"Mr. President, I don't want to be rude, but I am not one of your supporters.

Thank you for your phone call to acknowledge my loss.  I'd rather not discuss it with you at this time."

That's all that a grieving person needs to say to end a conversation that she doesn't want to have.

There is NOBODY who is part of the U.S. Government who wants American soldiers to die, who doesn't care if they do, or who has no authentic sympathy for the spouses, friends and family of those who survive the deceased.
