My own toughness is questionable. However, in the 1960s I served in a Marine Corps infantry platoon in Viet Nam. The men I served with were tough. They served in dire circumstances. Yet, every time I visit Tucson’s Veterans Administration I am faced with a large picture showing Donald Trump’s scowling visage. He is what we called phony tough. He is an inveterate bully pretending to be so.
