How much damage has Trump done with his military supporters?

[kentuck]

I cannot imagine that the military will be able to overlook so easily his actions of the last few days. Even if they believe his explanation for not attending the 100th anniversary of the ending of WWI, they cannot explain away his refusal to attend the ceremony on Veterans Day at the memorial in Arlington?

All this was after he sent troops to our border on a sham mission to confront a caravan that was ready to "invade" America. Those that will be away from their families during the holidays may not be so forgiving this time around?

Perhaps the military can forgive and forget?

But, I doubt it.

1. SNAFU

SNAFU is a military expression for situation normal - all fucked up. That's what it looks like to the military.

2. To the hard core - NONE.

3. I doubt it too - this daily poke in the eye can not be going unnoticed by our Vets....

4. Seeing nothing different

Nothing from any of my friends, little to nothing on the facebook groups, and the only ones making noise about it on a couple of the message boards I am on are openly known left leaning vets.

5. Very little.

They sure are acting like nothing happened

6. We place the "military" on a fake pedestal

The same people who swift boated Kerry voted for Trump. Not very indicative of patriotism, if that is what they are supposed to represent.

8. there is a poll at digby's site

that shows a steady decline of tRumps approval rating in the military

9. They'll overlook it.

Like they overlook everything else. He has disrespected vets from the start, with no loss in support.

10. Depends on the person.

Are they reflexive repugs, always watch Faux Snooze, then they have heard little about this and all they heard was it wasn't his fault. If it's someone who pays attention to multiple sources, they will get angry and desert him, like our friend who was an LT did.
