The perplexing thing is, that in his book about his son joining the Marines, he seemed to come to terms with that. A great deal of that book was about his former wrong headed opinion of our military and his new understanding the value of military service and the nobility of sacrifice.
I wonder what else is going on in his life these days

for your comment, please.
Very possibly he’s most upset about the coarsening of social and public dialectics. And so he’s found a way to tie a coarsening to what took place at a John McCain rally; transference, if you will. If he had sermonized upon just that, the coarsening, he’d have made a far better point. Instead, he comes across as well, terrified, and pointing his finger at the right person to “do something”; when instead, he should be using his shaming stick at the very people who’ve wrought American crises - the Democrats. It’s unfortunate; but certainly he’s not at all exempt in acting upon this so very human foil and folly.
Congratulations to your son. And thank you.
