Navy graduates deride 'physical coward' Trump ahead of Academy commencement address

[cancel2 2022]

Sending a goonish thug to threaten a porn actress in a parking lot is basically a metaphor for the level of bravery we can expect from this outsized Orange Pig.

No, you prefer to intimidate women using Skype instead.

This draft dodging coward, has no business speaking at any military academy commencements!

Two graduates of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., penned an op-ed in The Baltimore Sun questioning President Trump's suitability to deliver the commencement speech to this year's graduating class of midshipmen on Friday.

"It is right and fitting that the president of the United States give a commencement address to a service academy’s graduating class," Daniel Barkhuff and William Burke wrote in Wednesday's edition of the paper. "It is also right and fitting that citizens of the democracy for which these graduates will soon be charged with protecting point out the personal cowardice, narcissism and incompetence of the current president."

Barkhuff and Burke graduated from the Academy in 2001. They now work at Veterans for Responsible Leadership.
They wrote of the sacrifices made by various Naval Academy graduates, such as Sen. John McCain, over the years.

"Contrast this to the personal and professional honor of the sitting president of the United States, who time and again makes small choices guided by self-interest, ego, impulse and immediate self-gratification," they wrote. "He could never do what we ask our U.S. Naval Academy graduates to do. He is a physical coward, a liar and no leader at all."

If their opinion reached Trump, it had no impact on the enthusiastic tone of his address.

"America is back," Trump told the graduates. "We are witnessing the great reawakening of the American spirit and of American might."

Trump also told them that, "In case you haven’t noticed, we have become a lot stronger lately."

I hope this is satire because if these men are truly cadets they just blew their carriers. At a minimum they would be guilty of conduct unbecoming or possibly insubordination. As a member of the military you swear an oath to protect and defend the constitution and to follow the orders of the president. You are not required to respect or even like the president but you are not allowed to publicly show that dislike. Unless things have drastically changed since I retired.

Draft-dodgers are just fine with our RW friends -- as long as they come with an (R) after their name.

And another Lie from the Sleeps in Owl Shit Woman

There are roughly 74 Republican members of congress compared to a whopping 26 Democrat members that are veterans.

Poor BeagleGuy -- still can't grok the ignore function.

these graduates are smart and can evaluate Trumps rhetoric vs reality. Trump is a draft dodger who will spend their lives like currency to help him. He is a horrible user . They are pawns in a brutal game Trump is playing and they don't like it.

You have a funny way of ignoring people. Constantly talking about them and responding to their posts.

I'm not the one finding ways to pucker up to Obama's asshole.

You'd think those two, having graduated from the USNA, wouldn't be such snowflakes and pussies like the vast majority of the left wingers in this country.

Like bone spur?

They graduated back in 2001, and are no longer in the Navy. They are civilians working at a think-tank now.
