However, I don't recall any President naming any members of a special operation team before, probably because it's a security violation. And being that he did say "The American people do not see their work, nor know their names" kinda hints that the nameless shale rename nameless, departments, people, branches, etc... I would guess for security reasons, but that's just me.

You of all people...since you belonged to a secretive branch of the military...should be aware of this. Please stop with the silliness. |
I wouldn't have a problem with a president saying a submarine was involved in something, I think saying just "the men" was insultive. Bush called them special forces, hell even Obama in the past called them Special Forces, but when they killed Osama, they were "the men" I never said anything about naming the individuals, sorry you guys are so quick to judge without realizing that, I'll try harder next time.
Of course epitome has an excuse, he's an idiot

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
