    ‘He had always treated us right’ lmfao. And they didn’t get a medical discharge for blindness? Because they are blind.

    • Dodged Vietnam by making up a case of ‘bone spurs’ that magically disappeared afterward
    • ‘I like people who weren’t captured’ to POW and war hero John McCain, repeatedly
    • 2018, Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris. ‘In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.’
    • Called retired 4-star general John Allen a ‘failed general’, a cursory glance at his Wikipedia page or defense.gov page should illustrate why that’s absurd.
    • skipped out on visits to nearly every military cemetery he’s ever been invited to, usually because he’s afraid of the rain. He’s more worried about getting his hairpiece wet than he is worried about paying respect to men and women who died for America to lead to him standing where he is. After seeing his visit to Arlington that’s probably a good thing that he’s afraid of the rain and didn’t go to the others.

    And those are just the really big and obvious ones that I remember and can easily look up quotes about. I guarantee you that’s not even a third of the list of the times he’s actively disrespected the military.

    Trump doesn’t give half a fuck about you guys, you are not people in his eyes, you’re just guns on legs. He thinks it is your destiny to go die making him a profit, for the simple reason that you are a lower class than he is. If you listen to the statements that come out of his very own mouth it is obvious how he feels this way.
