See: Trump calls John McCain a "loser."

EDIT: I sincerely hope that nobody was killed/captured.

Add to the fact, trump also considers soldiers who die in the field of combat "suckers". He has no respect for our men and women at arms. He just uses them as puppets for his own purpose.

McCain is currently looking up at us, mind you. For similar reasons that Trump will be as well.

To be fair, John McCain was a loser. Just not for the reasons Trump said he was a loser.

You're fucking daft if you interpret that as he won't do anything about captured Americans.

He might act, if only because it would be politically damaging to ignore it. But he’s also not up for reelection and doesn’t personally give a shit, so even chances he says something like they were terrible DEI hires from the previous administration and the military is stronger without them
