Perhaps he should have stayed silent.
So, they do know what they are signing up for. Because they know what they are signing up for makes it even more brave. Seriously, hang around an Army base sometime. If we were issued a weapon, told to write a will and mark our #'s on our arms some of us would be crying for mommy. There is nothing wrong with what he said, I'm sick of the fake outrage.

I guess they can't handle the truth. At least the widows get some comfort these days. I remember during Vietnam (husband is a Viet Vet), there were NO congressional escorts, presidential phone call, comfort, consideration, 500k insurance coverage, 300k GoFundMe account, lifetime healthcare, free college for a KIA vet's kids. 58,000 dead Americans received nothing but scorn from their country. Sorry, but I can't have much sympathy here. My husband was drafted (aka conscripted into slavery) and served in Vietnam for twelve cents an hour pay with no benefits after his duty ended, was exposed to Agent Orange, had a daughter with a birth defect and has had cancer himself twice. The services these days are like a job, they hire on and do their jobs and getting killed is a potential element of the job.

Really grasping a straws now which tells me they have no real news to report .
Perhaps they should get a Twitter account because everything trump has to say can be found there lol
This isn't the first time Trump has stated he has "proof" and then nothing comes of it or he's proven a liar yet again.

It's amazing how blind people can become once indoctrinated into a belief.

People take that risk when they sign up for military service at a recruiter's office.

Trump always has PROOF but somehow he keeps it to himself.

Are you implying that I'm without common sense?

You're probably right. But why so much outrage?

Did this congresswoman jump on this so hard because of the pending Clinton Russia Uranium situation?

"The job you signed up for is not easy. It can mean long shifts and late nights. It demands focus, and determination, and great bravery in the face of unknown dangers. When you run into that building or chase down that suspect, you will be risking your own life in order to protect the lives of men and women you have never met, and some that you may never know.

But you knew all that when you joined the academy. You knew the risks involved, you knew the sacrifices required, and yet you stood up and said, ‘I’ll take that risk. I’ll make that sacrifice. I will do that job."

President Obama

Clairvoyance my foot. One semester of psychiatric nursing plus years in an ER, helps me identify a Cluster B personality disorder. Simple as that.

I’m aware military personnel are just “casualties” to the POLITICIANS who don’t give a crap and the CIVILIANS who talk out of both sides of their mouths.

That’s why the long military tradition in my family WILL END with my grandchildren. Not one of them will serve in the armed forces. Not one.




Complete bias in the news media is very current and quite relevant.
