His Son Died for Nothing, Jake...

 Died playing Patsy, but a soldierboy pawn in Georgie Bush's ill=timed adventure! wars.  All the glory and honor and medals heaped upon the dead don't bring them back to life, or make their deaths any more meaningful...

President Trump had the gall -- the unmitigated gall! -- to say that out loud and in public.  Something honest shared in my hearts and minds...

Those like you in the media Jake, can't be so truthful.  You played up and sold the American public on those wars. Pretended instead of reported...

President Trump had the courage to call out the lies, and in doing so, belittled this man's life work.  Do you think John Kelly knew in his bones that his military service was but an over-heralded role in an unneeded and destructive life force?  Maybe... but maybe not.  I think the latter:  that it took a President like DJT to open the man's eyes, and in doing so, Kelly will never forgive him for not letting him pretend just a bit longer... all the way to his own grave one day.  The man is haunted now.

 He learned truth from fiction too late in life to save himself, much less his son.

Former WH COS John Kelly has told friends, about Trump: “The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it's more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life."

It's but a painful lashing out, too little, too late.  Common sense and a willingness to grind against the grade, to speak out against the hierarchy is costly, but essential to the survival of the soul.  Truth comes eventually for us all, but in the end, it's a killer for most who wait too long to learn it.
