i need to double down on what i just said about trump's war comments.

in the article, he says things like "i don't get it. what's in it for them?".

and, they slammed him for not understanding sacrifice, which is absolutely bizarre.

rather, to me, and i went over this in 2016 too, but, to me, it's refreshing to hear a politician talk about war in more sombre and reflective terms, like that. because, i don't get it, either. and, none of the authors i read get it, and none of the movies i watch get it, and none of my friends have ever gotten it.

and, i've participated in anti-war movements that don't get it.

those comments were humanizing, they were flattering to trump's intelligence (even in the face of so much which isn't) and they were reassuring.

i want a commander-in-chief that doesn't understand why anybody would sign up for a war, not one that talks about sacrificing our children, and criticizes people that think that that's insane.
