Letter: Show respect for military

An article in The Atlantic stated that Trump repeatedly disparages the military, calling them losers and suckers (“Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’,” The Atlantic, Sept. 3). Because of previous statements about John McCain, this is easy to imagine.

The Military Times, an independent bimonthly newspaper, reports Trump has falsely claimed credit for veterans’ aid packages that were passed during the previous administration (“Trump’s misleading claims on military readiness and veteran care,” Military Times, Sept. 14).

Joe Biden will never wonder aloud about the fallen,”I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” as Trump did. Let’s elect a president who gives our military the respect they deserve.
