I don’t understand how any military veteran can support Donald Trump. During his presidency, he called those who died in defense of their country suckers and losers. By extension, in his view, anyone who serves in the military must be suckers and losers since they are there to defend our country. His disdain for those who died in battle was plain to see when he failed to attend a memorial for WWI servicemen at a U.S. cemetery in France “because of rain”. Trump dodged the draft, not for moral reasons, but rather a specious claim of bone spurs which he said did not allow him to serve. His disdain for Senator McCain’s heroism was pathetic for a man who never served. His claim that he knows more than the generals is laughable, but scary. Hate filled and divisive, if elected again, expect worse.
