  2. Maybe Trump should have just said: "What difference does it make that your son was killed."

    We know you are okay with that type of thing- the media matters package that you got told you that you are.

    “Whatever Ms. Wilson said was not fabricated,” Johnson’s widow, who is pregnant, confirmed on Monday. “What she said was 100-percent correct. The phone was on speakerphone. Why would we fabricate something like that?”

    Why, indeed?

    Seems that the widow has about 700,000 reasons to fabricate it.

    And again, I wouldn't have a problem if she was asking for "general funds" for the educational needs of children of fallen soldiers, but right now, it's looking like exploitation.

  5. Spousal benefits.
    The amount of SGLI insurance that the soldier has is normally 400 thousand dollars if killed in combat.
    If the service member was in the army for a full term, right before retirement, or eligible to draw a pension, then the spouse will get his pension until she re-marries. (Does not apply in this case)
    SSI and other benefits. Children will recieve SSI benefits, as well as Spousal SSI benifits as long as they are in School, and or are over the age of 18 for those not in school. (note SSI is paid by the Social Security Administration).
    Spousal GI Bill. If your spouse was killed in action and has never used the GI bill then it can be transferred to either the spouse or an eligible child that is able to go to college.

    She and her children are entitled to every penny. Those wishing to provide further assistance should do so knowing she and her children are receiving these benefits.
    One can only speculate as to what piece of the action the political hack will ask for as a campaign contribution.

    Absolutely! Yes, she and her family are deserving of every benefit available to them.

    As far as the gofundme campaign, wouldn't surprise me a bit if Frederica is getting a large cut of it. Probably has one of her campaign staffers in Pakistan running it.

  7. Any spouse who makes the death of their (soldier) spouse into a political racist agenda is sinful.


    So much for grieving .


    Trump has done so much for the military/soldiers and this is the thanks he gets. Liberal people know no bounds.They are blinded by hate to the detriment of their own family legacy,and it's sad.

  8. Really.. You think Ambassador Stevens and the others at the compound who were killed did not hear what Hillary said? Or your argument is that because it was not in a direct phone call "what difference does it make?"

    What difference does it make was not about Ambassador Stevens and the others lives.Hillary doesn't insult Gold Star families and POWs,Trump does.
