Is there really any reason to believe Trump actually cares about those in the armed forces?

[MarathonMike]

He's insulted war heroes and their parents...

He didn't insult a war hero's parent. He responded to an unprovoked and unwarranted attack by a hero's father.

I think it's downright laughable when you criticize him for not being pro military when the Democrats used the Khans by parading them up on stage at their convention.

We see how much good it did them. I know people who didn't vote for Clinton because of that little stunt...

The latest example of Trump forcing West Point cadets to come back so he could give a commencement address, despite the ongoing pandemic.

My cousin's son was in that class. To a man, every single cadet was proud to sit their and be addressed by their Commander In Chief, and theirs are the only opinions which matter.

If you're so ******* concerned about the pandemic, why aren't you speaking out against the looters and rioters and protesters?

You're a hypocrite...

Good call, Kizir Khan standing on his son's grave waving his pocket Constitution around like some backwater minister. That might have been the most disgusting thing I've ever seen at a political convention.

 

[Billy000]

If you know anyone who is active duty, ask them who they are voting for. /thread

Hard to say. There is growing number who refuse to support him. Would they vote for Biden? Probably not. They just realize how ******* stupid Trump is and remember his draft dodging because he’s a coward.

Biden dodged the draft also, you nitwit




Due to this deferment he was accused of draft dodging by political opponents. Joe Biden, a former U.S. vice president and senator who vied for the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 2020, as well as earlier in his career, was excused from military service in 1968 because of asthma as a teenager.

Lol who made the accusation? Political opponents. Where is their evidence he didn’t have asthma? Trump’s fatass clearly doesn’t have an issue with “bone spurs”.

Asthma? It's just like bone spurs...minor

I don’t think you even know what asthma is.

I would say he cares about the armed more than any Democrat does the left loves them when former military people trash any Republican otherwise you don't give a dam about them.

Trump doesn't really respect members of the military. He uses them as props.

Trump loves to bask in the reflected glory of veterans, but he has no use for them once they don't conveniently fit in with his preferred narrative.

www.yahoo.com

“President Donald Trump loves military parades and quoting from the film "Patton," but when it comes to actually treating military personnel and their families with respect, he's got a mixed record.

He's insulted war heroes and their parents, lambasted generals as "dopes and babies," and blithely dismissed the symptoms of soldiers with traumatic brain injuries.

Trump also pardoned a convicted war criminal against the objections of the men and women he served with, who described him as "freaking evil."

The latest example of Trump forcing West Point cadets to come back so he could give a commencement address, despite the ongoing pandemic.

Throughout his decades in public life, Trump has epitomized the idea of hollow, performative patriotism.”

So your upset that cadets were at West Point and kept social distance and had face masks yet I have no doubt that you are applauding the rioters that are not using social distancing and not wearing masks. As far as the military all you have to do is look at things like the funding for the military versus the last guy. Or the fact that Trump signed objects that service members had with them while 44 had to hand out things so that he could get a photo op of him signing things.

War hero? Who? About the only comment I recall him saying was that Senator John McCain wasn't a hero. Having served a career in the military, I don't find fault with that. The only military personnel I put into the category of "hero," are those that earn the Medal of Honor, whether they've earned it and survived, or earned it posthumously. All others, personal courage and sacrifice, yes. Hero...no. People these days, banter that word about way too loosely.
As for military generals, the last I checked, your precious Obama, fired 197 officers. The reason: They wouldn't agree to fire on US citizens if he ordered it. The very few whining active duty generals that complain about him are no doubt Obama appointees that agreed to his request. Also, as someone who served. Whether you are enlisted or officer, you are not allowed to publicly chastise those senior to you. If you have a complaint about your superior, you request a meeting or if the officer/enlisted is over you but much further up the chain, you meet with your immediate superior and request to meet with that individual and your immediate superior will decide if you can. If denied, you can submit a written statement, but be prepared for major blowback. Generals must speak with the next highest general in ranking and if there is no higher, then that individual requests a meeting with the Commander-in-Chief, not complain to the media. Patton and MacArthur learned the hard way to shut-the-hell-up.
Once an officer or enlisted is no longer active duty, they can ***** to the media all they like, but not while on active duty.
Any president can pardon any convicted prisoner he wishes. It's right in there in the Constitution. As for the prisoner you are referring to, there was and is conflicting information as to the facts. That said, we are in a war against an enemy that if they capture one of our troops, will cut off their head with a dull knife and otherwise mutilate the corpse. So, as far as I'm concerned, the guy could go out there and kill as many as he wishes in any way he wishes. Every time Trump talks about pulling troops out of there, a combination of Democrat and Republican politicians keep advising otherwise.
Your last point...coronavirus, coronavirus, coronavirus. Frankly, I'm tired of hearing about it. I did a check as to how many people are cited as being infected here, versus the overall population in our area.....the outcome... .053%. That's not even a half of a percent. Not even a tenth of a percent. It's five one-hundredths of a percent. As we've got bear in the area we stand a better chance of being bitten by a bear in town than catching the coronavirus....yet for some strange reason I don't see people running around screaming that we must have bear spray on our hips.
Viruses come and go and people die from them.

Nobody sane cares if he cares...so long as his policies shows that he cares. See, that’s the difference between us and you Loons...we don’t look to presidents for coddling...we look to them for governance that continues America’s storied history of dominance.

But it’s not like your dumbass can even point to list of policies from Trump that shows he cares. All of his core campaign promises have turned into
failures and you pretend otherwise for some childish reason.

Speaking of insulting war heros...

What do you think about Puke Pelosi giving the brother of George Floyd a folded flag?

You know... like they give the next of kin/family after a military funeral.

Well technically none because by failures I obviously mean failed campaign promises. Of course even then you’d have to be a moron to think a goddamn wall is going to better the lives of everyday Americans. No amount of your racism is going to make that a reality.

"Freaking evil" is not a crime. It's in the same category as numerous other falsified and made up girly-girly sex charges filed against conservative servicemen at court martial by DEMOCRAT Commissioned Officers.

You’re just taking inventory of all these anti-military Trump examples and putting them in a box and saying “so what?” It’s disingenuous and ******* stupid. You’ll say anything to defend this toddler. If Obama did any of these things you would whine like a little *****.

You can't teach jack shit. Poverty itself creates crime - not illegal immigration itself. Again, if we had zero illegal immigrants in this country, we would obviously still have gentrification.

Christ, if we deported all illegal immigrants tomorrow, its not like business owners nationwide would collectively say "well all the Mexicans are gone. Now I'll start paying my white employees more. Why? I don't know. I'm just a good person I guess."
