This ad pulls no punches. Bill Owens, the father of slain Navy SEAL William Ryan Owens, makes no bones about the fact that Donald Trump ordered the strike on Yemen because he “was playing Big Man go to war.” He also makes the point that Trump made this decision, not in the situation room, but over a dinner table with Steve Bannon. Bannon’s favorite book is “The Art Of War” and apparently the two of them were having a great time playing soldier that night — with real soldiers’ lives.

Mike Pence crowed last night about how Trump “rebuilt a hollowed out military.” Pence didn’t say a word about the bounties on American soldiers’ heads paid for by Putin. I hope there’s nobody stupid enough to think that Trump actually supports the military in any way. They’re just props in his show, like everybody else.
I also hope this ad gets wide distribution. I find it very compelling.
