Adm McRaven: "Like most Americans, I had hoped that when you became president, you would rise to the occasion and become the leader this great nation needs."

Adm. McRaven: "A good leader tries to embody the best qualities of his or her organization. A good leader sets the example for others to follow. A good leader always puts the welfare of others before himself or herself."

"Your leadership, however, has shown little of these qualities. 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."

"If you think for a moment that your McCarthy-era tactics will suppress the voices of criticism, you are sadly mistaken. The criticism will continue until you become the leader we prayed you would be." Adm McRaven

its hard to leave me truly speechless, but the comment by Admiral William McRaven is stunning in American history. This is an unparalleled step to see the JSOC head call out Mr Bonespurs.
