Would you expect any less from the man General John Kelly heard say:
Fallen Soldiers:
Kelly confirmed Trump called World War I casualties and fallen service members "losers" and "suckers" for dying in combat.
Wounded Veterans:
Kelly stated Trump expressed disdain for service members who were seriously wounded or tortured as prisoners of war, questioning why they served because "there is nothing in it for them".
Arlington Cemetery Comment:
Kelly and other reports noted Trump questioned the value of service while visiting Arlington National Cemetery, asking regarding fallen troops buried there, "I don't get it, what was in it for them?"
Visible Amputees:
Kelly confirmed Trump objected to having wounded military veterans with visible amputations participate in military parades or public events.
Medal Comparison:
Kelly criticized Trump's private and public remarks comparing the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the military's Medal of Honor, where Trump claimed the civilian award was "much better" because its recipients were healthy rather than wounded or dead.
* Former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley and a group of 13 former Trump administration officials corroborated aspects of John Kelly's accounts. They verified Donald Trump's disparaging remarks about service members, his aversion to wounded veterans, and his expressed admiration for authoritarian leaders.
