Media Bias

Can I also add -
This issue about Trump's call to the fallen soldier's family is total BS. When I served in the 90's it was a point of pride that we served our country not because we were drafted or forced but because we volunteered. I can't think of one of the soldiers in any of the units I served in that would have taken offense to that fact being expressed in a condolence call.

I also think it shows the extreme left's misunderstanding of core US values. To the representative she took it as a slight (however Trump phrased it) or an in your face comment, when in reality the statement - we soldiers know what we signed up for - is always(when commanders in the field say it, when said to one another, etc) intended to reflect the greatest lengths of sacrifice one has gone and offered to our country.

As always Thank you for your service ,but defending trump is BS .The fact that a president said that to a grieving widow or mother is asinine ,simple as that.

Absolutely pathetic that the phone call designed to confort and console with nothing but a positive message is somehow twisted by a cunt of a Congress woman and the media as a negative event. Gen Kelly is 100% right. The tactics of the left and media can’t really sink any lower.

Any good reason that dumb bitch was listening in on a private phone call?

IIRC she was in the limo with them because she had known their son personally since he was a kid. So yeah, I understand the whole "respect their privacy" argument, but at the same time if the family didn't care if she listened why should we?

S/N I'm far more concerned about things that have serious repercussions on us than Trump's attempt to console gold star families. If people haven't figured out by now that he's not exactly a master wordsmith idk what to tell them.

Chico , I agree with you .Absolutely pathetic that the phone call designed to comfort and console was completely fucked up by the moron better known as the tangerine president or first liar in charge.

Praising the bravery of a person's loved one (which is what the reference to him knowing what he signed up for ALWAYS is implying when spoken of the volunteer military) is not asinine in any way.

The pavlovian response by the far left (and Republican swamp dwellers) to anything Trump certainly is asinine though.
