They will follow him off the cliff like he is the pied piper. Even if they suffered a lost of a family member or friend they won’t budge. That 40% is too long gone now.

I posted on Facebook "My relatives who served are NOT losers and suckers! In America they're called HEROES!! #Godblessourtroops" A longtime friend of mine from high school WENT OFF!!! No matter how much evidence I gave her she became very rude and obnoxious... At this point I'm going to have to "unfriend" her from Facebook

The Trumps are not shy about proclaiming how much they have 'sacrificed'.

Visit to Arlington Cemetery reminded Donald Trump Jr. of all his family's 'sacrifices,' he writes

Rest in light and have the peace denied you in this life. We will let your love ones know we'll never forget you or them.

For those damaged in service to this country, we got your back.

For the rest of us who slung hash, pushed paper, crunch numbers, loaded and unloaded shit, stood guard on a Buff in the middle of a ND winter, looked out on a dark unforgiving ocean, rode a sling seat for 16 hours from home to a hell hole on the other side of the world, waited for that letter, sisters and brothers, on our worst days, we were, are and will be far better human beings than he could ever be. He takes; we gave ... far too often everything.

Fuck him and the golf cart he rode in on.

with a scathing denunciation of Trump and all he stands for by Maj. General Paul Eaton, former Operation Iraqi Freedom Commander. I have made small donations to votevets.org in the past and I am sending then a check today in memory of my late father, who retired from 20 years of service in the U.S. Army with a 40% service connected disability. I can scarcely consider Trump to be in the same species as my beloved, kind, honorable, humble, and self-sacrificing father (also a reliable, lifelong Democrat. ).

I'll allow that Trump is a water and carbon based entity, but other than that he isn't fit to crouch in your father's shadow.

Stand down now Soldier and rest in peace. Duty done.

I don't take kindly to my people being trashed, especially by a POS like Trump.

Yes, a few of them are dirt bags and worse. They need the Book dropped on them from a great height. The majority are ordinary people who do extraordinary things, often under hair raising conditions. If nothing else, they deserve respect; they've earned it. Something Trump will never have.

Cemetery without imaging his own name on a head stone, and the fact that this "World will lose him" is his greatest fear... that and being handed a massive defeat.. Like most Bullies, he is scared of his own shadow.

My Uncle Al died at Normandy 11 years before I was born. My family members always spoke very highly of his bravery and heroism.

He was NOT a sucker or a loser.
