I'm sure they were speaking for the civilian (far left liberal) leadership, and not for the patriotic mainstream in the Navy. As for the SEALs, it's a good thing they finally got the order. I don't want to imagine how rough it would be to have been a SEAL with a clear shot waiting for orders from the druggie in our White House and never get those orders, especially if the captain was later killed.
I completely agree. I think it was an admiral. I think he used the term “unfortunate.”
