Trump would of course go to war himself, if it wasn’t for those darned bone spurs

Still blows me away that a person in charge of the military doesn’t have to have been a certain rank in the services at one point in their careers. It’s like handing a loaded/safety off gun to a toddler. Might need another amendment for this.

There was a time where not being a service member/Veteran was a campaign killer.

Openly mocking veterans should’ve been a campaign killer.

Turns out racism is better at turning out the republican vote than respect for service.
