    Exclamation A Message To Trump From The Guy Who Caught bin Laden

    Oh snap!

    Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President

    By William H. McRaven



    August 16 at 2:44 PM

    William H. McRaven, a retired Navy admiral, was commander of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command from 2011 to 2014. He oversaw the 2011 Navy SEAL raid in Pakistan that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

    Dear Mr. President:
    Former CIA director John Brennan, whose security clearance you revokedon Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him.
    Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency.
    Like most Americans, I had hoped that when you became president, you would rise to the occasion and become the leader this great nation needs.
    A good leader tries to embody the best qualities of his or her organization. A good leader sets the example for others to follow. A good leader always puts the welfare of others before himself or herself.

    Your leadership, however, has shown little of these qualities. Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation.
    If you think for a moment that your McCarthy-era tactics will suppress the voices of criticism, you are sadly mistaken. The criticism will continue until you become the leader we prayed you would be.

    *is one of the finest public servants I have ever known* .............. Seriously McRaven ?? the man that spied on Senate staffers is one of the finest public servants you know, you really need to get out more. Sad
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    McRaven is a glorified death squad chieftain who oversaw a systematic campaign of terrorism against Afghan civilians.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.
