" but when it happens it hurts anyway" "Anyway" sounds like a casual toss off word

The mention of pain is something commanders have traditionally gone out of their way to avoid in consoling relatives of deceased soldiers. As an example General Kellys son is said to have "died instantly"

Now to find out it has to be a closed casket and this poor woman is out of her mind with grief and despair wondering: did the love of my life suffer at the end? What does he mean it hurt when it happened?

Damn Trump straight to hell
