The first paragraph has its standard "support the troops" spin, which you should expect from politicians yesterday who wrapped themselves in the flag (and who should be set on fire accordingly).

The Trumpian use of capitalization in the second paragraph enables Fetterman to play the "you took my words out of context" card with the left and further persuades the right that strokes are good and make everybody think more clearly. But those caps and flag at the end of post are contextual tells, Senator. You support this imperialistic crap.
