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.

3. Trump didn't remember Sgt. La David T. Johnson's name, but we will

The Dallas Morning News: Could our president not even remember La David Johnson’s name?
