R006, the Obama administration deferred the decision to execute the mission to Trump. Fearing the timeline for the right night to pull this off was too close to Trumps inauguration.
He made the decision to go at the dinner table. Yes, every mission is not executed as planned. The questions I have is what were we hoping to get? Whatever we did get, is this what we expected to get? Were they waiting for the raid?
I feel for the Owens family. My heart goes out to them. 
I am grateful that we have young men/women who are willing to put themselves in harms way to protect our country. At the same time I don't want our precious troops to be subjected to danger for someones political agenda or ego. I could be very wrong but I feel as though this raid was to give Trump a rebuttal to Obama's Bin Laden raid.
Was this part of the speech necessary? To put his lovely wife in the spotlight and have her grief on national tv was a bit much for her, imho. What did it accomplish?
