Let's be clear, here
I dont know the full context of the story but let me say this.
He shouldnt SAY IT. But it's not incorrect at all. THus why many soldiers and veterans hate when people say "thank you for your service".
Mother fukker i didnt do it for you.
I signed up with the military for it' benefits and advantages and my own career. I cashed the checks and took advantage of the benefits. fukk you and your service.
NOW, with that said i wouldnt doubt Trump's KKK card-holding racist ass had no sympathy for a black family grieving their son's death thus why he actually said it. But im sorry anyone who joins the military understands that you are at risk of putting your life on the line under someone else's discretion/orders
