Trump Has a Real Problem With Wounded Vets
While Donald Trump loves to portray himself as a patriot who deeply loves the United States military, his appalling disrespect for service members has actually been a running theme throughout his political career.
The latest example comes from a profile of General Mark Milley, who served as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the final 16 months of Trump’s presidency. Jeffrey Goldberg reports in
The Atlantic that Milley came to feel Trump’s attitude toward service members was “superficial, callous, and, at the deepest human level, repugnant.” Milley’s misgivings started during his first day on the job in 2019 when Trump reportedly told him “no one wants to see” wounded soldiers after he met Luis Avila, a severely injured Army captain.
Milley’s claim is highly plausible as it lines up with previous comments Trump is alleged to have made openly expressing his discomfort with wounded veterans. Susan Glasser and Peter Baker have reported that when Trump — inspired by a Bastille Day celebration he attended in 2017 — became obsessed with staging the biggest-ever military parade in Washington, D.C., he specifically told then–White House chief of staff John Kelly that he didn’t want “wounded guys” to be a part of it. From a New Yorker article drawn from Glasser and Baker’s book,

General Mark Milley is but the latest to allege that Trump, as president, wanted injured service members hidden from view.
