White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly gave a heart-rending press conference Thursday, explaining the process of how the President contacts the families of fallen soldiers, and expressing his disgust that a member of Congress would listen in on such a private conversation and use it as a political football against the President.
As the White House briefing room sat in awed silence, Kelly recounted his own experience losing a son in battle, how the military responds when one of their own is killed in action, and how the President — the Commander-in-Chief — responds when a United States soldier falls in battle.
