Ex-Trump Chief-of-Staff Finally Confirms Reports About Trump's Shocking Statements about Veterans:

[Grim Reaper 6]

“What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly said in the statement, adding:

A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all “suckers” because “there is nothing in it for them.” A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because “it doesn’t look good for me.” A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.

 

Kelly, a retired U.S. Marine Corps general, had long been speculated to be the source of the quotes in The Atlantic article by Jeffrey Goldberg. The article was round blasted by Trump and his supporters at the time and dubbed fake news.

Yes, I do and so do the majority of active-duty service members and veterans! Being a Retired Veteran who spent 33+ years in military and government service (Middle East) I can say this without any doubt. Not, to mention the lack of respect, and other public comments he has made concerning POWs, Military members and disabled veterans myself included (I received 100% Disability from the Veterans in 2003 when I retired after 23 years in the US Army, before becoming a Government Contractor for another 10 1/2 years)

Be careful he doesn’t claw your eyes out for picking on his man.

Thanks for the concern, but I have faced tougher children in Iraq and Afghanistan so an old Canadian with a man crush doesn't worry me!!!!!!

[acidhead]

The author of this thread doesn't like President Trump because Trump threatens the very existence of their military racket. Let's face the facts here, the only Republicans who dislike Trump are the same ones who somehow justify endless War, military interventions and a reckless foreign policy which has done nothing but put American and Western lives at risk all over the planet and at home.

You faced nothing but a Turkey shoot over in Afghanistan and Iraq. Killed innocent men women and children. And then if the crimes weren't enough already stuck around to profit off of it.

Add to that fact the total lack of self-awareness concerning these charges being debunked over, and over, and over and it becomes crystal clear that Trump Derangement is an actual psychological diagnosis.  The sufferers will still be amped up and spewing hate and lies for years after the man is in his grave.  The media has done yeoman's work in creating this evil for our nation.  If the nation ever falls into conflict, THAT should be remembered.

Meanwhile, all we have is Kelly's claim.  You may not have noticed it but the Left spent a solid 6 years making claims that were disproven time and again but they never retract their statements.  The conclusion?  His supporters have totally lost trust in media to be accurate where Orange Man is concerned.  If Kelly has a verified audio or video to share, people might take him seriously.  That's what happens when people lose all trust in so called "press" entities.  

You lot should probably be thinking ahead to see just how much skin you're willing to put into the game next year.  Your media gods may begin asking you to go much further than just complaining online.  He can't be legally disqualified and at some point your media sources will have to admit this.  That will leave your only hope to be the nation's voters deserting him.  How has that been working out for ya so far?

Verbal conversations, even though I am living here in Korea I am still very very active in the military communities here. My information comes from senior personnel, who receive it directly from their soldiers. Trump's criticism of John McCain's military service alienated many military members and almost all disabled veterans against him, and the fact that he dodged the draft during the Vietnam War didn't help! But this only scratches the surface, the comments that are outlined in the OP of this thread clearly tell the rest of the story. I remember when that information was leaked to the media, and how the whistleblower was never identified, well now we know where that information came from!

By the way that is Retired General Kelly's claim, look up his service record he is as patriotic as they come and he is truly an officer and gentleman!!!

But, my friend your welcome to believe whatever you do, however on this subject we must agree to disagree respectfully!!!!

Do you really think all the terrorist were innocent women and children? 

You can still be against the Iraq and Afghanistan war without making hyperbolic statements about it. Your view isn't accurate, reality is more complicated.

Is that also what I did in Somalia during the battle for Mogadishu, where I was severely wounded and almost died.  You see, I will give you credit where it is due, you are one hell of a Master Baiter. But I am a wise old fish, and I can see right through the facade and your attempt at making me angry. So, please carry on there little buddy you have lost that battle before it even began!!!!!

Like myself I personally felt it was horrible and no matter who was actually responsible as the President of the United States President was ultimately responsible. Because all leaders are directly responsible for what those below them do no matter the circumstances!!!!!!

That is a very good analogy, but I think I will have nightmares for a week now. Because the first thing that popped into my head was Buffalo Bill standing in front of that mirror Tucked!!!!!!
