WASHINGTON — The country’s top military officer said on Monday that he does not know where President Donald Trump got his information that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Islamic State leader, died “screaming, crying and whimpering.”

Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at a Pentagon news conference that he does not have similar information, but said Trump may have gotten his details from a conversation with military personnel on the ground who were involved in the raid.

Al Baghdadi is dead. That is indisputable. Our forces killed him. That too is indisputable. What difference does it make if Trump added some embellishments to the story? Why is that the story and the success of the mission is not?

Disloyalty is a cancer in our government. Too many twits think they are helping the country by undermining Trump.

This complaint comes from the same team who initially complained, how do you even know it was him?

from the article further down:

but said Trump may have gotten his details from a conversation with military personnel on the ground who were involved in the raid.

and

“I know the president had planned to talk down to the unit and unit members,” Milley said. “But I don’t know what the source of that was. I assume it was talking directly to unit and unit members.”

“Milley said he had not spoken with those commanders on the ground.”

He said crying probably because saying he was filling his pants wouldn’t play well on TV, but it was probably true!

Exactly why would the general feel the need to say anything on the subject at all if he did not have precise information?
