Earlier yesterday, the guided-missile destroyer USS John McCain collided with an oil tanker (merchant vessel Alnic MC) east of the Strait of Malacca and Singapore and the resulting accident caused the disappearance of 10 sailors and 5 injured. This is a tragedy that possibly could have been avoided, but the reports about the incidents leading up to the crash are spotty.
The initial reports about the incident were received by both General John Kelly, Chief of Staff, and General H.R. McMaster, National Security Advisor, who were briefed on the incident. Their job was to pass on the information to the President and from there, he would formulate an appropriate response for the nation.
Instead, President Trump tweeted a cryptic message “That’s too bad,” which apparently set off alarm bells in the Twitterverse. The people lit up with critical responses that were rapid and seriously angry.
One thing that isn’t talked about, however, is the fact that the two most prominent individuals involved with military news and information that reaches the ear of the president, Kelly and McMaster, failed to brief the president on the details regarding the crash, intimating in a sense that the tragedy was more of “just a bumper crunch” between the ships!
Turn to the next page to read about the reactions of the generals and determine for yourself if this was a simple miscommunication or a concerted effort to place President Trump once again in the crosshairs of the Establishment!
THINK I’LL WAIT FOR THE LEAKED VERSION !
Truth……” McMasters” ???
They both need to hear the words “YOUR’E FIRED!!!
Obama’s commanders
This is Obama’s men and they need to be gone!
Why would they feel they could withhold information from the President?
I think it was done on purpose.
I have several friends that are familiar with Navy Ships. They say that the hit by a large freighter does not look like a hit from the Bow of that ship. They say that there should have been more damage from the Water Line to the Main deck, more like a knife damage. They say that this looks more like a Torpedo hit below the Waterline. They also say, that if this instead, is a ship to ship attack, then it is an On purpose attack and wonder why the Destroyer Command did not take direct Evasive Maneuvers to prevent it!
SOMEONE IS JAMMING OUT RADAR AND SENSORS
There is a huge security problem in the Unites States Navy when four Navy vessels are damaged in less than a year. I believe this could be an intentional means from foreign sources to weaken our military in a slow methodical manner and no one sees this. As a 22 year veteran, this really concerns me. After they take down the smaller vessels, they have the experience to go to larger vessels. Why doesn’t this concern the Admirals and Generals. We are going to wake up one day to the threat with minimal assets to deploy. Are we being destroyed within? This scared me to death!
The last sentence says it. Get rid of them.
