And I seriously doubt Kelly advised the little whinny bitch to say.."my guy" and "He knew what he signed up for" ....then again Trump could fuck up a wet dream

"He knew what he was getting himself into. Because he enlisted, there's no reason to enlist, he enlisted. And he was where he wanted to be, exactly where he wanted to be, with exactly the people he wanted to be with when his life was taken."
Is that supposed to be better?
the Vox transcription is this:
If you elect to call a family like this, it is about the most difficult thing you could imagine. There's no perfect way to make that phone call. When I took this job and talked to President Trump about how to do it, my first recommendation was he not do it. Because it's not the phone call that parents, family members are looking forward to.
...
And he 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. Let me tell you what I tell them, let me tell you what my best friend 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, and the four cases we're talking about Niger and my son's cases 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.
Obviously the first advice is by far the best advice: don't call
You're quoting the advice Kelly said he gave. This (also from the Vox transcript) is what he said about Trump's call:
And in his way tried to express that opinion that he's a brave man, a fallen hero, he knew what he was getting himself into because he enlisted, there's no reason to enlist, he enlisted and was where he wanted to be, exactly where he wanted to be with exactly the people he wanted to be with when his life was taken. That was the message.
I can understand the general idea for a father, but a widow? With children?
How far removed from reality do you have to be to believe this actually happened? I can't tell where to plot this on the Derangement Scale. Is this before, after or between "Russia!!!!!!1111" or "Rubes Just Don't Understand My Brilliance!!!!1111"?
Does enlisting mean that you are always "where [you] wanted to be with exactly the people [you] wanted to be with" if you are KIA?
yikes
I kinda wondered how this thread had hit 9 pages
I see it's because we finally found a way to go lower than even Trump
may want to back away from this thread jh. usually you can bait folks into stumbling around like fools and it's amusing. this time it's you who looks like a fool.
