He has that honorary Purple Heart, but the big names aren’t impressed.
Jane C. Timm@NBC News (9/6/16): “‘The fact that there aren’t any major names on the list — that it’s short — that’s what’s surprising. These are not big names,’ retired Army Col. Jack Jacobs and MSNBC military analyst told NBC News of the list. … ‘You don’t have a lot of fighting soldiers on this list, and I think it’s because he pissed off a lot of people who are fighting soldiers,’ Jacobs said of the just over a dozen Army names on the list. Trump famously criticized 2008 Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain as ‘not a war hero’ because he was captured during Vietnam. ‘I like people that weren’t captured,’ Trump said. ‘A lot of people in uniform remember that,’ Jacobs said.”
