Dear editor,
President Obama authorized bombings of ISIS in Libya last week by our Stealth Bombers that flew from the United States to Libya and back.
Pursuant to that same authorization, this week United States Special Forces are killing ISIS in multiple operations in Iraq, Syria and throughout the Middle East. All with the help of locals in the area.
We are blessed that our Special Forces are trained to do just that in our back yard. Yet, on his first day in office, President Trump puts them all at risk by standing in front of the CIA wall of honor and announcing our new policy of taking their oil.
A first-grader will fight another first-grader if they try to take away their crayon. Somehow, President Trump did not know that people would fight to keep their oil. These people being the same ones now helping our Special Forces.
No amount of training can protect our Special Forces from this kind of reckless endangerment.
In the future, President Trump, please keep your mouth shut on matters than can get our neighbors and friends killed. We realize that you are more comfortable speaking on matters you claim to have knowledge about — like how smart you are and how many times you have been on the cover of Time magazine.
Next time, do not forget Playboy.
