What do you think about the female Democratic party representatives who refused to acknowledge the sacrifice of a fallen hero?

Here is some of the story and the video for those of you who did not watch the Presidential address last night.

I don't particularly approve of Trump trying to play off his failed mission as some great success and dragging the family member of a fallen soldier who he ordered to his death through the muck with him to justify his political goals.

I feel horrible for that woman, and even worse for the SEAL that didn't come home, I just hope that she doesn't catch a bunch of flak for being associated with the man-child-in-chief.

So can I put you down as your ok with their actions? That was what the question was about.

I think she deserved to be recognized and lifted up for her loss. Her husband was given a meritorious promotion posthumously. The president has spoken to her numerous times and I imagine he will continue to comfort the family.

I believe he feels the loss genuinely.

Just my .02

I understand them, without condoning or condemning. I personally don't think I would have been able to stand and applaud during that moment, but I certainly would have been willing to give that widow a hug and personal condolences on a one-on-one basis. But I'm not a politician or a person who knows one that would ever end up in that room. So what I would do in that situation quite literally doesn't matter.

@UndeadPrivateer: Fair enough. Honest answer for sure.
