I think that people will only respect him better for this. I do! People are hungering for a leader with strong, fighting qualities, not a dishwasher liberal who calls himself "right wing," but then says things like: "how are we better than terrorists if we do such and such?" I hate this kind of sentiment, which is very popular, even on the scaled "right." We are not "competing" with terrorists for the title of the most chivalrous side. Who cares if we are "better"? We are fighting them for our survival.
