As a veteran of the US Air Force and a lover of democracy, I do not know how any veteran can support Trump. He was a draft dodger during the Vietnam war. As President he called military members losers and suckers because there was nothing in their service to benefit them. He skipped the memorial service for the fallen of WWI in 2018 because it was raining. Gen. John Kelly is the source for this. Trump supports Putin, a murderous dictator, who had numerous people assassinated, most recently Navalny in Russia because they opposed him. He took classified documents to his residence and left them unsecured for over a year. He opposes aide to Ukraine at Putin’s behest. He threatens not to support NATO allies if they are attacked by Russia. Yet this is who the Republican leadership and party bows down to. If you want a dictator, ask the victims of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or any dictator how that worked.
