antiWWII blaming his maimed hand self consciousness on the war and jews.
As we were told when we raised our hands - “you’re making an oath that you are willing to die for your country - do you understand?”

But, more importantly, when did we declare War on Yemen? Terrorist can plan and train anywhere. They did that in Germany and Florida prior to 9/11.
Saudi Arabia and Iran are fighting over Yemen.
If the threat is that vast, then Saudi Arabia or another ME country can step up and save the world.
We've been sending in raids to capture terrorist, that has largely been noneffective. Sovereignty needs to be restored to countries, and borders developed to prevent the aid and support across countries. But, we don't have enough money in the treasury for that.
Terrorism is no different, we've killed thousands, and others fill the void. In order to prevent such things, you need law and order. You can't do that by destabilizing the ME.
If it takes dictators to hold the line, then so be it.
I agree. Strong men are ofttimes needed to keep the kooks under foot.
Couldn't agree more,TM. Grief from losing a son is to be respected but this father's reaction is much more than grief.
This guy attended with his new and improved wife. He divorced his wife for a new model. They did not attend the real family function to meet Trump.
This happens all the time in divorced families where dad abandons the family and gets omitted from family functions and associations.
He’s also a left wing Hillary fanboy. Shares her amoral ideology, I guess.
A grieving father, possibly even a grieving LIBERAL father gets a pass from me, as he is being used by evil forces.
I am confused. Wasn’t McCain offered release by the North Vietnamese if he would make a certain statement, and did he not decline the offer?
The only satisfaction that offers is that the next time, Germany gets to KEEP France!
Apparently Dad is the sort of guy who wishes his fallen son might have gone out serving a pantload like obama.
You grossly underestimate the significance of the country. The country borders one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes in the world on route to the Suez Canal in Egypt. Whilst the people may not be worth the vey life that was taken, the geographic significance of Yemen is of vital importance to the national security of the United States as most of the warships traverse these waters.
I glad Ryan’s widow took the opposite tack last night at the SOTU speech. I hope that shuts up the a-hole dad.
Amen...Classy on President Trumps part and Carryn Owens part.
