That didn't seem to bother Hugh Hewitt. But then again Dubya loved them Mexican slave laborers

GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump will deliver an address on national security and veterans' issues from the USS Iowa, a retired battleship, on Sept. 15.
"Donald Trump is a long-standing supporter of veterans and the military and we are honored that he has chosen our organization and event for his major national security address,” said Joel Arends, chairman of the Veterans for a Strong America (VSA), in a statement on Thursday announcing the event.

If the Gecko can do a commercial about the military on the deck of the Iowa . . .
Seriously, when Trump meets with his military team, he will actually listen to them, unlike Zero and Cankles.
I wonder if Rhianna might make an appearance . . .
When does Trump listen to anyone? Besides, he had a year in military school so he already considers himself an expert on military matters.
Obama would first show his foreign policy cards when he asked Richard Luger to be his mentor. Then when he began his campaign he hired Colin Powell and Dan Shapiro as advisors and Shapiro has had key jobs under Obama. So most knew Obama's policies would be Realist/Pragmatist
Romney would announce his foreign policy advisory team in Sept/Oct 2011 and give a policy speech at the Citadel. Since they were Realists and NeoCons most could predict his foreign policy.
Jeb Bush earlier this year met with both NeoCon Paul Wolfowitz and Realist James Baker.
Most all of the candidates have said or done things that give clues.
Rubio and Walker lean NeoCon. Christie leans Realist. Rand Paul has tried to project himself as a Realist but the way he votes in committee indicates he is an isolationist and his father was an isolationist.
But that doesn't always pan out. George Bush ran as a Realist but became a NeoCon, until 2006 when he shifted to the Realists. Bush started with Scott Bremer(NeoCon) in Iraq then shifted to Petreaus, Allen, and Crocker(Realists). Obama would put these same 3 men in charge of Afghanistan in 2010.
Reagan was a NeoCon in his first term and a Realist in his second term.
Trump likes to talk vaguely but never says anything substantive, whether the subject is foreign policy, immigration, or trade.
Are you curious as to whether Trump would be a unilateralist or a multilateralist? A counter-insurgent or counter-terrorist?

Perhaps he can name of some these guys, er I mean gals...
...all recent Obama promotions.
One thing for sure, should Trump become CinC, we’ll see much better looking women in such confabs.
52 calibers.
That’s awful. And his “God’s green earth” has become a pet peeve. Isn’t it blue?
He’d have to turn back time.
Is deprecating POW’s (and thus their ordeals) an indication of Donald Trump’s “strong support for the military”? You don’t know about this? Or have conveniently acquired amnesia?
Those Trump statements on POW’s and by implication to some on all veterans and those now serving will be put front and center in the election by the Democrats.
Too many Republicans have suddenly acquired amnesia combined with mass myopia.
That isn’t the USS Obama? I’d be willing to bet heavily that Obama has completed more rounds since 2008 than Trump has.
No he doesn't "consider himself an expert." I've never heard him say that. He said he'd "FIND" the best experts. For a businessman over a year away from having to take office, I'd say he was light years ahead of where Eisenhower was, inversely, in his knowledge of commerce/trade/business, or where TR was (who NEVER ran a real business). Every president learns on the job. Governors are notoriously weak on foreign policy, senators great---but usually failures at overall administration. Andrew Jackson didn't know anything about the economy. Lincoln knew far more about business than the military (and was usually ridiculed unfairly for his lack of military knowledge).
I wasn’t trying to bring down the constitution; just making a sarcastic remark to defend free speech. I’m glad you got the point.
It’s unclear whether Cher intended that to be a metaphor for the *endowment* she seeks in a man; or, by emphasizing the *bore* of the armament in juxtaposition to her spread legs, she is suggesting the “hotdog down a hallway” syndrome...

What’s his name, the toesucker, said Clinton didn’t even come CLOSE to making a foreign policy decision for his first two years in office.
