I can’t imagine being a veteran and supporting Trump. He has loudly proclaimed over and over through his words and policies that he doesn’t care about you.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The only people who support Trump are self-serving psychopaths. They're using Trump to further their own grift. And Trump is cool with that as long as he gets a piece.
self-serving psychopaths.
that's exactly it. we can't fathom the way these people think because we aren't physically WIRED to think like they do.
and its why I don't spend much time pondering why they are the way they are.
Some of them are also brainwashed. Like, they need legitimate cult deprogramming
Trump could pull his pants down and shit on the tomb of the unknown soldier, and his brain dead supporters would clap and cheer.
Not just doesn't care, but actively distains.
A bit of context from someone who, in a past life, had to care about this kind of stuff:
This is 100% bureaucratic and is a slap on the wrist, at best. Yes, there is paperwork you are supposed to fill out any time you approach anything even remotely sensitive. But said paperwork is almost never reviewed and it is a joke that, if it ever IS reviewed, you either get instantly approved or rejected depending upon what someone was yelled at for most recently.
The reality is that, like almost everything, it is up to you. You were part of the operation to kill Secret Bin Laden? Don't talk about it. If you do talk about it, stuff like not filling out the right paperwork is just an extra charge they can throw at you. If you don't talk about it? Stuff like not filling out the right paperwork is MAYBE a slap on the wrist and being told to go take a training again.
So if you are approaching anything sensitive? You set up a different meeting (which can be a REAL hassle if you aren't cleared anymore) to talk about it in the appropriate environment.
No idea if the shitstain leaked anything sensitive.
I'm a Proud Patriotic Republican and WHO THE FUCK CARES if they Steal Valor? Democrats want TRANS KIDS TO NOT KILL THEMSELVES!
This isn't about "stolen valor". The candidate was a Seal. He just wrote a book about it without asking the pentagon "mother may I" first.
I honestly can't tell if you are serious or not.
Then that awesome human is doing sarcasm correctly.
Technically, that’s satire, which is like advanced sarcasm ;)
Maybe he did an ROTC stint as a clerk.
