Is. An. Ass.
A military man talking to another (high ranking) military man about losing his son is completely different than a supposed president talking to a young wife about her dead husband.
His direspect for civilians (other than his fucked up boss) is breathtaking.

(22,144 posts)shouldnt have to be told what to say to express compassion. Plus we have all lost someone we care for and that loss is the same as losing someone in the service. Disgusted.

(7,349 posts)no less.....or make that "a pregnant, about to be mother of 3 fatherless children". But, of course, those children should have known what they signed up for when they were conceived.
I have no words, that I can print, to describe my heartbreak (for them) and disgust (for him) right now.....

(70,696 posts)I've posted a few times, when KELLY was lauded YES-HERE for being the adult somehow reining TWITLER in, that when he was at DHS he was a brute on Border policy.
He's been turned into the aw-shucks Gary COOPER/John "Draft Dodger" WAYNE type of testosterone hero.
Listening to several minutes of his press conference one question led to another:
* Since when do chiefs of staff hold press conferences?
I don't recall any by Rahm EMANUEL, PANETTA, or any of the other ones, full list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_White_House_Chiefs_of_Staff
* Why does TWITLER have to use others as crutches for defending and explaining his fuck-ups - not to mention never facing real and extended questions himself, always having a hapless visiting head of state standing next to him, and yukking it all off without the semblance of actual thought?!1
* When did the CIVILIAN CONTROL of American government get superseded by military prototypes?
Viz., reporters getting "qualified" to ask questions according to being or knowing Gold Star families.
* Who has degraded the principles of American government, not to mention Gold Star families, more than TWITLER?
* Why does an unelected flunky (you, KELLY) have more First Amendment privilege than a congresscritter who was elected to represent the constituents, besides having a personal relationship with the deceased veteran and his wife?
* Why do wingnuts exemplified by radio wingnut LOESH orgasming over KELLY believe that he personifies American values by dint of his gender and the stereotypical physical characteristics of it and of degrading his dead son's memory?
