He never had my respect, but he sadly hasn’t lost the respect of enough veterans. Unfortunately they can be (and are) as dumb as every other American.

To this day, I still don’t know how anyone in the military supports Trump. The guy who dodged the draft by claiming he had “Bone Spurs,” the guy who called fallen soldiers suckers and losers and used Arlington national cemetery of all places as a photo shoot for his campaign.

Veterans understand sacrifice and honor to country and our democracy. Everything Trump says and does is antithetical to these two items.
The recent Special Counsel filing on the January 6 case described how Trump and his aides planned to challenge the election results far in advance of Election Day in 2020, and how Trump pressured Vice President Pence to reject Electoral College votes on January 6.
When Trump was told that Pence could be in danger at the Capitol, prosecutors said Trump replied, “So what?” When Pence was holed up under the Capitol during the attack, as Trump supporters were yelling, “Hang Mike Pence”, Trump Tweeted, “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage.”
January 6 alone is disqualifying for the presidency.

Trump lost a lot of respect from veterans with his actions and words. It’s clear he doesn’t value service or our Constitution like he should.

Lost the respect? If you EVER had respect for this pathetic slug then you’re a fool.

10 year Air Force officer here. I totally agree. Anyone who puts themself over the constitution is unfit to be president.

“Lost the respect”. WTF? Why did he give any respect to that loser to begin with?
Adderall_Rant on
I’m curious if you ever supported him and why

I don’t know why this isn’t more common. Trump routinely lies about the troops, lies about troop deaths, disparages them when it suits him, uses their memories when it suits him, and has lost the respect of all of his own appointed top military leaders. Fuck him.

Trump literally just got a purple heart from a Vietnam veteran at a rally…… so

WHAT FUCKING RESPECT?! It’s been nearly a decade since he insulted gold star families for being gold star families!

His slandering of McCain should have been the first clue.

Vets who support Trump are shitheads with the fuck you I got mine attitude. It’s the idea that they got their benefits through struggle.
I’ve made it my duty, my mission, as a vet to work as hard as I can to ensure everyone can enjoy the benefits I receive without sacrificing their lives. It’s unreal that so many vets eat their own farts.

What did he do to earn their respect in the first place? Did I miss something?

I am a recently retired vet(2018) who worked in the intel community. I saw an AMA on reddit where this 6 year E5 veteran who said he was in the intel community say that Trump was not a threat and J6 was not a coup. Also made some kind of reference to having knowledge of aliens. The dude was trying to prop up this opinion with his credentials because most citizens believe that by working in an intel field you get all available intelligence which is not true. I called him out and he eventually blocked me.

I really think that for some reason, this 80 something year old comes off as a tough guy to them: People who claim to uphold liberty and the law, who think sometimes you can abandon both of those because a”good ass kicking “ is the only solution. That kind of person.

As a veteran I have always been repulsed by this clown just by his typical behavior and lies. The disrespect he has shown veterans only further validated my belief. It’s blows my mind that most of the Trump followers actually think this one man can put more money in their pockets and make things better. They are in for a rude awakening if he wins but I’m sure they will blame the left.
raind0gg on
Wait, he had the respect of veterans? All this boggles my mind.

As a veteran I never had respect for this douchetaco

This swell of support for Harris should come as no surprise. She has proved her ability to address the most difficult national security challenges, from rallying allies against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to confronting China’s provocations in the Indo-Pacific and advancing U.S. leadership on space and artificial intelligence.
wineheda on
Vets hate him, college educated hate him, women hate home, republicans hate him. So how the hell is it this close?
garpar1365 on
Yeah? How long ago did he say that suckers and losers thing about our fallen soldiers? Fuck anyone who Still supports this asshole!
madzax on
Trump just isn’t the person he was when he originally ran for president. The first time he ran America did not know a lot about him but over the past 8 years his behavior and his history have come to haunt him. It turns out he wasn’t really the person we all thought he was. Unfortunately, age is something we all have to face and understand that as we get older physical and mental abilities decline. Power can also corrupt. Once you have it it is hard to give up. It is a Euphoria most people cannot Escape. Trump’s time is over. Looking at all the facts in Trump’s history, we all have to realize his time is over.

He should have never had your respect in the first place. Do some basic research.

Never should have had your respect.
He never had the respect of this vet.
How long sis it take you ?
Respect is earned. Trump never earned anything.
