Donald Trump on Friday downplayed the toll on American sailors enduring nearly nine months at sea on the USS Abraham Lincoln as concerns escalated about mental health and supply issues aboard the aircraft carrier supporting U.S. operations against Iran.
In a brief exchange with reporters before flying to New York for an event to highlight falling violent crime rates across the U.S., Trump refuted that family members have raised concerns about the deployment’s length and even said that the deployment — which includes a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 240 days — is “not nearly long enough.”
I really hope the current military is seeing this, as well as all those vets who have to wear grunt style tshirts everywhere they go and plaster veteran/military decals all over their cars.
he. Does. NOT. Care. About. YOU!
That ship should have sailed when he mocked John McCain, a guy that spent 6 years in a POW camp after being shot down over Vietnam. In a sane world, he’d lose the military vote right then and there, forever.
In a sane world the vets who actually give a shit would have jumped ship when the pedo pissed all over the sanctity of Arlington, and had his people assault an Army employee, for a photo op
It’s a very, very mad world we live in
There’s a pretty long list of occasions where Trump has insulted the military as a whole as well as individual members of the military and it appears the average military service member either isn’t aware or is neck deep in the cult so Dear Leader is always right.
I don’t think the kind of vets that wear grunt style and have bumper srickers about them being veterans were ever in a position to experience deployment.
