Of course, Trump is lashing out because he's a sensitive babyman.

Why be so deceiving in your post? Why leave out the rest of his comments and important parts to the story DJT?
HERE is a link we can get in to without having to pay on it and it depicts quite a different story on what you seemed to imply.
Bill Clinton: 'I could have killed' Osama bin Laden in 1998
"I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him."
"And so I didn't do it," the former commander in chief says.
Hours after Clinton spoke of his role in the 1998 decision to not attempt to kill Bin Laden, the 2001 terror attack was underway in the United States.
The latest recording is more than just a historical irony or a sad footnote. There have long been complaints in some conservative quarters about Clinton's actions in failing to neutralize Bin Laden.
The 1998 incident was previously known but the tape is the first known recording of Clinton speaking about the decision. The Australian recording was made by a local official who told Australian news outlets it was made with permission of the former president.
Bin Laden had been a target for U.S. officials for his role in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. The U.S. government launched missile strikes in August 1998, but Bin Laden was not injured.
By December 1998, intelligence indicated that Bin Laden was staying at the governor's residence in Kandahar, according to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, otherwise known as the 9/11 Report, released in 2004. According to the report, the missed chance made some lower-level officials angry, but later information showed that Bin Laden had left his quarters.
"The principals' wariness about ordering a strike appears to have been vindicated: Bin Laden left his room unexpectedly, and if a strike had been ordered he would not have been hit," the commission wrote.
U.S. officials again considered a missile strike against Bin Laden in May 1999 – but decided not to act because the intelligence seemed unclear. The situation was complicated by the accidental bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the NATO war against Serbia, the commission said.
"This episode may have made officials more cautious than might otherwise have been the case," the commission's report stated.
Bin Laden was eventually killed in a 2011 raid by U.S. Special Forces in Pakistan.

You disagree that I would ve been nicer if we would have killed Bin Laden sooner? Seriously? I think you are crazy, I think it would have been really great have killed or captured Bin Laden before 911.
Watch the video, starting at around 2.30
he said the general was a Hillary Clinton supporter.... blah blah blah
the Admiral wrote this regarding Trump's lie
Feud Between Retired Admiral and Trump Intensifies
The tit for tat between President Donald Trump and Retired Adm. William McRaven intensified on Sunday as the admiral lashed out at the president on CNN after Trump dismissed him as a "Hillary Clinton backer."
"I did not back Hillary Clinton or anyone else," said McRaven, who has been a fierce critic of the president. "I am a fan of President Obama and President George W. Bush, both of whom I worked for. I admire all presidents, regardless of their political party, who uphold the dignity of the office and who use that office to bring the nation together in challenging times."
Trump downplayed McRaven's significance during an interview on Fox News. When Fox’s Chris Wallace tried to point out McRaven’s credentials, including commanding “the operations that took down Saddam Hussein and that killed Osama bin Laden,” Trump brushed off the accomplishments, saying "OK, he's a Hilary Clinton backer and an Obama-backer, and frankly ... wouldn't it have been nice if we got Osama bin Laden a lot sooner than that?”
McRaven told CNN in response that he stands by “my comment that the president's attack on the media is the greatest threat to our democracy in my lifetime. When you undermine the people's right to a free press and freedom of speech and expression, then you threaten the Constitution and all for which it stands."

So, let's see...you certainly don't have a problem criticizing a President, his wife, his kids...but criticizing a four-star general is off limits?

The admiral is not above criticism. He criticized the president. He should expect to be criticized himself.
