College speaker: Don’t typecast former Trump official

“Students criticize choice for UPS lecture series,” (TNT, 9/8).

I cannot yet make a judgment about the accusations against H.R. McMaster concerning the Tal Afar, Iraq alleged human rights violations of 2005. I can, though, present two other facts.

First, McMaster was fired as President Trump’s national security advisor after one year, partly because he stated that it was “incontrovertible” that Russians interfered in the 2016 election.

Second, in 1997 McMaster published this book: “Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam.”

In June, protesters tore down a statue of Ulysses S. Grant, because he once owned a slave. Grant freed that man. The Civil War could not have been won by the Union without his genius at battle tactics.

Both the Left and the Right sometimes make judgments without complete facts. Listen first.
