Having known a POW of the Vietnam war, this hit a little close to home.

I'm hoping this one will let some light and reality into the tightly held beliefs of at least some of T's supporters.

Was an Army Medic and a POW. The Germans starved him, lined him and others up to be shot and then didn’t kill them, but marched them through a frigid night. He had frostbite scars on his hand from holding onto the pack of the prisoner in front of him. How he suffered under the Germans.

He was a FOX News believer at the end of his life. I wonder how he would have thought about DJT. I think he would have had to dump Trump since he really was a POW and really knew suffering. Trump knows nothing about military service or sacrifice. He prefers people who weren’t captured.

He is not fit to spit polish the boots of my late father in law.

My father and grandfather both served in the military, neither one was ever a POW, but they had friends who were.

Trump is not fit to spit polish the feet of a lizard.

Scum, criminal, orange faced blob.

and grandpa Trumpf was a German draft dodger. No wonder the majority of the military do not support him. Support is a two way street, not a blind loyalty pledge to the House of tRumpf.

It just makes no sense at all.

I guess he appeals to ignorant racist assholes and they exist everywhere so that will have to do for my explanation.

This is what scorched Earth hard hitting political ads look like.
