According to Reuters, U.S. military officials said, with little or no intel, Trump sent Navy Seals into Yemen and everything that could go wrong did.
In the end three al Qaeda leaders were dead and also Chief Petty Officer, William “Ryan” Owen of Seal Team 6. An 8 year old girl born in the U.S. whose father was an al Qaeda leader was also killed. There were allegations that several civilians were killed in the melee.
The seal team found themselves dropping into a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.
Is this how Trump plans to use our greatest assets in the military by blindly sending them into harms way without a proper recon mission. Will he learn from his mistakes? Trump’s ego tells him he is perfect and he does not need intelligence briefings because he knows more than the CIA and his Generals, so it’s doubtful. He’ll shift the blame to someone else rather than commit the unpardonable sin of admitting he was wrong. He’s too busy alienating our allies.
That’s my opinion and you’re stuck with it.
