>> Owens, also a military veteran, was troubled by Trump’s harsh treatment of a Fake Gold Star family

(needs more)

I have sympathy and feel for those who lose their sons, daughters, husbands, and wives who are serving our country. But, when those parents and/or spouses then use the death of their loved one for crass political purposes as this father is, I think it is despicable and I no longer have sympathy for them. They are in effect degrading and minimizing the ultimate sacrifice their loved one made for this country.

That was my tip off too.

Additionally, since when do you not want the president to honor your son’s service unless you can’t stand the man?

This guy has an axe to grind.

Seems rather ok with his son being photographed with Obama.

I’d never pose with that man, unless it was a group military photo where you were forced into it.

I’m the mother of an active duty Navy Independent Duty Corpsman, the aunt of retired Navy, cousin to Air force and Marine active duty. I count dear friends among retired Marine Corps.

May his son Rest in Peace, may he receive the answers he needs and craves, and may all political game playing fail.

I find it disgusting when liberal parents of heroes use their sons' deaths to push their own personal politics.

Honor is earned by the heroes themselves, and is non-transferable to relatives. At least that's how I view these things.

‘Crass political purposes’

Just as Khizr Khan did at the Dem Convention. I guess for Democrats EVERYTHING is up for use, if it fits the Dem’s narrative. I hope this father finds peace.

The father of this fine SEAL is a fool.

Not only that, he dishonors the death of his son.

Just another RAT a-hole.

Crazy talk: “Owens, also a military veteran, was troubled by Trump’s harsh treatment of a Gold Star family during his presidential campaign.”

Yes, he was so HARSH1

I think Trump said, “I would have liked to have heard from the mother.”

BRUTAL!

“Someone leaked this mission.”

Absolutely.

Leftists and their media pets have no decency at all. They will politicize anything. Their double standards, distortions, and partisan one-sidededness are unparalleled. The intensely divergent ways in which they treat Trump vs. Obama are so extreme and blatant it’s crazy and proves the “press” totally lacks ethics. There really aren’t words to describe how much I despise our anti-American, terrorist-sympathizing propaganda media.

Bill Owens and his current wife Myriam are both registered Democrats.

I presume they're both still wearing their pussy hats from the inauguration riots.

They don't appear to have much, if any, contact with his son's family or his ex-wife, Ryan's mother.

To wit: opportunistic DemoCommie scumbags, the both of them.

I'd give 2-1 odds the son would punch the old man in the mouth if he was alive to see what he was up to.

Pretty sorry that the grieving father is being used as a tool in this - not even aware that he dishonors what his son was doing.
