Donald Trump receives Purple Heart from veteran

LTC (Join to see) there is NO doubt this election is about who do you hate less. For me I hate Trump less than I hate the snake in the grass HRC. Neither are my choice but the only place she should be is jail.

Insertion from 10,000 feet?

LTC (Join to see) - Your right of course, there is no defending Trump. The only reasonable alternative is attacking his opponent.

You can't, he has bone spurs

LTC (Join to see) - No, I don't think he has a clue. Also, Trump went to a high school military academy. I also don't think many people remember details of what they learned in high school, which would have been over 50 years ago for Trump.

LTC Yinon Weiss - T rump said "I always wanted a purple heart". So if he really had no clue what it stood for, then obviously he didn't always want one. So if you're correct, then this is just another example of him saying something made up on the spot to pander to the people he is talking to at the time.

LTC (Join to see) - No, he's probably always wanted one because the media boasts "Purple Heart Recipients", so in his mind, it's an award associated with something valuable. Hence why he would want it. I'm sure he would say he's always wanted a Medal of Honor as well, though I think the odds of him getting one given to him is quite a bit lower.

LTC Yinon Weiss - well, your perspective seems a bit bizarre to me, but with Trump who knows. But if you are right, given the number of PH recipients already calling his comments repugnant, do you think he will put out a statement admitting that he didn't know what the PH stands for, and apologize for his crass comments? Yeah, me neither. If asked, I bet he will insist that of course he knows what a PH is for because he has a good brain and loves the vets and the vets love him.
