A top commander has recently gone public with a scathing critique of the president’s remarks, stating that labeling fallen service members as “small potatoes” is deeply disrespectful and inhumane.
The commander emphasized that 18 service members have died in recent operations. “Tell that to the families who lost their children,” he said. “There is nothing ‘small’ about that. It’s utterly disgraceful.”
Furthermore, the commander condemned the president for starting another never-ending war in the Middle East while hiding in a food cart and calling injured and dead service members “small potatoes.” Such remarks are as disrespectful as they come.
