In the interest of fairness here’s a piece in The Atlantic arguing that Trump shouldn’t be blamed for Yemen.
This raid, according to The New York Times, was approved by and recommended to the president by his secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. For the recommendation to have gone forward to the president, the senior leadership of the Department of Defense would have signed off on this operation. And for that to have happened, special operations and regional U.S. commanders would have had to have blessed the planning that went into the operation itself.
The left cannot on the one hand claim Donald Trump is ignorant of military and security affairs, and then on the other hand expect him to second-guess the professional recommendations of his uniformed and civilian military leadership.
Then again, he also goes on to defend Hillary for Benghazi, so maybe no one will agree with this article.
I say this will all due respect, no argument intended. I argued this exact point a few pages back and it didn’t fly with anyone. As for Hillary Clinton and Benghazi, I cannot say with 100% certainty, but with my military experience I can say that she did not head the Department of State well enough to save Christopher Stevens and the others who died at Benghazi. I believe if she was more on top of things, she could have.
