If what was written in 'The Atlantic' is true, it is disgusting. Let me be real clear, when my son was an assistant U.S. attorney and he volunteered to go to Kosovo when the war was going on, as a civilian, he wasn't a sucker. If these statements are true, the president should humbly apologize to every gold star mother and father and every blue star family that he has denigrated and sold it. Who the heck does he think he is? I would ask you all the rhetorical question. How would you feel? How would you feel if you have a kid in Afghanistan right now? You know in your heart, you know in your gut, it's deplorable.
