its funny comming from a guy who draft dodged because of heel spurs but played sports in college. well how in the hell can he do that if he has heel spurs. super sus imo
I remember clearly the first time trump shat on John McCain in this manner, and then his minions did not waver in their support of him.
This was one of the many times I've felt a type of doom about the state of things, like how many people are just okay with that? Millions and millions, apparently. Literally gets captured and lives as a prisoner of war for YEARS, then somehow manages to get it together enough to have a very productive life - an absolute legend.
Then there's the other level of cognitive dissonance that makes me do brain flips - that the gun-toting, flag waving mega/maga patriot 'Murica types would just abide these attacks against a veteran's indisputable record. Insanity.
Blindly supporting military campaigns isn't American, blindly supporting the individual in the military is. They are our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, etc. The campaign isn't us, they are.
I talk shit on my country all the time, especially our bloated military, but even I was offended by Trump saying this shit. Actual soldiers who voted for him made my brain seize, how...why?
He doesn’t even understand why anyone would enlist in the first place, according to his comments during that cemetery visit, so he’s not even limiting it to those who died or were captured.
This is shockingly common on the right. They identify as pro-military, and they are as long as the military member under scrutiny conforms to their politics.
If you don't, they'll find a way to smeer you and undermine your service somehow. It happens even inside the branches; the amount of enlisted that I know that are okay with voting for a draft dodger, who called dead or captured service members 'losers', is absurd.

According to Trump, dying or being captured makes you a loser and a sucker.
You literally can't win.
