HOW DO PRESENT AND FORMER MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY CONTINUE TO JUSTIFY SUPPORTING DONALD TRUMP TO RESUME THE ROLE OF COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF? HIS COMMENTS ABOUT THE MEDAL OF HONOR SHOWED HIS STUPIDITY AND DISRESPECT FOR VETERANS AND ACTIVE SERVICEMEN.
He consistently shows his ignorance about military practices and his lack of respect for those who have been injured, captured, or killed. His statement this past week revealed his complete ignorance about the sacredness of the medal of honor. He has no clue that the medal of honor stands for bravery, not for just being injured in combat. WHAT IS WRONG WITH VETERANS AND SERVICEMEN WHO TRUST TRUMP TO LEAD THEM INTO BATTLE OR PROTECT THEIR BENEFITS?Trump dodged the draft with a claim he had painful heel bone spurs, He applied for college deferrment four times. When college deferrments ran out, he applied for a medical deferrment based on the claim of painful heel bone spurs. Bone spurs are not an automatic qualification for deferrment from the military. Physicians say the majority of bone spurs cause no pain or physical limitations. Many people don’t even know they have them. The ex- Commander-in- Chief made heroic efforts not to serve his country. Records of his medical exam and diagnosis of bone spurs were never produced for corroboration.
Remember The Disrespect Trump Showed To John McCain?
After these comments, no sevicemen or veteran can credibly call themselves patriotic if they continue support Trump. Besides hugging the flag and professing “I love the military,” he has done nothing to help our men and women in uniform. Senator John McCain was held hostage and tortured during his service during the Viet Nam War. He suffered permanent injury to his right arm. He also refused to be released from captivity unless the rest of his men were also released. TRUMP HAS BEEN QUOTED SAYING ” NOT GETTING AN STD IN THE 1980s WAS HIS PERSONAL VIET NAM.”Trump has been degrading and attacking members of the military since he won and lost the presidency. Gold star families, like Khzir Kahn, have also been targets of Trump’s attacks with their only offense being their opposition to him. Trump cares about loyalty and power over love for the military. Members of the military have been duped. Humilating others is an experience Trump seems to enjoy, and members of the military are no exceptions. People suffering from shame and low self-esteem will try to diminish others to elevate themselves. Example: Trump has declared ” I knew more than the generals.” If that isn’t stupid, what is”?These kind of false, grandiose statements makes it impossible to understand how any person who has served in the military can think Trump understands or respects their service and sacrifice. His narcissism, delusional thinking, and lack of understanding about bravery, sacrifice, and true love of country renders him unfit to be president. GENERAL KELLY, GENERAL MATTIS, GENERAL MILLEY, AND ALL THE OTHER GENERALS, ADMIRALS, AND COLONELS WHO KNOW TRUMP IS A DANGER TO AMERICA’S NATIONAL SECURITY MUST URGE TROOPS AND VETERANS TO NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP.
