"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong."

Memorial Day, as veterans are quick to point out, is a day to remember America's fallen warriors—not the former ones. (That's Veteran's Day). But it turns out America's military has quite a bit to celebrate this year—in large part thanks to President Trump.
When Donald Trump first took office, "Americans really didn't know if this guy was going to get us into a war," says Real Clear Politics pollster Sean Trende. "There was real worry about how risky it was to elect him president."
Among military hawks, the concern was Trump's "America First" rhetoric leading to U.S. withdrawal from the world, with less support for the Defense Department and its mission.
Instead, this Memorial Day America's military's budget is bursting at its seams, soldiers' paychecks are getting bigger, its Special Forces are deployed in record numbers, and U.S. troops are on the ground in significant numbers in Afghanistan and Syria. For a foreign policy establishment that once worried Mr. Trump might abandon NATO and pull troops from abroad, this is a major turnaround.
When asked to describe the mood at the Pentagon thus far during the Trump presidency, longtime DOD reporter Jamie McIntyre says "they're keeping their heads down, but they're happy." McIntyre, now the author of the Daily on Defense newsletter, says the DoD is "very happy with the budget President Trump signed -- they feel like that was absolutely vital. And they're also happy with the role he has given [Defense] Secretary Mattis on the world stage."(continued)

“Trump’s approval was highest among the rank-and-file soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines (48 percent), and lowest among officers (30 percent).”
I haven’t found any Hillary supporters among the officer ranks, but then I didn’t talk to any of the Dark Side (O6 and above).
Trump is the first President since Reagan that I’d have no problem going to war/combat for....
See B.S. tries to emphasize negatives for President Trump, but they had a hard time doing it.
President Trump’s support in the military is huge... during the Obama adminstration, they learned to keep their mouth shut.

Regardless, the hard left POS was just pretending he gives a crap about American service members, alive or dead.

13 Oct 2016: Real Clear Politics: Where the Race Stands With 26 Days to Go
by Sean Trende
The past few weeks have not been kind to Donald Trump...
The Republican nominee might not be in his current predicament had he performed as well in the first debate as he did in the second, but regardless, he now finds himself down 5.5 points in the four-way RCP Average...
If Trump were to be “best behavior” Trump for the remaining four weeks and conduct himself in the third debate as he did in the second, he might close the gap again. Indeed, the NBC/WSJ poll released over the weekend actually suggests Trump made up some ground in the aftermath of the debate.
But I don’t think that will happen...
More importantly, though, I don’t think Clinton and the Democrats will let him. Stu White, a good friend of mine from college who has gone on to become a military historian, brought to my attention an analogy that might be apt – the theory of how to “disintegrate” an army, by 19th century Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz. You don’t pound the opposing force incessantly. Rather, you operate in short bursts, allowing the army time to regroup, before pounding it again. The fighting forces won’t disperse, but they can’t get their footing either; you continue this strategy until nothing is left...
The Clintons are masterful manipulators of the media, and I suspect that every three or four days, a new bombshell will drop, each one a bit more powerful than the last...

Obama Mispronounces ‘Corpsman’

“He reads the teleprompter just fine. It’s spelled the way he’s pronouncing it, but it’s pronounced: kohr-muhn.”

There is still real worry about entrusting CBS to present only the truth.

Well, I wish he would pull troops from abroad and abandon NATO for the dinosaur it is.
