Joe Biden Wins 4 Out Of 5 Military Ballots In Allegheny County, PA

Presidential words have consequences.

Trump was never really able to refute The Atlantic report that he called America’s fallen troops suckers and losers because the troops watched the president insult war hero John McCain while he was alive and after he died.

As President, Donald Trump treated the members of the US military like props in his stage show.

Our military service members did not forget, and in at least one county in a vital swing state, Trump is paying for his disrespect to the troops.

It was always discouraging to see our soldiers supporting Presidents who disrespected them, put them in harms way erroneously.

Cadet bone-spurs, your words and actions are coming home to roost.

What other conclusion is there, then, other than "yeah, that happened"?

I wonder too if their daily experience of having an insane COC has something to do with it. Perhaps they can see dangers we don't. It's obvious he should not have the nuclear codes. But a lot of lesser things could be handled badly by his incompetent adminstration.

They want a Commander in Chief who will do something about that, rather than denying it to protect the guy who put the bounties on their heads.

The Vets did not like Trump dissing McCain, and especially after he was dead and buried. You can add to it Trump's treatment of Gold Star Families as well.

For what it's worth, this was in a PA County which was called for Biden. There is also an Army Depot here.

At my American Legion they are nearly all Trump sycophants. I said to them a month ago that I ride with the generals who denounced Trump. These members are all Viet Nam vets who think they are Audie Murphy. I said they should all be ashamed of themselves for supporting this draft dodger. Not a single man or woman said anything...to my face.

of the country.

Banning Transgender service members is another thing. Mattis and other generals opposed it .
