trump's comments on the military

[gopiscrap]

I don't know why it pisses me off so much, but his statements about those who get injured, die and or MoH awardees drives me nuts.

I guess it is because I lost my father to war when I was 7 years old. My dad was a Sargent Major with 19 years of service. He enlisted as a 17 year old in World War II, posed as a clerk in an East German Hotel, got shot in Korea and then shot again in Vietnam in January 1961. He died from those injuries on Dec 18, 1964. I can tell you first hand he pain of losing your father when you are 7. I can tell you the pain of my German mom who became a widow at such an early age.

But more than that, to me, what noble honor and sacrifice it is of those who gave their lives or were never the same again after serving on our behalf. As a naturalized citizen, I learned to internalize service to one's nation. While not serving in the military, I did work for my chosen State of Washington and also led a City of Tacoma initiative and ran for US Congress.

So trump, you selfish, heartless bastard: you can go a shove your bone spurs up you big fat orange ass!!!!

Thanks for letting me rant!!!!

1. I Totally Agree With All You Said But I'm Still Blown Away That....

if you talk to veterans that are members of the VFW or American Legion - they still support Tr**p and the Repugs. I'll never figure out why given all we know about how Tr**p and the Repugs think about their sacrifices.

2. I agree with you, I am mystified also

my guess is two things: watching FOX and being poorly educated in Civics, then there is also racism and greed
