34% : The first time Trump made comments like these, the VFW called the "headache" comments "misguided."
31% : Trump ignored the request.
30% : As regular readers know, Trump has also reportedly denigrated those who serve in the military and condemned fallen American heroes as "suckers."
25% : After an Iranian missile attack injured U.S. troops in 2020, Trump downplayed their brain injuries as "headaches."
24% : Trump, the then-president, dismissed the importance of the injuries to his own country's troops -- he called them little more than "headaches" -- prompting the Veterans of Foreign Wars to ask the Republican to apologize for minimizing the service members' injuries.
22% : Trump has also complained bitterly about American military leaders, reportedly disparaged wounded veterans, blamed military leaders for failed missions he approved, feuded with Gold Star families, and famously declared in reference to American prisoners of war, "I like people that weren't captured, okay?"What's more, as a candidate, Trump liked to say he "felt" like he had served in the military because his parents sent him to a military-themed boarding school as a teenager.
