Wrong idea. Green energy is only expensive in the starting process in the beginning. Afterwards it will be much more cheaper. That's why superrich US-Americans wait for the poor to realize this system.

Trump has always supported the military. ...

How?

...
In private industry someone supervising six people would be a lead man or at best a first level manager bringing in less after taxes than you were

?

Trump has always supported the military. Trying to divide this nation via lies will ultimately fail.

Really?

When did he support the military when he learned that putin was putting bounties on the heads of our military?

He has done nothing about it and has said he didn't think it was important.

If he supported our military he would have at least condemned what putin is doing but he has not even done that. In fact, he defends putin.

Those of us who have actually served in the US military aren't blind.

Wow, more commie lies, DOD said there was zero evidence to support this propaganda.

I can't agree more with him. Thank you General Eaton.

I'm a vet. My dad, my sister, a couple cousins are vets. I had an uncle who died in the Bataan March. I never got to meet him because the Japanese murdered him in WW II.

He gave his life for this nation. According to trump my uncle was a loser and sucker.

The story in the Atlantic is fake news.

Tell that to the Major General and the people who were there and heard him say it.

The Major General didn't hear President Trump say anything, he read the Atlantic article

I didn't say he did.

I told you to tell that to the Major General and those who did hear him say it.

You don't have the guts to do that.

The Major General has obviously checked out if that article is true or not. He wouldn't have made that video if he didn't know it was true.

Try another deflection and lie.

You're really good at assumptions aren't you? Funny how the other 10 people who were in the room didn't hear it and they went on the record, unlike the liars.

How I can support Trump He's the first politician that kept his promises and he did it with democrats fighting him every step of the way and it didn't matter if fighting him was bad for the country they still did it. Everything democrats did to Trump as falsifying evidence, thousands of witnesses that didn't have anything to say as proof just all given an hour to run their mouth. The other person running for president took billions from China and cut himself in where ever he could. Almost as corrupt as Hillary, pelosi, Waters, Finstine, 0bama, and all the rest who are always trying to take my freedom that you seem to ignore or already sold.

Both parties are full of criminals but democrats are moral-less, evil, Godless, Communist, socialist and their actions have made them treasonous. But you see it just as well as everybody else. But you support this TREASONOUS scum. Never would I vote for anyone trying to turn this nation into something it was never meant to be. i would never vote for a group wanting to disarm me and have always want more power and money. That's why I would kill one before I would vote for one

That's how I support Trump and the Constitution. Hope that answers your question. Now maybe you can answer one of mind. What issue do you support that isn't godless, evil,criminal, and treasonous? How do you support a party that now allows out right murder. Babies breathing who's hearts are beating and lungs breathing oxygen. Your party gives genocide a good name. You were drafted as no democrat serves in the military.If you are trying to show some false patriotism. No such democRat.

BTW, Buck Privates in the US Army are paid a lot more than those in the Iranian Army, Turkish Army or North Korean Army, as well as many of our other competitors.

Is that something to be proud of?

It shows that America pays a competitive wage to their soldiers and sailors. And did under Obama and Bush as well.

Competitive wage my ass. When I retired back in 2002, I was being paid as an E-6 over 20 years, and was only pulling down 36,000 per year. If I had been working in a civilian company, doing what I did my last tour? I would have been a manager of a satellite office that employed 6 people, and was responsible for overseeing the screening of 71 to 100 people per month. The civilian equivalent of my job at MEPS would have been pulling down 120,000 to 150,000/yr. No, people don't join the military for the paycheck, they do it for other reasons. And, for those who were looking to make money, most of them leave after their first or second enlistment, as they aren't happy with the wages the military pays.

No, the military doesn't pay a competitive wage. Matter of fact, when I retired in 2002, those at the paygrade of E-5 and below were eligible for WIC assistance. Whenever a member of my command had a new kid, I would refer them to WIC so they could make ends meet, as babies are expensive.

Thirty six grand plus BAS (basic allowance subsistence), BAQ (basic allowance quarters), subsidized prices at the commissary and PX, free uniform cleaning, low cost dry cleaning and haircuts, freedom from local taxes, no sales or excise tax for items bought on base. Shall I go on? And what the hell were you doing as an E-6 at twenty years? I wasn’t any super soldier and I made E-5 in four years in the Army in the early seventies. A E-6 with eight years in grade makes nearly thirty seven hundred bucks a month plus allowances right now.
Finally, military pay and benefits are set by Congress, NOT the president, so take your bull rap grievance up with a Nancy Pelosi.

