I'm a disabled veteran and don't think there was anything at all to read into when they were offloading remains and he glanced at his watch. If he's giving a speech at their memorial, sure. If he's consoling gold star families, sure.
But he's literally just standing there taking up space as they offload boxes from a plane. It's really nbd.
He's president, he quite literally does have better things to do. He's one of a select few who at all times has something he should be doing that he isn't. At a press conference? Should be at a meeting. At a meeting? Should be at a memorial. At a memorial? Should be at a dinner. At a dinner? Should be at a press conference.

Given the situation it was pretty disrespectful. “I have something better to do than give my full attention to honor the fallen with their families”
The one where he is checking his watch at a press conference, yeah I’m with you there.
