(89,779 posts)Here, dude! You so jazzed about us being in another war? Okay then. Suit up and go over there YOURSELF. Get a good look. Close to the action (where you already imagine yourself as some high-fallutin all-powerful military commander).
Did he ever actually serve? Did he ever see the deep dark downside of military action? Where Americas finest young warriors go overseas to some hell hole and come back with their legs blown off, or worse: in a box?
War IS Hell. But how could the donald REALLY know or understand that? Hes never served. NEVER. He never went through basic training, never lived the life of a soldier or recruit. Never personally faced that kind of brutal REALITY.
All he knows are the parades and pageantry and deferential treatment that a president gets. He has no clue.
