Currently I am involved in the task of updating the instructions for my family if I  become  a casualty  during my current deployment.

What is not condemned, but should be, is the callous actions of too many members of the media calling Goldstar families to ask whether they received a phone call from Pres. Trump or from Pres. Obama.

What is really horrible here is the media and their intrusion into grieving families.

Anything for headline. Anything for a story. Especially if they can weave in a negative angle to a Pres. Trump

I have instructed my wife to ignore everything she sees on television or reads in our newspaper 

For years as a close observer I have discovered that the media is not interested in truth or accuracy. In every event I have knowledge of there are three stories. One that is far worse than what occurred. One that is far better than what occurred.And  the third is my direct observation of what occurred …which is very different from either of the other two stories
