John Kelly confirms donnie boy called the service dead "suckers".


'Not even close': John Kelly slams Trump's controversial Medal of Honor comparisons - Raw Story

....
“Think of Normandy, Iwo Jima, Vietnam or Fallujah,” Kelly told CNN. "No president, member of Congress, judge or political appointee — and certainly no recipient of the Presidential Medal — will ever be asked to give life or limb to protect the Constitution. The two awards cannot be compared in any way. Not even close.”

Trump made this comparison last Thursday as he discussed awarding the top civilian honor to GOP donor Miriam Adelson. He argued it was “actually, much better” than the Medal of Honor “because everyone [who] gets the congressional medal of honor, that’s soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead.”

Kelly confirmed to CNN last year that Trump as president had disparaged service members as "suckers," which the former president has argued was a "made-up quote."

The quote appeared in a 2020 story in The Atlantic that included Trump saying to Kelly in Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day 2017, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
