Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) asked President Trump to let the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) "rest in peace" in a statement on Thursday.

“We are chagrined by the President’s inability to let a fellow Vietnam veteran rest in peace,” VVA National President John Rowan wrote in the letter. “Mr. Trump, it’s time to move on. Help us heal our Nation and honor those who have served and sacrificed.”

The letter does not mention McCain by name. It notes the timing of Trump's criticism ahead of National Vietnam War Veterans Day, March 29.

The VVA letter goes on to address individuals who avoided the draft during the Vietnam War, a possible reference to Trump's deferment from service for bone spurs.

"We have forgiven those who received educational and medical deferments from serving in the war," the letter states. "And we are greatly saddened by the President’s inability to let a Vietnam War hero rest in peace."

To take a candidate’s character into consideration before casting your ballot.

We Democrats learned slowly, painfully that we had not only to maintain our respect for the men and women who serve or have served in our armed forces, but to sideline the occasional bad apples who slip through and don’t. This is something the Republican Party hasn’t done for a long time.

2. Chagrinned? How about appalled? Sickened?

3. Hey VVA, quit using such strong language! You're offending my sensibilities with your rough

talk. My vapors were so bad, I had to go lay on my fainting couch.
