It’s possible that my time in the Corps caused me to value the lives of the young men we lost more than you seem to.

Many of them were friends of mine - and they gave all they had to give for this country. Yes, I think the President should call the family of those killed in action. It’s little enough. What did you think - they should just take the check and re-read the telegram? You must never have led troops or maybe had kids of your own.

After all he’s alive and they’re not. Though, I have to admit I wouldn’t like taking a call from Obama - because I wouldn’t believe him.

What the Hell is that supposed to mean? I have lost Marines in my command and attended their funerals. Loved them as brothers and remember them to this day. What makes you believe that I do not value their lives?
