Retired Col. Jack Jacobs said President Trump is a "man without honor who desperately wants it."

President Donald Trump is a “man without honor who desperately wants it”, retired Col. Jack Jacobs said during an appearance on MSNBC after the president attacked retired Admiral William McRaven for not finding Osama bin Laden sooner.


Via RawStory:


In a Sunday interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace, Trump opined that the SEALS should have taken down bin Laden “a lot sooner.” The Republican National Committee soon followed his lead and suggested McRaven was a shill for Hillary Clinton.

Retired Col. Jack Jacobs told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace that military leaders who work for Trump are likely “nauseated” at having to do so given all of his attacks on veterans.

“You have to do what Einstein called a ‘thought experiment’ and ask yourself the question, why would any of these people work for this administration?” Jacobs said. “And if you get them up against the wall and ask them that and you’re inside the cone of silence, they’d probably say that they do it because nobody else can or nobody else would.”


Jacobs went on to say that Trump is not a man of honor:


“The nation chooses to bestow honor on certain individuals,” Jacobs said. “One cannot claim honor for themselves. As a nation we bestowed honor on Admiral McRaven… on the Khan family, on their son who gave his life in service to our country. On men like John McCain for their heroism.”

“Donald Trump, this is a man without honor who desperately wants it,” he said.

“Even his supporters acknowledge” that Trump has “no kindness, no empathy, no understanding,” the Medal of Honor recipient added.
