President Donald Trump struggled to offer much sympathy for the families of about 100 Americans—many of them U.S. military veterans—who have died fighting in Ukraine. An estimated several thousand Americans have volunteered to fight for Ukraine since Russian dictator Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion in 2022, with at least 92 Americans killed as of September, The New York Times reported.
Following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday to discuss a peace deal to end the war, Trump was asked about his message to the families of the fallen Americans. “The message is so obvious,” he replied. “What a shame. They died in a foreign country. And some are celebrated people, they’re very celebrated. But it’s so sad that a thing like that would happen.”

If you think that government can tell people of this particular occupation what to do… Well, good luck telling a heavily armed crowd that they can’t do something. That’s a nice recipe for a coup de tat you got there. Just another cause for unnecessary infighting. Nobody wants that.
Every dictator would tell you that military is the last thing you should piss off
Does that answer your question?
