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.

I met the pompous little prick at an AUSA Convention. Loved to hear his own voice and never let his own ignorance interfere with his opinions.

A classic National Review: An Army of One: Why Wes Clark's coworkers hated him.

"Interviews with a wide variety of current and retired military officials reveal that Clark was disliked by only three groups: Those whom ranked above him in the chain of command whom he ignored, his peers at the same rank whom he lied to, and those serving beneath him whom he micromanaged. Other than that, everyone liked him."

He also said Bush was incompetent. Yawn. Let me guess, Wes, any President with an “R” next to their name “didn’t grasp the role”, right?

It's undeniable that the majority...the *large* majority...of those who've served in our Armed Forces did so skillfully and honorably.But not *all*!

And when I say "not all" that applies to the lowliest E-1 recruit,the 30 year O-10 and every rank in between.

He’s got it far better than you ever did. As for the other presidents, he got it a lot better than some, and equally as good as one other.

He makes it sound like he was having private conversations with Johnson, Nixon, and Ford.

Clark does not grasp his role. Barack Obama left people to die and caused other unnecessary deaths. If ever there were an inept CIC it was our 44th.

Well, if “grasping it” like most other modern Presidents means being political stiff, stuffed shirts while profiteering huge bucks off from law abiding, hard working citizens he can stick it.

I thought he had disappeared into an obscure but merciful death. Too bad.

Disappeared into thin air. Poof!

“Wes clark. Any further explanation needed?”

None needed, thank you. We know him for what he is - a POS. Any translation needed?

Trump doesn’t grasp the role

Of which I am so thankful that America may return to the founders’ vision of being American.

Thank you and May God bless President Trump.
