As Commander-in-Chief, President Trump sees the human cost of foreign policy decisions in very real terms. The President, after all, is the one who has to send letters to the families of fallen Americans and comfort grieving mothers and fathers when their sons and daughters return home for the final time in flag-draped coffins. It’s one thing for civilian politicians, pundits, and journalists to beat the drums of war — they have the luxury of being able to view casualty reports as abstract data points — but President Trump is responsible for the lives of American servicemen in a way the warmongers will never understand.
