Vice-President Joe Biden has attacked the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, for remarks suggesting that soldiers who suffer from mental health issues might not be as strong as those who don’t.
“How can he be so out of touch?” Biden asked in an interview that aired on Tuesday on CNN. The vice-president also said Trump is “not a bad man”. But he added: “His ignorance is profound, so profound.”

This comment makes me think Trump isn't just incompetent. This comment makes me think he's throwing the election.

Ok, let me explain something to these liberal progressive media chuckleheads, having served in several combat zones myself. Yes, there are those who are able to deal with the rigors and challenges of combat better than others. That has been the case throughout the history of combat. To try and insinuate anything out of Mr. Trump’s comments other than what he said at face value is just evidence that he did well at the event — and the objective to find some bit of dirt had to be met.
What abject liars and deceivers these people are! On my salute hand, trigger finger, I wear the #22Kill.com ring, that signifies the 22 veterans on average who each day are taking their lives. Mr. Trump stated the obvious: that the challenges cast upon these young men and women by a system that lets them down seems too great to overcome.

And your OP makes me think you are intentionally taking Trump's words out of context. Observe what Col. Alan West has to say about this:

Unlike you, he was actually at Trump's speech and heard the whole thing.

Oh look..The exact same thread by another person with zero reading comprehension or the ability to look past the headline and get the context.
Why would Trump or any presidential candidate ever need to discuss the psychological problems of soldiers? How could that ever help?
