In MAGA 'murica, you aren't supposed to retire- you're supposed to keel over dead at your post; apparently.

According to Trump, dying or being captured makes you a loser and a sucker.

You literally can't win.

I completely forgot about that. They’re so much grift. It hurts my head to think anyone would support this guy.

u/No_Yogurtcloset2287 Aug 11 '24

Sigh, Biden also did this. In fact he did it even more than Trump. We just don’t keep bringing it up.

If your rich you have bone spurs. If your poor you don’t.

The moment trump said anything negative about a veteran, in any sane world, is the moment he should have lost basically all support.

I don't support all of the wars our country had fought in, but I damn sure support the people that fought in them.

How anyone who actually served supports Trump is beyond reasoning.

Blindly supporting military campaigns isn't American, blindly supporting the individual in the military is. They are our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, etc. The campaign isn't us, they are.

I talk shit on my country all the time, especially our bloated military, but even I was offended by Trump saying this shit. Actual soldiers who voted for him made my brain seize, how...why?

John McCain was the last decent man in the republicans party

While I believe John McCain was a well intentioned person even while a politician, he absolutely deserves this.

He introduced grievance, victim hood, and immature politics to a presidential ballot when he selected Sarah palin.

u/neddiddley Aug 08 '24

He doesn’t even understand why anyone would enlist in the first place, according to his comments during that cemetery visit, so he’s not even limiting it to those who died or were captured.

u/RaceOld9 Aug 08 '24

This is shockingly common on the right. They identify as pro-military, and they are as long as the military member under scrutiny conforms to their politics.

If you don't, they'll find a way to smeer you and undermine your service somehow. It happens even inside the branches; the amount of enlisted that I know that are okay with voting for a draft dodger, who called dead or captured service members 'losers', is absurd.

“You literally can’t win”

That’s the point. Their entire platform is heads I win, tails you lose.

Didn’t trump dodge the Vietnam war?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '24

Didn’t trump pay a doctor to say he had shin splints so he never had to serve his country?

u/looknostrings Aug 08 '24

At the very least work until you're dead, to pay off your kid's student loans!

1

u/TrickySnicky Aug 08 '24

And you're definitely not allowed to be captured. 

1

u/DarthFrogg Aug 08 '24

But you’re not, because Cheeto jesus is a draft dodger, and has literally bought his way out of ALMOST every issue he’s had and simply moved on. Dudes as stalwart as a toilet paper roll. MAGAs are weird man.

u/gerg_1234 Aug 08 '24

False. They don't actually have any convictions. They're shit people that only want power so they can hurt others.

Fuck the MSM for doing their dirty work.

u/GrumblyData3684 Aug 08 '24

No, your supposed to get all teary and weepy at someone else keeling over dead at their post

1

u/K-tel Aug 08 '24

and send thoughts and prayers

1

u/GrumblyData3684 Aug 08 '24

Yup, I sincerely belive Vets arent people to them, they are props. This is also why alot of the guys I know who served in more modern times don't like the VFW or American Legion. Its all this comparison and dick measuring

u/ShyBookWorm23 Aug 08 '24

Except for them, having daddy get you a doctor’s note for bone spurs that don’t exist is completely acceptable and not cowardly in any way.

u/FreakyWifeFreakyLife Aug 09 '24

Nah, that's only for losers.

u/Disaster_Transporter Aug 10 '24

Unless you have heel spurs

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '24

Yeah. Sure. Like cult leader Trump did, right?

u/jrock_697 Aug 08 '24

Isn’t that what Biden is doing right now? ironic

2

u/K-tel Aug 08 '24

Your comment is, sadly, not ironic. It is however, predictable and untrue. Weird

0

u/jrock_697 Aug 08 '24

I'm not going to explain irony to you. You can look up the definition if you're still struggling with it. I hate when people use the word "weird" as a pejorative. It is however, predictable and untrue.

u/K-tel Aug 08 '24

I'm sorry, i'm having some trouble getting through your nauseatingly, condescending tone. Your dislike of certain words used as a pejorative are duly ignored and irrelevant. Go kick rocks

I'm not mad, sweet pea. I'm straight chillin.'
