The record is plain that presidents
reached out to families of the dead and to the wounded, often with
their presence as well as by letter and phone. The path to Walter
Reed National Military Medical Center and other military hospitals,
as well as to the Dover, Delaware, Air Force Base where the remains
of fallen soldiers are often brought, was a familiar one to Obama,
George W. Bush and others.

“Trump to call families of slain soldiers, questions Obama”
There is already
such
weight on
shoulders.
I have no time to
call families
of fallen or
wounded American soldiers.
I suppose I could
call.
(Like Bush 43 and
Obama did.)
But what would I
say,
“Have a great
day,
sorry your
husband, kid,
wife, sister,
brother,
father, mother,
second cuz,
other's
a loser who fell
for country?”
That stuff just
does not motivate
me.
I'm too busy
noticing
who's “taking a
knee”.
