Seems like many of these boneheads here never served in the military, or know nothing about it. He was not just a soldier, but SPECIAL FORCES no less. Like the Seals, the casuality rate on missions is often very high.
Top risk assignments.He knew very damn well what he was getting into.
Yes, Trump was a little blunt with the widow, but it was the honest truth. Insensitive, perhaps, but true.
No worse that if it was Hillary with her phony canned blathering of fake sympathy.
OBTW, What the hell are we doing in Niger??
I don't know what you do for a living, but if you have a spouse, I hope that person never hears "he/she knew what they were getting into" if you die in a workplace accident.
Of COURSE her husband knew he was signing up for a dangerous job. That's a bit of a "no duh" statement.
But, did she want to hear that from the President who sent him to Niger in the first place?
Nope. Nobody would want to hear that.
And, I do agree... what ARE we doing in Niger?

Actually, it was the fact that obama existed that stirred up racial hatred for the last eight years.
Really? Obama inserted himself into every crime that involved a black person, and before any facts were known, blamed the police. He quickly took up the cause of the "Hands up don't shoot" rioters, even though it was a lie. He defended the little thug and street fighter, Trayvon Martin, by saying, "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin." He said this while George Zimmerman was on trial, even though this was a clear case of self defense. He sent Eric Holder to Florida, for God only knows what purpose, to interfere in that investigation and trial. He invited "Black Lives Matter" thugs who marched in the streets advocating the shooting of our police officers, to the White House, and he refused to prosecute "Black Panthers" who were intimidating voters exercising their right to vote.
This man stirred up more racial hatred than any president in American history, and it was his actions and words, not because "he existed."
Funny, because he was elected twice, and it must have taken more that just black votes. But, of course, people were afraid of being labeled "racist" if they didn't support him.
Nobody held a gun to their heads or told them they would lose their job. That's more of a Trump tactic.
We agree. The Khans let themselves be used by the Democrats.
Who knows what they were told. Maybe they were given the impression they could attack Trump freely and no one would dare talk back to them because they lost a son.
In any case, shame on the Democrats for using them this way.
Perhaps he should put his third wife in charge of calling the widows and parents. She, at least, seems to have all the empathy in the family.
You're assuming you know what he told this woman. You don't.
Other Gold Star moms and widows have said that Trump showed "extraordinary empathy." They are in total disagreement with this one woman and this Florida black Congresswoman, who has been advocating Trumps impeachment and removal from office since the day he stepped into the Oval Office. She is a "Maxine Waters" wannabe. She is dumb as a rock but she is no "star".

The Khans had a perfect right to speak at the Democratic convention. Trump's attacks on them were vile and disgusting.
At the Republican convention, they were chanting "Lock her up" and working with the Russians to get a more Russian-favorable platform. Not much to be proud of there.
