Well, Joy, as you discussed, this isn't the first time the president has denigrated service or service members. We've seen it with his comments on John McCain and his powerful example of how you serve when you're captured as a POW, and the fact that you follow the rules of war and you don't accept the enemy letting you go for special favors and you stay, even if you have ejection injuries and are tortured for five more years. That's something that speaks to people who served. That's something that spoke to me as I learned about it at the Naval Academy.
