McRaven is an admiral, a sr. officer, you do not attain that pay grade without playing some politics in your career. In watching the video I have to believe that he has gone Hollywood and that he truly enjoys the attention. We have no one other than the POTUS to thank for this, Obama is feeding off of the heroics of the Navy SEALS and anyone else that he can, it props him up for the next election. He is just so courageous for having these men risk their lives for us, and the job Panetta is doing, great job, fine job, who the hell is Panetta and other than living off the govt. teat all these years what has he done? The Army has had its own share of these 3 & 4 star larger than life types. They degrade all of us who ever wore the uniform honorably. McRaven talks about John Wayne, maybe he fancies himself as a modern John Wayne but I will promise you this he is no John Wayne. John Wayne knew who he was. There is a danger here in our country and it scares the living hell out of me.
