Opinion piece from Gold Star spouse and veteran.

Opinion | My wife died fighting ISIS under Trump's orders. How he reacted won my respect.
Shannon Kent was killed serving in Syria under orders from President Donald Trump. This, says her husband, is what happened after.


“Former President Barack Obama may have offered eloquent rhetoric, but very little changed during his tenure from his predecessor, except that he also got us involved in the conflict in Syria.“

Obama withdrew us from Iraq generally. That saved thousands of troops lives in comparison to W. That is a pretty drastic change from W.

Yes I would say that O did not involve American lives in as much military conflict as W,

although that’s not terribly surprising when you consider 9/11 happened during W’s term.

Just wanted to post another perspective in light of the “suckers” accusation. Dozens of people claiming it was never said...military personnel speaking to his behavior and the respect he showed them. And again, like the article I linked about Superfund sites earlier this week...the sentiment about how Obama was eloquent, but didn’t actually back it up with action.

Anyway, just one man’s opinion, but thought it worth sharing.
