Congressman Pat Ryan, a Democrat and Army veteran, criticized former President Donald Trump's demeanor during a troop transfer ceremony for four U.S. service members who died recently in Iraq. Ryan described Trump's behavior as 'pathetic,' highlighting a contrast between Trump's posture and that of other leaders who typically bow their heads in respect. The soldiers honored were Army 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, and Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton. Ryan, who served two combat tours in Iraq, also condemned Trump's military deferments during the Vietnam War and suggested that Trump is unfit to lead due to his lack of military service. The House recently passed a war powers resolution regarding the ongoing conflict, which Ryan urged Republicans to support. Following the ceremony, Trump mentioned giving a ride to Feehan's family on Air Force One during a speech in Georgia.
