Listening to this man, I mostly hear an attempt to save face. I appreciate that it will speak to those who have been through military experiences as they will be emotionally triggered by the descriptions of the battles and deaths etc.

His comment about being angry that the conversation was 'listening in on' is absurd, given that the call was made on a speakerphone in a funeral limousine where there was very little opportunity to NOT listen in. Logic is lacking here.

Yes, there are two sides to every story and yes it is a very difficult thing to have to do to call a family in that situation. I FEEL that the cause of the problem here is a LACK OF EMPATHY in Trump AND the 'General' - which is exactly the main killer on our planet today. These are people who are surrounded all day long in lies and a kind of BS mentality that claims that 'they are among the top 1% of the people in America' (from his own words) - how humble - and therefore that what they think must therefore be the best thing to think. That pretty much sums up Trump's attitude and it is hardly surprising that he causes a shitstorm when his bravado causes him to venture into territory for which he is not only woefully unprepared but is like a kindergarten child who thinks he is an adult that knows it all.

If you can't see that Trump is hugely imbalanced then there probably isn't much more to be said here.
