    It is condemning when members of your team have such harsh words to say. Trump should not have gotten himself involved in a Navy only matter.

    Exactly.

    Yet another PATHETIC (And, Completely Foreseeable) CONSEQUENCE of giving a TREASONOUS America-Hating DRAFT-DODGER the "Rank" of Commander in Chief.

    Amateur hour all the way.

    First off, taking my post out of context to fit a narrative is typical of the left. I didn’t post
    I posted

    Secondly, I specifically posted heroin statistics and not opioids as a whole as you referred to as to show the timeline and direct consequences of Sheriff Arpaio leaving office and the drugs migration from Mexico to overtaking America.

    So what does heroin deaths and your dislike of Latinos have to do with the fact that Trump pardoned a war criminal and conservatives are happy about it?

    The WaPo, NYT, CNN are not easily misled. They are just professional liars working for other professional liars. Fake News is the product they sell to their eager consumers.

    "In a new interview with The Washington Post's Tom Hamburger and Rosalind S. Helderman, Davis is backing off two massive claims he made in recent weeks, including that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen has told people he witnessed President Donald Trump being informed of Donald Trump Jr.'s 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer before it happened.
    "I should have been more clear - including with you - that I could not independently confirm what happened," Davis said, adding: "I regret my error."
    Davis also backed off his claim that Cohen has information suggesting that Trump knew in advance about Russian hacking of Democrats' emails in 2016.
    "I am not sure," he said. "There's a possibility that is the case. But I am not sure."

    the far right never misses an opportunity to make our military look bad, Trump even attacks gold star families and war heroes, abandons are allies, sides with Russia, the list goes on and on

    :bored:

    Yeah. We ALREADY Know.

    You posted (essentially) the EXACT Same Thing (less then 2 hours ago) in Post #100:

    ^Is there an Echo in here?:bored:

    And, in any event, both those posts (the Initial one and the Repetitive/Redundant one) are WAY Off-Topic in a thread about Gallagher and the SEALS.

    Now, back ON-Topic, I am glad to see that these Courageous Colleagues saw fit to brand Gallagher as the Murderer (that he is).:flagus:

    Very sad that Trump got involved.:smh:

    LOL! Fake News is the subject.
    Gallagher was found innocent and the NYT/CNN/MSM have been exposed agains Fake News sources. So, why does Trump's opposition still pretend to believe the MSM? It's not good for their credibility thingy. ;-)

    "Former CIA and FBI official Phil Mudd (now a CNN counterterror analyst) debates CNN in-house Trump supporter Paris Dennard about the revocation of John Brennan's security clearance. When Dennard suggested that it is an open secret in D.C. that people who have high-level security clearance get higher-paying consulting jobs (fact check: true), Mudd yelled so loudly that he caused the microphone to reverberate and crackle.

    The epic confrontation took place on Friday's Anderson Cooper 360 (with substitute host Jim Sciutto).

    "Everybody in Washington, D.C. knows -- if you don't want to be honest about it, that's on you, but if you have a security clearance and you keep it, you get more money," Dennard said after Mudd asked: "Who are you talking about? Are you talking General Hayden?"

    How in the hell did you conclude I dislike Latinos? Your thinking and deductive reasoning are lacking basic skills. Just because a person posts facts of a particular race does not mean they’re racist.

    It is a known fact that 90% of the heroin in this country comes through our southern border. It is a known fact that Sheriff Arpaio was successfully hampering the success of heroin coming through our southern border by questioning and detaining suspicious Latinos. It is a known fact that Arpaio was charged with contempt of court back in ‘13 and ceased the hampering of heroin smuggling which in turn escalated heroin deaths 1000% in just 3 years. Now, what the hell is racist about the above statement? I posted facts, which the left will never do. Facts don’t care about your feelings.

    We're supposed to believe it isn't this lone navy seal who is evil, but rather the many navy seals who reported this individual, and the many military authorities who convicted him... and yet we're being told that this is a pro military position, and the former is anti-military?

    Get real

    No kidding, but he over-reached here. The guy was acquited on the more serious charge, but Trump stuck his nose where it shouldn't be. He may think he knows more than the generals and admirals, but he is only kidding himself.

    LOL, the left loves and applauds less decorated military members if they testify against Trump but hate highly decorated soldiers accused of sharing a picture.

    They may. Doesn’t really have anything to do with me though

    Just being in the military doesn’t absolve one of being an *******.

    Have our generals and admirals managed to win a final victory over any enemy since 1945?

    Yet nobody said anything in the previous seven? Seriously, either there were red flags or this is a false flag. Either way, not sure how this is actually national news. There are far bigger issues in this nation...

    How about gang members? They kill more Americans every year than the wars did over the past decade. Why is it that you folks seem to focus on strange things like our military when there are vastly more killers on our streets in your liberal hell hole cities? You liberal folks make no sense to me...

    You mean they didn't defeat Iraq twice, Kosovo, etc. WWII is not the same war as the others also.

    That said, which has nothing to do with this incident, Trump is not smarter in military that any general or admiral.

    1. We are still in Iraq and taking casualties. There was no final victory.
    2. Kosovo installed a base for radical Islam in EU. Who won that war?
    3. Korea
    4. Vietnam ...

    "This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence—economic, political, even spiritual—is felt in every city, every statehouse, every office of the federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together. [emphasis added]" President of the United States (and five-star general during World War II) Dwight D. Eisenhower from his Farewell Address to the Nation on January 17, 1961.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military–industrial_complex

    Ordinary Americans should never trust the military brass to do the right thing for America without the careful supervision and guidance of an elected Commander in Chief.

    Well they did successfully invade the island of Grenada back in the Reagan days. And of course they successfully captured Manuel Noriega in Panama. ;-)
