You really, truly, don't have a clue, do you?Trump to soldier's widow, "He knew what he signed up for!"
This shows us how profoundly Trump and the GOP don't understand what motivates an American soldier and how they think.
Naturally, no one wants to die. But what is worse than dying is having your life wasted. Trump, letting those four soldiers be ambushed for no apparent reason is worse than Benghazi. At least in Benghazi, those soldiers were trying to defend an obstinate ambassador who wouldn't leave even when warned the situation was dangerous. Trump has no strategy or plan. He listens to the last person he talked to. Trump is definitely worse than Bush. But drunk or not, at least Bush actually served. Trump had five deferments.
Do they let you out for exercise once a week?
I guess not. You better explain it to me:

Maybe you can explain to me exactly how Trump "LET" those soldiers be ambushed. Did he know in advance? Did he direct them? What was the politics that prevented him from rescuing them? I mean, they did call for extraction, right? No? Gee ...
Now, we talk about Benghazi - they knew. Stevens called for assistance. It was sitting on a runway less than 3 hours away ---- the firefight lasted for 13 hours. He was intentionally abandoned for political reasons. Politics was more important than the lives of 4 Americans.
You got nothing - nothing --- well, except an overriding shame and constant embarrassment at how the Benghazi fiasco was mishandled. Now, you try to soothe your conscience by trying to create myth out of thin air about this incident.
It won't work ---- you'll still have that ugly taste in your mouth.
