Me I think trumps a traitorous piece of shit. He’s never had my support. He has yours. So you agree with him. So which are you, a loser, or a sucker?
Yes let’s not mention John McCain
Neither - I will continue to work with my fellow Veterans and honor them. You are entitled to your views and millions have died serving our country so you and others freely can.
LOL Trump shitting on him handed us two senators :lmaoQuote:

The president you passively aggressively support on here thinks you are. You want him as you leader. That’s what he thinks of you/us. You agree with him.Quote:

I’m actually empowering you. You finally get a choice. Which do you identify as, a loser or a sucker?Quote:

War is ABOVE ALL a Capitalistic BUSINES
Generals Get Fat and Happy on War
The colonels and generals who commanded at high levels during my 2011-12 Afghan surge tour may have lost the war, but they sure won the personal prosperity battle.
The Generals Cash In
To summarize and generalize, the generals (no pun intended) are
mostly working in the corporate defense industry,
strategic and security consulting,
and/or at a trans-partisan array of hawkish think tanks that provide “scholarly” justification for their own windfalls.
These organizations hardly hire the retired generals as a thanks for their service – nor for any specific technical knowledge per se – but rather
for their relationships Rolodex, insider knowledge, and influence with former subordinates now headed to the helm.
That’s where most of the colonels from my – and let’s be honest, everyone’s – Afghan tour come in.
They’ve either risen to key command and decisional positions or themselves retired, and
followed their former masters into parallel subordinate roles at the very same defense contractors, consultancies, or think tanks.

meanwhile,100Ks of enlisted people are homeless, PSTD victims, maimed, limbless, in poverty, committing substance abuse and suicide.
I wonder which label widowmaker thinks he is, a loser or a sucker?
Obviously a step up from you who lives to label peopleQuote:

Trump was late at Arlington this morning. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month must not mean very much to him.
WWI was a horrid war.
anyone wearing their poppy flower.
I is.
I’ll take it that’s a “no”.Quote:

There is some real truth to this but I have met many true heroes in a long military career and many more made extensive sacrifices of some sort or another. I had the honor of as a public health doctor going to several dozen countries and was proud to serve this one. We did have some bad apples and slackers but that was a minority. But there are many other brave people in many professions and circumstances so agree with you on that point.Quote:

Did all you vets wear your poppy flower?
Somethings do not deserve a response but thanks for your input anyway.Quote:

I thought DMC was *suggesting* that bravery is generically laudable, and martial glory is overrated. I see how some might take that as a dig at military service generally, I didn't.Quote:
