Trump Considers First War Zone Visit in Wake of Recent Criticism
----------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump is reportedly considering visiting troops in Iraq or
Afghanistan-it would be his first visit to a war zone since he took
office. Trump has come under fire for skipping recent visits to a
cemetery for World War I soldiers in France, followed by a missed visit
to the Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day. On Sunday, he
attacked former Navy Seal Admiral William Mc Raven-who oversaw the U.S.
operation that killed Osama bin Laden-calling him a "Hillary Clinton
fan" and an "Obama-backer" during an interview with Fox News.
