So where is Trump wrong?

He did know what he signed up for. ARMY is a job where you have to shoot other people and sometimes die.
I am no fan of Trump but I kind of agree a little with this opinion. Was it the best thing to say? No. But is it really disrespectful? I don't know. Context is important, as was the inflection. Maybe the tone of his voice made it sound like he was somehow complimenting the fact that this guy volunteered for a job that he knew would put his life in danger?

God, I can't believe I'm actually defending Trump. Ugh.

On the other hand, the fact that he only phoned the widow after being called out about it by a reporter, now THAT is indefensible!
