I just happened to catch his b*tch slap to the ABC news crud. It was wonderful. Donald J Trump is a pure bread, American alpha male, with the mind of a stable genius. We need that video so all can enjoy!

His predecessor was okay with it. Seemed to enjoy it, in fact….

We haven’t won a war with total goal of winning it since 1945.

Either you fight to win (and take the booty) or you build up your materials and men and prepare to show your enemies you are ready. You don’t send out troops to be killed with no winning plan.

Too many generals are ignoring or ignorant of Sun Tzu

Nice way to crap on the ultimate sacrifices our fallen military members have made and make their families feel like shit.

There's a reason why the U.S. doesn't fight wars to "win" anymore.

We don't fight wars anymore, period.

Instead, for the last 50+ years we have been doing nothing more than sending our military to take sides in civil wars all over the world. And we've been doing that because our elected leaders in Washington have been selling themselves to foreign interests for all that time.

You can't "fight to win" by destroying the enemy when the whole purpose of a military campaign is to help one side in a civil war get control of the government without destroying the place.

So, are you saying you are NOT weary of the coffins coming home?

I sure am, and I deploy over there regularly. Would be nice to have a leader who is tired of the status quo and gets us out of those places.

Or are you volunteering? Because he is not c******g on their sacrifice, he is tired of them having to sacrifice.

I think you need to hear the President discuss this duty and how he feels about it in greater context:

Some red hot neocon hyperbole right here.

Point to one military family who wants more dead service members to help assuage their loss.

Our military freely signed up to serve knowing the risks and continue to do so.
How about you quit the military and join welfare instead of turning our expensive military into a welfare system.

I’ll join the military to fight after I join the the police to catch criminals and the fire department to fight fire, because that makes sense to you.

The president saying our soldiers died needlessly is pathetic.

Nonsense. You reason like the typical liberaltarian. That is not the mission of our military.
Point to one military family who are happy to hear the president crap on the ultimate sacrifice of a loved one.

“The president ... is pathetic.”

Be patient, you’ll have your chance to vote for Warren or Bernie or Beto (or Hillary) - ie whoever is the Dem nominee - in the general election of Nov 2020. Your candidate won’t win - Trump will be re-elected — but at least you’ll have a chance to act on your sympathies in the ballot box
