Well I wonder how many servicemen think “It doesn’t matter, I don’t care,” vs. those who feel such actions are a sharp reminder that some people have a deep disregard for the traditions and institutions that shaped our nation, and dont care at all for the lives lost in defence of our republic.
If someone reportedly said those who lost their lives in war were “suckers” and “losers” we might wonder if those words were actually spoken or not. Supposedly said to a widow, “he knew what he signed up for”. Now when that same person and his team show an absolute lack of respect for the solemnity and sanctity of our national military cemetery, the picture becomes more clear.

This is a fair question, not that servicemen approving of Trump’s appearance would make what allegedly happened okay.

That’s is just barely close to what actually happened.
If we’re assuming that all allegations are true, Trump didn’t do anything. A member of his team did “show an absolute lack of respect for the solemnity and sanctity of our national military cemetery” to put it in your words, but there’s no claim that Trump participated in such actions nor that he directed or encouraged them. Unless I’m wrong, and there are articles saying Trump said “keep pushing that federal government employee homie” and I just missed those.

Is this what conservatives are voting for?

Well that’s is my interpretation of what I heard happened. If you were there I’d be glad to hear what you saw.
