Well, well, I’m sure this will upset the MAGA crew here.

First, there’s Trump:

“And sadly, there will likely be more [deaths] before it ends,” Trump said, before adding: “That’s the way it is. Likely be more.”

That’s the way it is? We’re not talking about potholes, we’re talking about U.S. troops that died in action. How disgusting.

But wait, there’s more!

From Pete Kegseth:

And then during a briefing at the Pentagon Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth criticized the media for supposedly focusing too much on the dead soldiers in an effort to make Trump “look bad.”

Media coverage of U.S. soldiers who died serving our country are making Trump “look bad”?

What an ass wipe.

What a bunch of tone deaf creeps these guys are.

The Bush junta banned taking photos of our guy's coffins coming back from Iraq.

The Ban on Military Pictures of Fallen Soldiers

[F]or more than a year, the Bush administration has strictly enforced a ban on media outlets taking pictures of soldiers' coffins being returned to U.S. military bases on grounds that it upsets mourners.

Critics say it's part of the White House's attempt to downplay the human cost of the war, which this month alone has killed at least 89 U.S. troops. As the casualties mount, the prohibition, whose origins date to 1991, has come under renewed scrutiny.
