Trump’s war messaging disturbing to veterans.
White House posts mixing Iran war footage with clips from cartoons is rarely experienced by American military and filling veterans with disgust.
Veterans had seen firsthand the sacrifices the nation’s service members made in combat. They now closely follow the reports of the 13 Americans killed and more than 200 injured in the U.S. and Israeli campaign in Iran.
But President Donald Trump’s top communications team had decided to treat the international conflict like a big joke.
Veterans who were already questioning the war’s strategy and endgame are unnerved to find the nation’s highest office posting pop-music-scored clips of missile strikes, mixed with footage from Call of Duty and “SpongeBob SquarePants.” This makes a mockery of a serious conflict and obscures questions about its human costs.
