Just think if trump had known about that, at the time.

Especially about those who gave their lives in battle. But it's not the TFG worries about what anyone thinks about his harmful utterings.

for those that remember, he was asst sec def for jsoc, and was pushed out by trump flunkie john rood.
my thread about him here-
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214554773
havent seen him lately, and he's usually tight lipped. but man, hoping he's ready to spill some tea.
he was thinking about writing a book now that he is retired. but i suspect it would be stories about how his unit supplied the hail mary pass in gulf war 1.
it kills me to think about how many decent civil servants we lost in the last 4 yrs.
