dissing Trump in public? Is there a connection. This parade cancellation was quite sudden and I do not think, it was only the very much increased price tag. My guess is that maybe.............the Admiral was doing some talking behind the scenes. Just thinking about these two events.
PS--just saw a tweet---Trump Claiming he cancelled the parade because of the cost. I do not believe him. NOPE

Trump gets kicked in the teeth by Bill McRaven, the Navy admiral who oversaw the bin Laden operation. Ouch. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/revoke-my-security-clearance-too-mr-president/2018/08/16/8b149b02-a178-11e8-93e3-24d1703d2a7a_story.html?utm_term=.2598e0414f3e

Admiral William McRaven, who oversaw the raid to kill Osama bin Laden, has a few choice words for @realDonaldTrump:
Youve embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation.

(1,076 posts)When I heard what the Admiral said, followed by the letter of support from our other intelligence professionals, my thought went immediately to "there is dissatisfaction in the ranks".
I read a lot of commentary and have picked and retained those various items. Then, the actions of Mr Trump speak to me, he is a Russian agent. He's been greased up since the mid 80s.
I would like to see him in full disgrace, an orange jump suit and bracelets.
We must remember all of the US military that died during the cold war. Russia is not our friend and must be kept at arms length.
