Just posted this on another thread.
There are no words really that I can say to sum up how offended I feel by Trump’s asinine remarks that will come as a slap in the face to the loved ones of those who were killed and those coping with life changing injuries and PTSD.

Our AC was also in Afghanistan, in a very dangerous operational situation.

My view on the current POTUS are unprintable🤬🤬🤬

How dare this bufoon make such a claim?! My Royal Marine son still has nightmares about his time there. He saw one friend killed by gunfire and watched another lose a leg by an ied. I want Trump to face Veterans and explain how they got wounded if they were just in the background.
Why do so many Americans believe a word this excuse for a man says?
