Retired Maj. Gen. Eaton on Trump’s Charge: "It is disqualifying, as far as I'm concerned."

In response to Trump's charges, Senior adviser to VoteVets.org, Retired Major General Paul Eaton, a former commander in Iraq, said the following:

"Trump's attack against the courageous American men and women who heroically worked to restore law and order in Iraq is at once uninformed and irresponsible, and is testimony to why Mr. Trump is unqualified to serve as Commander in Chief of the finest troops on the planet.

"From saying he doesn't like POWs because they were captured, to trying to get disabled veterans kicked out from in front of Trump Tower, to belittling service by calling his sexual exploits in the 80s his "personal Vietnam," it is clear Trump has no respect for military service, or the people who serve.

"For him to smear our troops and veterans as he has, it is disqualifying, as far as I am concerned."

Trump knows more than he does. Just ask Trump about that. He does. Because he just does.

And it was probably a Major or LT. Colonel that goniffed the cash.
