The Right reminds the president that, in the end, it’s all about the grieving families
A roundup of editorials Thursday points out that the issue isn’t who said what, it’s that four soldiers were killed serving their country.
Opinions from the Right:
1. In the controversy over Trump's handling of four slain Green Berets, we're all losers
From The Washington Examiner: Don’t make the death of a serviceman a political football. Remember the grieving families.

2. The Real Insult to the Troops Is Rudderless Military Adventurism
From The Reason: It’s difficult to honor the dead when U.S. foreign policy leads members of our military to needless deaths.
