Noticing this refrain more and more on various outlets.
The story is becoming that it doesn't matter if it is true or not.
Whether it is true or not Trump should apologize to the troops anyway.
The Leftist line seems to be, even if it is NOT true ... it should be!
They are getting caught in another Dan Rather type made-up lie.
So now they are crying outloud, 'We don't care if it is true or not. We are going to report it forever anyway.'

The third line is intuitive and insightful; yet why?
Because Trump has run of at the mouth for more than 60 years w/one outrageous and
reckless statement after another.
As a consequence, his reputation is now cast in stone for a large majority of plain people.
Were he to issue an apology preceded w/a conditional "IF" he would likely create surprise
if not shock, turn down the decibels for the moment and perhaps change some minds.
His Fan Club, addicted to conflict and noise will go bonkers; their behavioral gene and so what.
The wise always seek the advantage in any conflict.
