1. Don't ever mess with a Marine Gunnery Sargent!

My Father-in-law was a black Marine Gunnery Sargent in Korea and Vietnam. Being a black Marine in those days was extremely hard and that man dealt with it all with flying colors. He passed away about a year ago, but he made it clear that Donald Trump and the Republican leadership were traitors to this country. I pity the people that came across him expressing support for Trump and/or Republicans in the last years of his life. He would have eaten them for lunch!

anger that he has for Donald Trump. This ad explains that anger, but you can see that this is very
personal to this ex-USMC Drill Instructor. He seems to be hurt while he talks as well. That he should be
attacking a President Of The United States over a topic like this. Watch it again....pass it on..2 minutes
and 46 seconds. This could sway some undecided voters. Even if it sways one voter that was in
favor of Trump before, passing it on will serve a purpose.

of Trump's cruel & disrespectful remarks. He reminds me of that drunk, loser, sucker, big mouth guy @ the bar that everybody hates because he's unfiltered & doesn't know what the hell he's talking about but thinks he does!...PRO-AMERICA, ANTI-TRUMP! Thanks for voting for Joe Biden!

BUT.....Did you catch it...."for the first time in my life"

So what your saying is you voted him in.....Where was your indignation then.

He had already disrespected John McCain...and you voted for him anyway.
So Mr. Gunny SGT. GO FUCK YOURSELF....YOU DID THIS TO US.

Glad to see you wont do it again but this country had too come apart at the seams before you had a change of heart.

SO FOR ALL YOU ASSHOLES WHO DID THIS TO US.....


GO FUCK YOURSELVES AND DIE IN WHATEVER WAY SEEMS MOST EXPEDIENT TO YOU!!!!!!!

AND PLEASE HAVE A NICE DAY.

Anybody with half a heart will tell you my friend, I could see those character flaws in 1989.

Now pay close attention to the video...."I assess military candidates for leadership qualities"

---So why didn't you do that in 2016?

He said "Trump disrespected John McCain" and that's bad...I loved John McCain.
He was the last good Republican who would when needed cross the aisle and do what's right
for the country.

---Trump disrespected John McCain's service before 2016.

Look it up....So you say your this great judge of character....you failed all of us
miserably in 2016. That is what I took issue with the gunny sgt.

My father served 25 years US Army, Brother 10 years US Army. I went to school till all the loans ran out and then I went to work. Retired myself in March.

This isn't about Military service...it's about a serious and fatal lack of judgement.
Americans would have died of covid no matter who was presnit...but how more
because of that fatal lack of judgement.
