This is not the first time Trump has been accused of politicizing the military for his personal gain. He’s allegedly called dead soldiers “suckers and losers,” insulted the late John McCain for being a prisoner of war and recently stoked controversy for saying civilian Medal of Freedom recipients are much better than those who received the Medal of Honor — the highest military award in the country, often given posthumously.

What in the bone spurs is this? I didn't know about Trump mocking McCain for being a POW. That's fucked up. Trump hasn't done a thing for his country.

It doesn't surprise me. I forget half the terrible shit he's done. You basically need an entire book to keep track of his hourly crimes. Sheesh

Yea... I don't know how anyone in the military supports him.

Dude has contempt for people that served - I suppose a side effect of the miraculous disappearance of his bone spurs.
