re: Why would Trump all of a sudden be rude to the spouse of a KIA soldier?

Didn't sound like rude, just putting his foot in his mouth

This is just straight up wrong. Period.

Those in combat acknowledge and understand that we have an all volunteer fighting force that is the most professional and lethal combat machine ever created on this earth. Every single man and woman that raised their hand swore an oath to defend the Constitution since 9/11 understood exactly what they were volunteering for and accepted it. They willingly put themselves in danger.

Out elite soldiers take this understand to a whole other level as well. That is the reason there is a bell that you have to ring to drop out of Seal training, for example. No one is making them endure the hell, all they have to do is ring a bell and they can leave and go get a nice meal and a warm bed. But they don't, they understand what they are signing up for and make the choice to man up and do it, to defend their country and the Constitution.

Trump very simply acknowledged that. The idiots that think this is offensive should go back to wringing their hands in their politically correct corner. These men are from a warrior culture and operate every single day knowing they may be called upon to give the ultimate sacrifice. THEIR FAMILIES KNOW THIS TOO AND LIVE WITH IT EVERY SINGLE DAY.

So please, stop with the "Trump was politically incorrect, or insensitive" bullshite. Trump was paying homage to a warrior's family, it was clearly a sign of honor and respect - that is what Gen. Kelly said as well. Just stop. Shut the frick up and say thank you to a veteran and stop pretending like you have any idea what the correct protocol between warriors in this type of a situation.
