    Bill McRaven is the last American Hero. Tough and disciplined yet compassionate. He has a realistic view of the world supported by real experiences. He is a genuinely great man and a the best example of a leader. If you think this is what our president in 2020 should look like, please share this video.

    Sir, I agree all my literally every day and I worked with my Father at one of the big 3 for 23 years and even almost till the day he passed he would ask me if I remembered the Golden Rule. I would say yes and I would be required to recite " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" I really like the Muslim people to the point I always greet them in their native tongue.

    You cannot defeat an enemy by running away; Trumps idea of abandoning the battle against ISIS is dumb, naive and dangerous. America, listen to this because not only has he been there, but he commanded good fighters to engage them.

    While everyone wasting my Time I am over here wondering how I saw that native American girl in my car in detail mind you
    This is no joke to me
    I am not lieing
    I never lie
    Quit with the bullshit
    Because I have seen many more things after that
    Stop playing around
    I am sick of the games people are playing
    I am dead serious
    And I am a great person
    With a great heart
    And I am very intelligent
    I keep waiting
    I was curious why you did not sit with me and Kally at McDonalds restrauant
    Fuck the restrictions
    I am serious
    They told me to stop cursing
    I replied it's the only language people will take serious
    I tried speaking in a civil manner and was ignored
    Go figure
    I need to meet someone in the medical field that is willing to get to the quantum physics so we can see what is up
    May Intel a whole lot more than that
    We'll see

      Far far fewer than actual assaults that were dismissed, allowed and even condoned.
      To our great detriment, this society treats women as an afterthought.
      Shaming those who have been violated. As if they were the instigators, so they deserved it!
      When the first question Is Immediately to doubt their veracity, it shows great contempt for 51% of the population, not to mention that you are showing said contempt to the very people who give us life!
      That's fucking shameful!
      That woman is someone's daughter, sister, wife and perhaps mother!
      Now imagine someone Being so Disregarding and hateful towards Your aunt...sister...
      even your mother.

    He is clearly positioning himself for political office as a social liberal/centrist. Verbally attacking the current president was telling and unfortunate; even worse, right before he did this he talked about how military leaders must not undermine a sitting president, especially during a time of conflict. He is someone who paid all his dues in the Navy and stuck it out in tough conditions, even to the extent of sticking to the right thing when the right thing was not cool. He is a very good military leader--if this is not taken in the full sense of being able to win a war. You will notice that no American Generals or Admirals are hanging their heads low because of the defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan. No one has taken responsibility. Make no mistake, the United States has endured two humiliating defeats since 9-11, and the terrorists have multiplied, becoming more savvy and hardened.
    McRaven's first step into the political arena was awkward and very poorly advised. Attacking a sitting president while the country has troops in the field during armed conflict only makes the bad guys happy and disheartens the U.S. military. He should have known better, and in fact he did. Strangely, he has come out talking about human rights and the importance of diversity, highlighting the roles of Muslim women--all of this in the wake of the killfest in Afghanistan. According to several reliable news sources, no one's people have killed more innocent Muslim women anywhere (except Assad, etc.), even with impunity. It takes a lot of guts to shoot a pregnant woman. Picture bullets and grenade fragments hitting bodies in places short on local news, a fiasco in which he helped determine the outcome of America's epic loss in Afghanistan by galvanizing populations against the U.S.A. His remarks about President Trump and about Pakistani peace activists are bizarre, bordering on the grotesque. It can only be explained as an effort to garner support from the Left. Stay tuned folks because this is likely to get curiouser and curiouser.

      Any institution must be extremely careful whom to choose on its leadership group, as education seem to have a tendency for the human mind to eliminate its own body that supports it, and then takes enjoyment in living within its own disillusioned mind space titillating itself through public speeches and journalism or other propaganda meant to influence others to do a range of bodywork including serving as, kamikaze pilots, female suicide bombers and volunteers to do the physical work, where they claim full "apparent responsibilities" for other people's physical pains!, including apologies and tribal funeral ceremonial rituals.

      Trump is a fucking donut, megalomaniac and a luddite who can't take any criticism. Also plenty of retired high up military personnel criticised Bush during the Iraq war. And you don't have to have a political agenda to criticise Trump since theres so much to criticise about him. Pretty much everyone in the world thinks Trump is a joke.

      You are assuming a great deal.
      If you know anything about his backstory, If you have bothered to do your own due diligence ... You would understand the context Of his Thinking and actions.
      Ferfucksakes! Check your own cynicism and feigned outrage elsewhere!
      If you haven't I suggest that you watch videos of his speech that he gave to the University of Texas class of 2014, where he talks about making the world a better place and true leadership.
      Liberal indeed!
      Is everyone who disagrees with you people A leftist, A liberal???
      Y'all really need to get a fucking grip!
      Like it or not, This is a world of diversity!
      If you can't deal with change, it's understandable. We humans abhor change!
      But if it's progress that you fear ... well that's on you. I'm sorry that you're so ill-equipped for the world.

      I'm sorry that your parents and your educational system failed you.
      I'm sad that you fully dismiss and demonize that which you know nothing of.
      Malcontent in your little world?
      The unexamined life is a sick, seedy, shitty existence.
      It's your choice. But if you can't contain your vitriol, keep it to yourself.
      In other words, If you don't have anything good to say, then sit down and shut it!
      Liberal indeed!
      You obviously know nothing about the man. What's more, You probably haven't even taken any time to educate yourself about him. That's just lazy and willingly stupid.
      Unless of course...your HATE is the point. That's the warm blanket that you wrap yourself into and in which you find comfort.
      Those who lived through the Depression and those who served in the great wars would be appalled by how this America conducts itself!
      I travel all over the world And I have always been proud of The United States ... Never embarrassed nor ashamed.
      Until now.

    people would be shocked how thin a "sexual assault" or "sexual harassment" can be. I'm glad to know he "built an entire infrastructure to address sexual assault and harassment allegations" on his three-star command. great uses of resources. Wanna end sex problems in military? Get women out of military. Otherwise, it'll only get worse.

      @@gregh7400 c'mon. The number of male on male complaints vs the other isn't worth mentioning. You squeeze a bunch of girls in with a bunch of guys, touching is going to occur. Feminists knew this long ago and knew that getting it set up like they have it now will provide NONSTOP harassment claims. Meanwhile, our enemies watch.
