Trump's military insults are piling up

[Guno צְבִי]

Donald Trump's attack on the Navy SEAL commander who oversaw the raid against Osama bin Laden is drawing new attention to the seesaw dynamic of a President who lavishes praise on the military even as he goes after its leaders and heroes.

The President dismissed the highly respected Adm. William McRaven as a "Hillary Clinton fan" and backer of former President Barack Obama in a Sunday interview with Fox News.
The comments drew sharp criticism from former officials, rumbles of dissatisfaction from veterans and veiled expressions of concern that Trump -- or the highly charged political atmosphere under his administration -- may be nudging the strictly nonpartisan military into the arena of politics.

The President has insulted war heroes, prisoners of war, Gold Star families and, some critics say, tried to use the troops to score political points. He's directed 5% cuts at Veterans Affairs, which for some time he left in the control of non-veterans who happened to be members of his Mar-a-Lago club.
He's neglected to visit combat zones, unlike other presidents, suggested troops' midterm election ballots not be counted, passed up Veterans Day ceremonies other leaders made time to attend and repeatedly said he knows more about military issues than generals do.
"These unnecessary unforced errors, when you attack people like Adm. McRaven and (the late Sen. John) McCain, it shows a lack of respect that's just baffling," said Melissa Bryant, chief policy officer at the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, and a veteran of the Iraq War.

Are you a birther?

Trump may be a huge jerk-off...

...but supporters so devoted to him that they are attempting to rationalize his conduct toward the military are jerk-offs on a galactic scale.

Frankly, it is incredible to see the kind of insecurities Trump displays...played out so plainly and so publicly. He had the opportunity of several life-times thrown into his lap...and could have used it to show the world that great good can come from an electoral mistake. Instead, he has squandered the opportunity in ways that defy reason.

In metaphorical terms: May he roast in Hell...and may the people who continue supporting him roast right alongside him.

Are you a birther?

No. Btw, that tactic is lame.

Do you call it the Bin Laden Hoax?

[archives]

Irony is that McRaven never openly supported any political candidate, Hillary, or any other, just another Trump fabrication he made up on the fly to appeal to the Trumpkins

Do you call it the Bin Laden Hoax?

Yes. That doesn't make me a birther. Try using a little logic.

[kudzu]

What possible evidence do you have that Bin Laden was not killed?

What possible evidence do you have that Bin Laden was not killed?

The rest of the world knows that bin Laden was dead by the end of 2001. He had Marfan's disease. The CIA knows exactly where bin Laden was on 9/11. He was in a hospital. He had even recently been visited there by a CIA agent.

Now tell me why you believe the "bin Laden raid" was genuine. Is it because you saw it on television? The first images we saw was Obama, Hillary, Biden and other high ranking military personnel pretending to watch the raid via satellite. That scam didn't last long.

Please answer my question. Other than television, please tell me why you believe it.

You are doing the same thing that Kudzu attempted. You are using a non sequitur. Try again.

OBL didn't have Marfan's disease or kidney disease... He was only 6'4" ..

We didn't see the OBL raid on TV.. You are confused.

Come on hand job, the holocaust was also a fake, along with our moon landings. Did I miss anything sweetie?

You do know that OBL had wives and children living with him in Pakistan..

BTW.. they didn't film or broadcast the OBL raid.
