Trump obviously does not understand chain-of-command. The buck stops with him. He will never admit it. Someone else is always at fault. He approved the mission. The responsibility is his and his alone.

President Donald Trump suggested in an interview broadcast Tuesday that former President Barack Obama was, in part, at fault for last month's raid in Yemen that resulted in the death of a Navy SEAL, even though it was Trump who gave the order to carry out the raid.
In an interview with "Fox & Friends" that aired Tuesday, Trump was asked how he felt that William Owens, whose son William "Ryan" Owens was killed in the raid in Yemen, didn't want to meet with Trump out of indignation because of the raid's botched execution.
"This was a mission that was started before I got here," Trump said. "This was something they wanted to do. They came to see me, they told me what they wanted to do, the generals, who are very respected — my generals are most respected we've had in many decades, I believe. And they lost Ryan."
