***From Rolling Stone’s Charisma Madarang:***
Donald Trump once again showed his disdain for United States military personnel during a campaign event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Tuesday.
When taking questions from reporters during the event, a journalist asked Trump if he thought Israel should retaliate against Iran’s Oct. 1 missile attacks against the nation. The reporter also asked if Trump believed he should have been “tougher on Iran” during his presidency “after they had launched ballistic missiles in 2020 on U.S. forces in Iraq,” which left “more than 100 U.S. soldiers injured.”
The Republican candidate bristled at the idea of taking accountability for the tragic event, and instead mocked U.S. troops. “What does injured mean?” he retorted. “Injured means, you mean, because they had a headache? Because the bombs never hit the fort.”
“There was nobody ever tougher on Iraq,” Trump continued, confusing Iraq for Iran. “When you say not tough, they had no money. They had no money for Hamas. They had no money for Hezbollah. And when we hit them, they hit us. And they called us, and they said ‘We’re going to shoot at your fort but we’re not going to hit it.’”
And half of America will still vote for this guy just because he’s “Based and Redpilled”.

It’s historical fact that they suffered severe brain injuries. Trump is a disgrace and a blight on us all.

I see Rolling Stone Magazine is going all in on manufacturing consent on an Iran War by validating some other organizations reporter terrible question.
Trump tore up a landmark nuclear deal and assassinated Iranian figures on diplomatic trips. He was punitive and completely unreasonable in his handling of Iran, and the idea he should’ve been “tougher on them” is preposterous. The US should’ve been internationally sanctioned for what Trump DID do

If only they had a real injury, like bone spurs.

Can we just clarify that the Soldiers were in Iraq, not Iran .

The fact that there’s an Ivermectin ad in the screen right after is pure and absolute perfection.
I hate it here.

Point here doesn’t change but: they were injured **_in Iraq_** by Iran.
Edit: and to OP’s credit the incorrect/confusing headline is Rolling Stone’s fault.

Why do active duty military and veterans support this guy? Makes no sense

Atleast he never went right back to sleep when he should have called backup for benghazi’s embassy.

Spread the word: nobody hates American soldiers more than Donald Trump and the GOP.

And he had bone spurs which everybody knows is severely debilitating.

Is it possible that trivializing serious issues is a bold strategy to distract from real accountability? Does humor deflect?

Guarantee, 100 percent guarantee that Trump probably cries more about his hamberders having lettuce than military vets do about being shot.

A “headache” named Trump, what a failure of a human being.
maninthewoodsdude on
When I talk to doctors at the VA about my tbi they are almost dismissive. Just because I can pass a stupid memory test means all my symptoms I tell them are invalid, nothing they can do.
Trumps view of TBI, PTSD, and Vets is almost exactly how (bad) government treat veterans (slow processes, same day canceled appointments, refusal to treat symptoms, list goes on)
