McCain’s obnoxious RINOness aside, Trump was dead wrong to sh*t on his military service, ESPECIALLY when Trump himself couldn’t be bothered to serve in uniform himself. If he had an ounce of humility, he’d acknowledge he went too far. But then again, we’re talking about a guy who says he can’t remember ever asking God for forgiveness.

Frank Luntz, who was leading the Q&A session, repeatedly protested, “He’s a war hero.”

Trump responded, “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured, okay? I hate to tell you.” Trump re-iterated, “He’s a war hero because he was capture, okay? You can have — and I believe — perhaps he’s a war hero, but right now, he said some very bad things about a lot of people. So, what I said is, John McCain, I disagree with him, that these people aren’t crazy.”

Any sources whether he leaves the lid up? Does he kick dogs? Did he pass a US flag without saluting? Are the tags you’re not supposed to tear off a mattress under penalty of law, still on his mattress? Are the propellants of his hair spray ozone friendly?

Winners want to know: Does he disturb, dismay, demoralize disintegrate and defy the opposition?

You really should read “War is a Racket” by Marine Corps General Smedley Butler before speaking again. Gen Butler legitimately won a chest full of medals including winning the Congressional Medal of Honor TWICE...

War is the product of big business and international financiers. Hitler would have gone no where without I.G. Farben and the like supporting him... Businessmen financed and promoted the ‘3rd Reich’.

I served in Vietnam, I am a disabled veteran (not bitter, love my country) and I don’t hold it agains Trump that he was smart enough to not get involved. Once the military industrial complex had made enough money and the public turned against the war we forgot about the blood, lives, and limbs of tens of thousands of American boys and got out until the next money making crisis presented itself... Not cynical, just a history major...
