[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about he say something like this:

"knowing he might die, he still wanted to serve his country.  He was a true patriot, and we are indebted to him, and to you and your family.  My thoughts are with you."

Not that hard.  And I'm no word smith either.[/quote]

[b]Well that was the message he was trying to convey[/b]. They spoke for 5 minutes. The purpose of the call was to offer condolences.[/quote]

How do you know that was what he was trying to convey? That is not what he said, at all. He is a native English speaker. [/quote]
First PP here... I agree, that's not the message I hear from those words.  What I hear is, "well, he did know what he was signing up for, so you must've knew it could happen, right... but I GUESS it still hurts".  He GUESSES?  Because he's never known a loss like this widow, or he just has zero sympathy.

Word choices matter.  Again, if Obama said something like this at a policeman's funeral, what would be the reaction from Trumpsters?  You people who are defending Trump are really reaching.  But I GUESS you have to keep defending your bad choices otherwise you would have to admit that your choice was a bad one.[/quote]
