While I have a deep appreciation and respect for all those who serve, and have served our nation, I’m certainly not going to browbeat anyone who chose a different path. Look at Juan McCain and John Kerry. They both served, and as far as I’m concerned, were traitors. So, what is your point? A person can support our military without having served in it. And, I believe that Donald Trump does support our military and wants it strong again.

“Look at Juan McCain and John Kerry. They both served, and as far as I’m concerned, were traitors.”

Everything you said was right on point. And it would not matter if McCain were actually a real war hero, it has nothing to do with serving as a legislator. John Glenn went into space, but he was a terrible legislator. So these guys who wrap themselves in the flag for political purposes disgrace their former service by so doing. People recognize real heroes, they don't need to be told to “look at me!” And you can't trade on your exemplary military service if you crapped on your country after the fact. Col Allan West was a real soldier, and he was a real legislator. McCain was neither in my opinion.

I respect your point and agree but I’d like to get an answer from ‘familyop’.

His/her point might be different than yours. I don’t think you meant to answer for him/her but were expressing your own opinion..
