When U.S. military operations began in Iran, I initially questioned whether there was an imminent threat to our nation and believed we should not have struck. I gave some grace to the decision as I did not have all the intelligence. With @joekent16jan19’s resignation today as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, my concerns have only deepened. His decision reinforces my view that no such imminent threat existed, and we should not have initiated these recent operations. I’ve spoken with Joe Kent after I left the Army. I’m grateful for his advice and I hold him in the highest regard. He is a true patriot, a courageous Special Forces Green Beret, and a Gold Star husband who has sacrificed immensely for our country. I deeply admire my brother Green Beret for his integrity and for making this principled stand, even at great personal cost. I pray for a swift and honorable end to this conflict, that God protects our troops, and that He minimizes loss of life and destruction on all sides. 🙏🏻
