Elitism like this has made the military 7 to 1 Republican. Military doesn't even come close to paying new recruits $15 an hour that they can get anywhere these days. You wouldn't live in a tent in a sandstorm for $1500 a day.

Just where else did visit duding his tenure > other HALF. Trump Has visited NOWHERE?? for past 3 years.. Remember Obama visited these ZONES PRIOR to his gaining OFFICE of POTUS!!!!

https://www.military.com/undertherad...-a-combat-zone
* Obama stops in Iraq to see the troops, April 2009
*Obama stops into Osan Air Base, South Korea, November 2009
*Obama makes his first stop at Bagram Air Base, December 2010 Obama visits the DMZ, South Korea, March 2012

*Obama makes his second trip to Afghanistan, May 2012

* Obama visits Yongsan Garrison, South Korea 2014.

*Obama makes what could be his last trip to Afghanistan, May 2014

And Please NOTE.. The above visited occurred during his first 4 years!!

Where the heck has Heir DJT been other than places he gets his A$$ Ki$$ed ???

ETA~~

NOTE DATE!!
Obama to Be First Sitting President to Visit Hiroshima
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/11/u...ima-visit.html

The reason I added this is because I cannot visualize DJT going back half Century of PAST horrid wars.. and making peace with "Former Enemies!"

There's something in DJT's brain that disables him from accepting anybody ( regardless of who they are) unless YOU SOMEHOW BENEFIT HIM!! That's Trump's ;legacy and believer's also demonstrated by his children and extended Family... Michael Cohen after decade+ soon got that "Correction" !

Didn't the entire Trump family go there last year for Thanksgiving? How exactly did he duck out of something when it was planned all along, done in previous years and completely expected?

It makes one wonder.
Right because Obama would be right there with the soldiers so he could explain in person that he defunded them and was putting them in further danger, while reducing their pay.

Who the hell cares where the President went for Thanksgiving. He deserves a day off. The guy never takes a break and has done more good things for this country than has been done by all presidents combined since Reagan.

Deserves a day off? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Does he also deserve to be making money off of his time in office?

Trump could be on track to triple Obama's time on the golf course

And that was only in 2017.

Agolf Twitler has certainly earned that nickname.

During my time on deployment I never once heard anyone who was upset, let down or frustrated that the President wasn't coming to talk to us. We cared about when we were getting the hell out of that ****hole, how our families were doing back home and making sure everyone made it out in 1 piece. The President doesn't visit the troops to help the troops, he visits the troops so the media can catch him on video serving turkey, making a few jokes and acting like one of the common folk.

To me, Trump has done enough negative things, meaningful things, that stuff like this just distracts from the important issues.

I understand, but I think it moves the conversation from the real issues.

These articles are all written for and believed by the same fools who accused GWB of spending too much time vacationing at his Ranch in Texas when in reality he spent time there working instead of in the White House. The link even explains that they don't know if he's actually playing golf on all those trips or not.

Did that make him cowardly or just smart though? This is not as easy a question as you might assume it to be, especially if you knew the bigger about Vietnam, which many still don't.

You wanna share? Or just allude to?
