   That's what people like about Chump.  His honesty.   
      
   Let's be honest here.  A president has to more or less not care about 5 or   
   6 (or even hundreds or thousands) of soldiers dying.  That *is* what   
   happens in war.  They *have* to see the big picture and realize that, yes,   
   war is hell, but the mission is what counts.  If we had not taken this   
   attitude in years past, well, we'd all be speaking German now.   
      
   But most president have learned to lie about it.  They fake sympathy, and   
   we all eat it up.  And this is as it should be.   
      
   But Chump doesn't bother with such trivialities.  And that what people like   
   about him.  He behaves like a honest 6 year old (*).  They like that.   
      
   (*) Who hasn't learned to fake it like adults are do (and are supposed to do).
