The funny thing is, that Gen. Kelly had it right in telling him to NOT call or write these ppl. Trump was basically a dodger so he really can not understand what these ppl are going through. His family has absolutely ZERO military ppl in it.  They do not know what honor, loyalty or duty is. And really, Trump has NO CLUE about constitution. 

So, his calling these families is pretty sad, in my book. 
I know that if I lost my son/daughter,  I would not really want to hear from ppl like Trump. And to be honest, nobody like Obama, W, or even Clinton. None of them understand what it means ( W has some idea, but he was pretty much a dodger himself).
