Gold Star Parents Rip Into Admiral Who Bashed Trump Over Brennan Clearance Revocation
Gold Star parents, Billy and Karen Vaughn have issued a scathing response to retired Navy Admiral, William McRaven, who recently penned a snarky Washington Post op-ed, defending former CIA Director John Brennan and insulting President Trump for revoking the former director's security clearance.
President Trump’s official statement about Brennan’s clearance states that the former director lied about the Trump administration and exhibited “erratic” behavior.
McRaven, who was commander of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command (US JSOC) from 2011 to 2014 and oversaw the bin Laden raid, targeted Trump in his op-ed, writing, "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
McRaven defended Director Brennan as a "man of unparalleled integrity" and wrote, "I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency..."

THE SHOOTDOWN OF EXTORTION 17
The Vaughn’s son, U.S. Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn, was killed on August 6, 2011, when his CH-47 Chinook helicopter (call sign, Extortion 17) was shot down in Wardak province in eastern Afghanistan. In all, 30 Americans died in the attack, 17 of whom were elite Navy SEALs. The shoot down, which occurred just months after the bin Laden raid, was the largest single-incident loss of life in the war in Afghanistan.

The aftermath of this tragedy, although not widely linked to McRaven, occurred under his leadership. He was promoted to U.S. JSOC just two days after the shooting.

The downing of Extortion 17 has been shrouded in secrecy, leaving the Vaughns with many unanswered questions about the night their son was killed. One whistleblower, retired Air Force Captain Joni Marquez, claimed the government covered up evidence that the shooting could have been prevented had it not been for the restrictive rules of engagement from the Obama Administration.
THE VAUGHN’S SCATHING RESPONSE TO McRaven
O
n January 4, 2013, McRaven met with the Vaughns to discuss Extortion 17. In his book, Betrayed: The Shocking True Story of Extortion 17 as Told by a Navy SEAL’s Father, Billy recalls his meeting with the admiral, writing about heated exchanges with him over details of the shoot down.
He also claims that McRaven–who emphasized he did not want their meeting to be “political” — continued to praise President Obama throughout a discussion with his family.
