Ahhhh so that’s why we have to take our shoes off at the airport! I’ve always wondered who in the world thought of it. 🤣

Why don’t you run for President admiral?

Really, this Admiral in the Navy who did nothing to push against military social experiments. The guy did nothing to combat Russia annex of Crimea, did nothing to push Obama to keep patrolling the waters of China (despite UN, china claim they own). What did he do? NOTHING!!!

Apparently you can’t spot integrity a mile away . The greatest example of having no integrity is in the WHITE HOUSE !!!!

He is a disgrace to our country

Just downloaded book on Audible

Admiral William McRaven would make a wonderful President 2020

Idea for movie ~ Admiral McRaven and his team of Navy Seals in charge of boot camp for realDonaldTrump, his entire administration, and DonaldJTrumpJr

Your COMMUNISTIC-SUPPORTIVE POLITICAL ASSERTIONS sound great with an ARTICULATE DEEP COMMANDING VOICE. But, mean nothing, as GEN. PATTON TAUGHT. WWII'S GENERAL PATTON saved my dad's life at ESSOYES, FRANCE as only survivor in suicide-run after FDR CUT-OFF PATTON'S 3RD ARMY S.O.P.

... Social Media is ONLY POSSIBLE WAY TO FIGHT DEMOCRATS WHO I KNOW TEACH REPUBLICANS WON'T FIGHT BACK, made Bradley County TN Dem Party Co-Chairman '72 & '76 by TIPPER GORE and AL, Jr.. Tipper wanting her views told diff' Al Gore in opposing using/misusing BARACK OBAMA as stooge

Admiral McRaven, Donald Trump named me by name in May 2011 to Sean Hannity at great-length as the very last subject of his not running, 2012. May 2016, began with Hannity in specifically extending those comments on my advice. I advised thru Training by Al Gore to use SOCIAL MEDIA

He’s has no critical thinking skills. If he supports HillaryClinton after knowing what’s she done. I don’t care if he’s Arty Murphy, I’ve lost respect for him because he has none for our nation.

Bought and owned by Rothschild cabal

I just ordered my book from amazon to be delivered on Tuesday looking forward to reading a book from one of US greatest heroes

That’s GOP plan from beginning. Evil division vs. unity for good. McConnell, Trump and others don’t deny it.

thanjs for steping up to the plate Amiral !

Cool.. this dude I saw on the side of the road said Trump sucks .. that is just a much news as this garbage .. seeking out “news” stories with one perspective is groundbreaking USA Today.. Bravo

Old story. Interesting you bring it up again. As a vet I appreciate his service, but as a human I don’t appreciate his ignorance. I don’t appreciate the pass he gives to Obama’s acts. His position really makes me question his judgement.

You are blind and out of touch Admiral. How can you not see the corruption when the FBI uses a phoney rag as evidence to spy on an opposition candidate, and then try to destroy our president with it. You are either blind and stupid or somebody has something on you McRaven

Disgraceful. He’s got no problem with corruption in govt. The problem is the uncouth outsider questioning our institutions.

McRaven says we should have faith and trust in the Gov't. I guess he never read a book about the FBI under J Edgar. Shut your mouth and collect you retirement check before you become the next Wesley Clark.

Your own coverage says he never mentions Trump by name in the book. Seems like something you might want to proactively reconcile with the wording of this tweet. media

All to sell his book.

Earlier this week, former FBI general counsel James Baker said he and other officials were 'quite worried' that it could look like Comey was trying to blackmail Trump...I guess usa today and mcraven thinks this is ok?

So the Admiral thinks we should let these rouge unelected FBI types do whatever they please.

The BIGGEST THREAT to Democracy and the United States is the Democrats ANTICHRIST AGENDA and their lies and deception.

This is the same McRaven that covers up illegal actions and favoritism/cronyism at the University of TX. BTW: Admiral, I didn't see you standing up for the SEALS that were charged by Obama admin for doing their job!!!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Agree

realDonaldTrump GOP Sounds like a good, respectable, smart American !! Need more like him. BenedictDonaldTrump SHAMEONREPUBLICANS .

So Illegal unconstitutional wars by Obama are no concern to militaristic national-security snobs like McRaven. It is President Trumps mean words that hurt the baby Adminral’s whittle feelings. PATHETIC

Another Dem candidate in the wings?

.realDonaldTrump is remaking America in his own image & rallying support to round up perceived enemies. Sound familiar? FactsMatter FridayFeeling nytimes AC360

Oh look another 'expert' claiming things using his military background as some sort of qualifier to berate another person and call him names. This 'legendary' seal is an abomibation becuase he is the real threat to democracy. Using his authority to create moral outrage.

Unbelievable. How did you survive? TDS gets you killed in battle. “An attack on the press or an attack on the Department of Justice, or to imply that there are dirty cops at the FBI” Hey Seal, your press is as corrupt as Pravda. Your FBI staged a failed coup. Seal Disgrace.

All the criminals are getting DESPERATE huh? The walls are caving in quickly and they are coming out of the woodwork to save themselves- should be fun to watch them all go to jail

LOL!!!! We all know its the Media!! spreading lies!!!

I GUESS, ONCE WE FIND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT 911 AND THE HOAX ABOUT OSAMA BIN LADEN....HE'LL (THE ADMIRAL) BE IMPLICATED ALSO.....THE TRUTH DEFINITELY CHANGES YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

This man has more character and integrity in his pinky fingernail than the whole Trump family combined. No wonder Trump hates him.

He is/was absolutely correct.

Too bad Admiral McRaven’s not running.

Trump lawyers, Barr argue Trump can't be investigated, prosecutedRachel Maddow reports on arguments put forth by Trump lawyers, White House counsel, and A.G. William Barr that Congress cannot investigate the president for crimes, nor can a president be charged, essentially making the legal argument for Donald Trump proverbially shooting someone on 5th Avenue. Barr and trump's lawyer is the same person ah OK, so we have a king after all. Didn't know that (Because it's bullshit) 'Rule of Law' Republicans, my big ol' white butt.