Really? Free uniform cleaning? Who did you hear that from? The only time I had my uniforms cleaned for free was when I put my dungarees in the laundry bag and sent it down to the laundry. However, I still had to take an iron to them to make them fit for wearing. Haircuts? Yes, they were free as long as I got them on the ship, but many barbers were just learning. Whenever we pulled out on deployment, there were quite a few of us that shaved our heads to keep from getting the crappy haircuts that the ship's barber offered.

As far as what was I doing as an E-6 over 20 years? Personnelman (PN) at the time I was in was CREO group 3, meaning that only 10 percent of those who passed the test were advanced. When I made E-6, my LT wondered how the hell I had done it, as I was the only one advanced in my particular district. Glad to see that an E-6 is making 1,000 more dollars per year than I did back in 2002, but it still sucks as far as a living. And yeah, you're right, Congress says how much the military gets for a pay raise, not the president, but if you had read this whole thread, you would know I said that.

And lastly, basic allowance for subsistance was called COMRATS when I was in (Commuted Rations) which was only 5.25 per day. Not enough to feed myself without chipping in, and definitely not enough to feed a family of 2, much less 3 if you have a kid. You obviously have never spent time in the military, nor do you understand what the pay scales are. I do, as that was my job as a Personnelman.

When the left makes stuff up, they should tone it down a bit. This one is so outrageous, it is ridiculous.

What does Biden think of John Kerry's thoughts on Vietnam War vets, that they had "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in the fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam"

By association, I am sure Biden feels the same.

Any of that not true?

All of it. Now the VC and NVA were routinely guilty of all those things as a matter of policy.

US Troops doing what Kerry claimed is well documented

I don't know where the person you replied to gets their lies but green energy is very good for the economy.

My state started building one of the nation's largest wind farms in the 90s.

We don't use fossil fuels for energy here. We use water, wind, solar and natural gas.

We started closing down our last coal fire plant in 2005 it should be finished being shut down by now.

We have the second lowest energy rates in the nation.

That means the poor and everyone else in my state has very low energy costs for our homes.

Which benefits the poor and everyone else.

Green energy is very good for everyone. It's not expensive at all. Unless people consider a monthly electric bill of around 35 dollars expensive.

Unlike this guy, my service to my country never ends...as for his opinion, as they say, opinions are like a-holes...everyone has one.

He has done nothing about it and has said he didn't think it was important.

If he supported our military he would have at least condemned what putin is doing but he has not even done that. In fact, he defends putin.

Those of us who have actually served in the US military aren't blind.

Trump lies when he claims to support our military and their families. 20.000 enlisted personnel families require SNAP Benefits:

SNAP, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is intended to help low-income families buy food and keep their loved ones fed.

Yep because they are too low ranking to qualify for quarters or housing allowances. Why is it Trump’s fault That lower grade enlisted men decide to have families?

Attack on "lower grade enlisted" personnel for having families is so callous, but callousness is one characteristic of Trump and Trump supporters.

I served a career in the military and I stand with Trump, who stands with the military. Period.

So, you don't speak for all active and retired armed force members.

Why is anyone suspicious about Trump's opinions of those who value anything more than money?

Trump Refuses to Take Back McCain Smear, Pats Himself on the Back

"President Donald Trump responded on Friday to reports that he denigrated the military—by refusing to take back his smear of the late Sen. John McCain’s military service and trashing his former chief of staff, retired Marine Corps general John Kelly.

"The president trained his fury on a bombshell story in The Atlantic Thursday night that claimed Trump skipped a visit to the hallowed World War I Aisne-Marne American Cemetery because, in his words, 'it’s filled with losers.'

"According to the magazine’s sourcing, Trump made several disturbing comments about fallen members of the nation’s armed forces.

"Following The Atlantic’s story, The Associated Press, Fox News and The Washington Post published similar reports.

"The Post, citing their own source, wrote 'that the president frequently made disparaging comments about veterans and soldiers missing in action, referring to them at times as 'losers.’”
