Bin Laden raid chief Adm. McRaven slams Trump and claims 'may be time for new President'
https://americanmilitarynews.com/2019/10/bin-laden-raid-chief-adm-mcraven-slams-trump-and-claims-may-be-time-for-new-president/?fbclid=IwAR3Z2jbq9lG7Um8sHvNxmTr6m5tNvxC7Ef4tXY9SWRirfl44Hnq7k82C6JoRetired US Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven released another op-ed criticizing President Donald Trump, this time over the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria.
Titled “Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President,” McRaven’s New York Times op-ed claims America is veering away from its steadfast values, bringing uncertainty to the future of the nation and its allies abroad, and claiming Trump is at fault.
“President Trump seems to believe that these qualities are unimportant or show weakness. He is wrong,” McRaven wrote.
“These are the virtues that have sustained this nation for the past 243 years. If we hope to continue to lead the world and inspire a new generation of young men and women to our cause, then we must embrace these values now more than ever,” he continued.
“And if this president doesn’t understand their importance, if this president doesn’t demonstrate the leadership that America needs, both domestically and abroad, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office — Republican, Democrat or independent — the sooner, the better. The fate of our Republic depends upon it,” McRaven wrote.
