Don't forget about the absence of visits to the troops in theater, as well as the Veterans Day issue (fear of rain).

Was Sen McCain above being criticized? How does that work exactly?

McCain is/was in the political arena and he had no love lost for Trump. He has to be prepared to get it as good as he gave it. If you cant take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

The Kahn's were used at the democrat national convention to attack Trump. They put themselves out there and his comment about them were pretty tame. They threw themselves in the breach when they decided to get on a national platform and go after him over his proposed "muslim ban". They waved the constitution in his face and his ban was upheld by the supreme court. Oops, forgot about that part didn't you.

Here is what McCraven had to say about Trump:

“Like most Americans, I had hoped that when you became president, you would rise to the occasion and become the leader this great nation needs, A good leader tries to embody the best qualities of his or her organization. A good leader sets the example for others to follow. A good leader always puts the welfare of others before himself or herself.”

“Your leadership, however, has shown little of these qualities, Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation.”

This is what earned him some of the direct remarks from a sitting President. McCraven should know better than jumping into the political fray. He is free to do so but that may earn him a rebuke. Whether Mccraven likes it or not, Trump had about 60 million Americans vote for him, McCraven has had zero vote for him.

The US military will support the sitting, duly elected president as long as he is in office. Are you suggesting they do something else? A coup of some sort? Since you could not win at the ballot box, armed force is your remedy is it?

Sgt Jerry Genesio: You forgot to mention that his personal Viet Nam was avoiding STDs; he has declared he didn't like McCain because he was captured, thus those who are captured are losers (that include all POWs then); he LOVED the Purple Heart that a veteran gave him at some rally and he always wanted to have one because they are so beautiful (didn't know you could get one for avoiding STDs, have multiple deferments and bone spurs to avoid service, but whatever floats your carburetor); he told a group of veterans in a meeting that they were strong, unlike those who are committing suicide from PTSD because those people are really weak; he wants the VA budget by 10% or more....and I haven't even finished this list.

His stupidity, arrogance, and lies astound me. He said he had no deep ties to the Russians and Chinese. Trump corporation is mutually developing Indonesian real estate with a Chinese firm. Indonesia is now committing genocide against West Papua New Guineans. He claimed to know more than some folks in the military about war. He said recently that soy bean prices are at its highest ever. Actually it is half the highest price. He told the California Governor he was going to cut funding for the fires and said Finland does not have forest fires because they "rake and do stuff". Trump said we will shoot rock throwers at the border. I will not mention what has already been said in the thread. The Trump foundation has the highest risk rating for improprieties according the Charity Navigator.
