Things I think my Father said

1.  Trump said, as reported in The Atlantic, that soldiers who were killed or wounded in our wars were "losers" or "suckers".
Senator Bob Kerry (D-NE) wounded Vietnam vet, said that he knew that many wounded vets that he knew felt that they were "suckers".

My father once said that while he was serving in Europe, his comrades said that they were suckers because the men at home were out of danger and making money.

2.  My father served in Italy.  When one of his sisters asked what the Italians were like, he said, "They were starving."
