Using a soldier's death as political theater and propaganda is wrong. Does it really have to extend to the MV Voice?

Hillary Clinton is more to blame for causing CPT Kahn's and 1LT Ballard's deaths in her approval and support of the war. Trump had as much to do with it as you or I.

Also, I recall that Lt. Ballard's tragic death was by accident when a .50 caliber machine gun was accidentally fired with a round still chambered during maintenance and not in a firefight against insurgents.

Let's stop the propaganda machine from getting completely out of control on both sides.

It's typical republican behavior. They always nominate an intellectually impaired candidate OR someone smart, but ethically and morally bankrupt.

Trump is awful. He dodged the draft -as did Bill Clinton. Hillary did not "safrifice" either. But Trump was verbally attacked by the pair of parents whose son was NOT killed because of Trump's (or anyone else's) observations or statements. Muslims who believe they are required to kill non-believers have no business in this (or any) country.
