2) Trump's off-handed comment that he likes people who aren't captured. That would then be an insult to Michael Durant, Marcus Luttrell, etc...along with many other veterans, and could be extended, as mentioned in the POTUS thread, to people who are shot, step on an IED, etc...what bugs me is he only backtracked on this, but hasn't apologized for it.

McCain refused to be traded out of captivity when his Dad was CINCPAC...he did not think that right. That decision is heroic.
Not a McCain fan politically but DT stepped on his very arrogant crank.
