Donald Trump Twitter Account Video Reveals Covert U.S. Navy SEAL..

President Donald Trump and the White House communications team
revealed that a U.S. Navy SEAL team was deployed to Iraq after the
president secretly traveled to the region to meet with American forces
serving in a combat zone for the first time since being elected to
office.
While the commander-in-chief can declassify information,
usually the specific special operations unit is not revealed to the
American public, especially while U.S. service members are deployed.
Official photographs and videos typically blur the individual faces of
special operation forces, due to the sensitive nature of their job. 
The
president’s video posted Wednesday did not shield the faces of special
operation forces. Current and former Defense Department officials told Newsweek
that information concerning what units are deployed and where is almost
always classified and is a violation of operational security. 
Trump
flew to Iraq late Christmas Day after facing a barrage of negative
headlines over the holiday season amid a partial government shutdown.
The president and first lady Melania Trump posed for pictures with U.S.
service members at al-Asad air base in Iraq.

What an idiot.

Mixed factual reporting, past left-center bias.

Please find a better source.

[Hail Satan]

I don't think the source matters too much because this is a "Donald Trump tweeted a thing" story

You can just go to his twitter and read where he said Met with the Seals at this airbase and see the photo of them without their faces blurred like they otherwise would be

[elix]

This is what happens when you fire your communications director on the basis that you think you can do a better job personally, but you're a total idiot without any forethought much less any idea of operational security.

[Flak]

Normally I would say this, but in this case you can go directly to his Twitter and see it.

I'll allow it.

[Potusandrew]

While this is a really idiotic thing to do. I would also say that the members of the team should have known to not take a photo with him or anyone if they are on a mission

[Solokiller]

Sorry Mr President, OPSEC doesn't allow us to go anywhere near you unless it's to depose you.

[Black034]

OPSEC FFS.

Why the fucking Christ isn't this fuck informed..

[Anderan]

You can be informed and just not care.

[Flak]

Valid point, I'll allow it just this once but I'm adding the actual tweet to the OP.

[Sableye]

He's functionally illiterate. Able to get by because of his cult of helpers but unable or unwilling to actually pick up the skills needed to do the job.

[purvisdavid1]

Out of all the dumb shit he's done, he needs to be reprimanded for this by every senior military officer in his sight.

Apparently trump didn't get the memo:
