If the US removes its limitation on torture (as Trump recommends, in violation of the Geneva Convention and US Law), what do you think will happen to us when we get captured?

I don't know if it is favoring or a choice of the lesser evil however, from conversations with fellow retired military as well as those still on AD, it boils down to TRUST and most do not trust Hillary and her husband. Most consider the Clintons to be nothing but a criminal cartel anymore whose promises ring hollow as she is owned by big business and Wall Street and their so called Foundation appears to be nothing but a personal money laundering scheme. Most military desire someone they think is going to have their back and for this Trump appears to be someone they can trust more to do that.

With good reason!
At least we may have a chance with Trump. With the Clintons and the Demagogue Party, there is no chance -- we know exactly what we will get and it is not going to be good for US!

Donald Trump's disrespect for the military is appalling – and unprecedented | Scott Beauchamp
So far, Trump has only insulted, abused and patronized service members and veterans on the trail. That’s no way to win our support

That article has plenty of specific instances, like:
Last July at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, Trump said of Arizona senator and former Vietnam POW John McCain: “He’s not a war hero. He’s not a war hero because he was captured. I don’t like people who were captured.” Who would want to go to war for a President Trump knowing that if you were captured in the heat of battle your commander-in-chief wouldn’t “like” you?
And then you can check it for yourself by watch the official video of the Summit right here:

Of watch him explain on youtube:

Maybe because the majority doesn't want to be the few left in some God Forsaken place, under fire, knowing that no help is coming because Killary feels your life doesn't matter.
Killary, like 0vomit, will continue to dismantle the military, cut pay, cut benefits, and give it the savings to illegals and refugees (aka ISIS supporters).

There is a third choice...Gary Johnson. He and his running mate will be on the ballot. Read up on his team. There is always another choice if we are willing to step back from the hype and main stream.

Well having been studying a lot of what this Administration has and has not been doing the past seven and half years to CHANGE AMERICA AND BRING IT DOWN IN SIZE AND QUALITY! To being a Vietnam Combat Soldier Army Artillery '67-'68 and just by the grace of God being able to remember so much of what happened to me! I can see that when someone mentioned we had to take care of South Vietnam and its people or there might be a Domino Effect of certain countries in Asia BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT THE DOMINO AFFECT HAPPENED NOT WITH ASIAN COUNTRIES BUT Iraq Aphganistan and Syria! Refugees Refugees and more Refugees! Wow! What lack of leadership! WE ARE IN MUST WIN SITUATION AND MOST SOLDIERS KNOW WHAT HAS TO BE DONE!!! I would imagine that one if not all of the men women and children that have been beheaded by ISIS! SAID PLEASE DONT TO THE PERSON WITH THE SORD! HEY I AM A TEACHER! WHEN TWO STUDENTS GET INTO A FIST FIGHT ON THE PLAYGROUND IT IS UP TO ME/US TO SEPERATE THE STUDENTS AND KEEP THEM APART UNTIL THEY COME TO THEIR SENSES AND CALM DOWN! YOU CAN BET THAT WE DON'T WALK OVER AND ASK THEM TO STOP WHEN ONE OR THE OTHER IS TRYING TO BASH THE OTHERS HEAD INTO THE GROUND OR PULLS A KNIFE OR WORSE! YOU HAVE TO DO THE SAME IN A COUNTRY! TO ON THE PLAYGROUND YOU CANT GUARENTE HOW LONG YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HOLD THEM APART! AS TO IT IS THE SAME WITH COUNTRIES THAT WE TRY TO BRING PEACE TO! WE ALL WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HAD THE SENARIO THAT PRES. OBAMA TOOK AS TO TELLING THE ENEMY THAT WE WERE GOING TO LEAVE ON A CERTAIN DATE! HOPING THAT EVERYTHING WOULD STAY PEACEFUL! BUT THAT IS THE POINT THERE WAS NOT A LONG ENOUGH TIME GIVEN FOR TRUE PEACE TO TAKE HOLD IN IRAQ! OH YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! STUDYING WHAT THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND WAS ALL ABOUT AND THE BLACK PANTHERS BACK IN THE '60'S AND KNOWING THAT BILL ARES THE HEAD OF THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND HAS BEEN FUNDRAISING FOR OBAMA AND IS A PERSOANL FRIEND OF HIS! IT IS GUILT FROM ASSOCIATION TO ME!! Pray for someone like Trump that does not consult with liers and cop killers! It is just CRAZY there is REALLY no other CHOICE than Donald Trump and at least he has you and I and ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN MIND TO HELP AND TO GIVE NEEDED HELP AND GUIDENCE TO STOP THE KILLING OF BLACKS BY BLACKS IN CHICAGO!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
