McRaven, in his letter in the Post, said Brennan was “one of the finest public servants I have ever known,” adding that he “would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency.”

He added: “Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation.”

9. Ahhh, so sorry. I misread. Sigh. I am off my game today!

10. It's okay. We're all stressed and dealing with an avalanche of news.

11. For the first major time in my life, I feel as though I cannot trust any info when it comes to the Iran war.

I really do not know what is going on there in reality with any degree of even remote certainty. It is vexing me to no end.

I mostly just tune it out TBH.

Catching up on reading and then some binge-watching of great telly series with wifey.

20. It's mostly just a bunch of "Mission Accomplished" stuff right now.

The real results won't be seen for months or years. So tune out if you're able to and save some brain cells.

15. That was the job description Putin used to recruit Krasnov

[BattleRow]

16. An indelible stain on the fabric of humanity.

[snot]

17. Well yes, except that

what's really worst of all is that thousands of people have been killed and many thousands more wounded, the world's been brought to the brink of nuclear war, and the US economy will probably never recover even to its much-faded, pre-Trumpian glory.

[Exp]

18. We need many more Admirals and Generals to speak out! nt

[BidenRocks]

19. We've been saying that since Chumps 2nd month!

Make him go away!
