A comment I saw elsewhere on social media.

"The only suckers and losers in the military are the ones still supporting tRump."

Ex-GOP Sen. and Defense Secretary Hagel: Trump reportedly calling troops 'losers' is 'despicable,' fits pattern

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...el/5733972002/

Hagel said that while the report was based on anonymous sources, the remarks fit with a pattern of previous statements and actions. He cited Trump's past comments about the late Sen. John McCain as well as three former military general who served in his own Cabinet: former Secretary of Defense James Mattis, former national security adviser William McMaster and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. He also accused the president of using veteran and active-duty troops as political "props."

"Let's go back and look at Mr. Trump's words himself coming out of his own mouth starting in 2016 with what he said about John McCain and what he continued to say about McCain," Hagel said. "How he degraded the service of Generals Mattis and McMaster and just recently General Kelly. The history of this president over the last three and four years is pretty clear."

Hagel also pointed to Trump's decision not to go to a 2018 ceremony at a military cemetery in France to honor America's war dead. Trump claimed he was unable to attend because of weather.

"Every other leader went. Every other leader drove. The leaders of France, Germany, Canada," Hagel said. "And you can go through a litany of past things that he said from his mouth, actions that he's taken and it corroborates really the Goldberg article in The Atlantic.'"

...and it's not just Goldberg, it's been corroborated by others, including Faux News.

Donny is a disgrace; anyone who ever wore a uniform is complicit in his treasonous behavior if they vote for him. I highly doubt that our resident Trumpkin idiots have ever served, and will never understand what it means to serve our country.

The Atlantic's editor-in-chief says his story about Trump calling vets 'losers' is just the beginning

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/06/media...ces/index.html

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, said his magazine's story about Trump calling Americans who died in battle "losers" and "suckers," was just the tip of the iceberg.

"I would fully expect more reporting to come out about this and more confirmation and new pieces of information in the coming days and weeks," Goldberg told CNN's Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter on "Reliable Sources" Sunday. "We have a responsibility and we're going to do it regardless of what he says."

"We all have to use anonymous sources, especially in a climate where the president of the United States tries to actively intimidate," Goldberg said of his editorial decision to cite nameless people. "These are not people who are anonymous to me."

Carl Bernstein, the investigate reporter known for breaking the Watergate story that took down President Richard Nixon, told Stelter on Reliable Sources Sunday that anonymous sourcing is often a crucial tool for reporters.

"Almost all 200 of our stories about Watergate were based on anonymous sourcing," he said. Bernstein added that during the Trump era, "reporting is almost uniformly based on anonymous sourcing in part because that's the only way we can get to the truth."

When it comes to the current presidency, Bernstein said, "We have to recognize that almost everything we know about the truth of Donald Trump and his presidency comes from reporting," adding, "The fake news is the president's news," and journalists are "doing the real reporting."

Donny must be scared shitless. Lose the election, go directly to jail.

Everyone Knows It’s True
As Trump vehemently disputes reports that he has disparaged veterans, some silences speak loudly.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...s-true/616138/

Amid the clamor, it’s easy to overlook those who are not yelling, those who are keeping silent. Where are the senior officers of the United States armed forces, serving and retired—the men and women who worked most closely on military affairs with President Trump? Has any one of them stepped forward to say, “That’s not the man I know”?

How many wounded warriors have stepped forward to attest to Trump’s care and concern for them? How many Gold Star families have stepped forward on Trump’s behalf? How many service families?

The silence is resounding. And when such voices do speak, they typically describe a president utterly lacking in empathy to grieving families, wholly uncomprehending of sacrifice and suffering.

Orange Shitstain launches unprecedented attack on military leadership he appointed

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/07/polit...hip/index.html

[The disgusting pig] launched an unprecedented public attack against the leadership of the US military on Monday, accusing them of waging wars to boost the profits of defense manufacturing companies.

"I'm not saying the military's in love with me -- the soldiers are, the top people in the Pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy," Trump told reporters at a White House news conference.

Trump's extraordinary comments come as several defense officials tell CNN relations between the President and Pentagon leadership are becoming increasingly strained.

They also followed efforts by Trump to convince the public that he had not made a series of reported disparaging remarks about US military personnel and veterans, which were first reported by The Atlantic magazine.

In today's episode of "Mark Meadows Defends tRump"...
So Mark Meadows (tRump's official apologist) spends the morning telling Pentagon officials that tRump did not say what he said. That they were warmongering profiteers, in case you missed it. Any guess as to how many of these intelligent, non-political professionals will fall for this load of crap?

So not only does tRump think the top brass at the Pentagon are warmongers but stupid as well.

If you want a little light reading just Google "Mark Meadows defends Donald".
