I didn't watch either. Didn't read. Non-stop barrage of AP alerts containing bits and pieces is all I can take right now, but I will say this:
Blaming William Owens' death on the military/Obama admin. is, while factually true (guy wouldn't be dead if he hadn't signed up) the most fucking repugnant thing I've heard... well, I was going to say "ever," but instead I'll go for "this week."
Really, Donald? No "he was a hero, this was a tragedy, the high cost we pay to secure our freedom" bullshit even? Just ... blame shirking? I wonder how veterans are going to respond to that.
One vet I know, who served in Afghanistan and enlisted immediately after 9/11, said "I would never serve under this man." Hopefully more people feel the same way.
