Trump has never served in a combat zone, so I doubt he knows diddly about the dangers. Trump serves himself and that is it. He has no compassion for the vet. Let him throw around his money. That still does not buy his way into a vote from this veteran.

Your key word is “faith.” It’s irrational faith, but you’re correct you and other supporters have “faith” in him. Faith is necessary here because there is no good reason to believe Trump is knowledgeable about the most important subjects a president must understand.

Pick any of the Republicans besides Trump that fit your values. This way you’ll be in synch with your own values and interests and you won’t be putting an amateur, new convert to his own brand of “conservatism,” first-time blowhard in the White House.

Didn’t Trump give money to both those losers?

He’s the only one who is really, really smart, too. Everybody else, as he says, is a hack and a jerk and a big fat liar. He’s the only one who knows what’s on the “shows” and therefore knows foreign policy. America needs a ultra rich kid who grew up to be a dilettante Democrat and who decided in his mid 60’s he was a conservative after funding liberals all of his life. LOL.

Sitting down playing pedal steel on tiny club stages. Always had the drummer behind me and a ride cymbal in one ear or the other. The tinnitus is louder than people speak, so I’m kinda cut off from normal activity. It sucks!

THE IED’S WERE DESIGNED AND SENT FROM IRAN..... how about that point...???
Sadr and the Iranian revolutionary guard were responsible....
plus we sent vulnerable humvees and let hundreds payt he price for corrupt purchasing practices..... pentagon sop...

we should have put iran on notice and bombed them....
no.... we let our troops get killed and mutilated....

it would take the usa about a week to take iran totally out...
no... we will let them build and use a nuke...

so you tell me what is going on...???

like obama ?

IMO ... only Eisenhower and Kennedy came close to having the "knowledge" of which you speak

Even Dubya had advisors

Look ... NO MAN is perfect and every pubbie orrered has had their good and bad points


When it's all said and done ... Politics is a religion, especially with the dems and libs .... THEY'RE the ones that come up with rule, regulation and law that is hatched in a think tank of less than human entities.

I am so sorry. My tinnitus is not as bad as that. I have hearing loss worse in my right ear especially but I can still understand what people are saying to me under normal conditions. Being in a loud environment makes my tinnitus worse. Stress and not getting enough sleep makes it worse. If I forget to take my blood pressure meds it gets worse.

I guess that it serves me right, my step grandfather spent a lot of time in B-17 bombers during WWII and had severe hearing problems from that. He was a super nice guy. When I was a teenager my friends and I used to make light of his difficulty because he talked funny and often couldn’t understand what people were saying to him.

This is a common misconception — it even took Walter Reed time to figure out, and they are still working hard to deal with the brain trauma caused by the severe concussive force of the IEDs, which rock the brain and bruise it inside the skull even from great distances. Hope he has been informed correctly. Certainly it was not his intention to offend the vets, of whom he has otherwise been very supportive.
