I served under eight commanders in chief. Trump doesn’t grasp the role.

For Trump, trouble began on several of these fronts before he was even in office. He dismissed the service and sacrifice of Sen. John McCain and, by implication, all those who had suffered as prisoners of war. “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said while campaigning in Iowa. “I like people who weren’t captured.” He engaged in a back-and-forth with Khizr and Ghazala Khan, Gold Star parents whose son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan, died in combat.

Where there is smoke.......

I was at Fort Irwin after returning from Desert Storm. This ass clown was the post commander.

He had a hang up that running formations didn’t salute his wife Gert, when she rolled around post in the morning. He apparently threw a tantrum in front of his Chief of Staff over that one in a fairly public setting.

My troop commander once stated “I wouldn’t follow that guy out of a burning church out of sheer curiosity”

A complete pompous POS.

The same guy who as a presidential candidate gushed in 2004 how his backer Soros “represents the best in America.”

I thought I read that the military officer corps mostly supported Hillary. Trump's support comes from the enlisted ranks.

After 8 years of Clinton and 8 years of Obama ... officers aren't what they used to be.

Almost starting WW3 is not a career enhancer, Wesley, not is this statement. To quote Cdr. Riker- shut up, Wesley!

He dismissed the service and sacrifice of Sen. John McCain and, by implication, all those who had suffered as prisoners of war. “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said while campaigning in Iowa. “I like people who weren’t captured.”

For background, there is no defense of candidate Trump's statement. As a Trump supporter, voter, and voting-friends convincer (and a major McCain critic) this is the statement that this Veteran cannot abide by President Trump.

That aside, Weaselly Clark's thesis is odd, given that neither Mister Clinton nor Mister Obama knew or cared a thing about our precious Military (and our Military's vital missions), and seemed to take delight in defunding, disarming, and demoralizing via deviate acceptance mandates.

Who gives a dam what Weasely Clark - the very definition of a "Perfumed Prince" - thinks about a real President, President Donald J. Trump?

After all, he loved Bubba Clintoon and The Bamster. That tells me all I need to know about this worthless globalist poofter who somehow brownnosed his way to some stars on his shoulders.
