From the transcript of Gen. Kelly's remarks:
"The President of the United States... said to me, what do I say? I said to him, sir, there’s nothing you can do to lighten the burden on these families.
Well, let me tell you what I told him. Let me tell you what my best friend, Joe Dunford, told me — because he was my casualty officer. He said, Kel, he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. He knew what he was getting into by joining that 1 percent. He knew what the possibilities were because we’re at war. And when he died, in the four cases we’re talking about, Niger, and my son’s case in Afghanistan — when he died, he was surrounded by the best men on this Earth: his friends.
That’s what the President tried to say to four families the other day."

We are indebted to him and to you and his family for his and your tremendous sacrifice and devotion to this Nation and to your family."
There it's that fucking simple. How does a fucking 70 year old man need to be coached through something that simple. The reality is Donald Trump is an entirely empty suit. Not only is he to quote Rex Tillerson a "Fucking Moron" but he's also void of any character as a man. He's a truly shameful dark spot in American history.
