wonder if the military will still love Trump. This whole perception of the right being pro military is so wrong. Republicans just get soldiers killed. During the Bush years I asked a military guy if he like Bush and he snapped back without hesitation “I love him”. We were watching our sons play baseball so I explored the question more. The was before the surge when things were going bad in Iraq. I then asked the soldier why he would love a president who sent him into war without a plan to win and ill equipped as IEDs were blowing soldiers up daily. He didn’t have a response. He just sat there with his mouth open. Like most Republicans when asked why they vote republican they cannot articulate any reason other than abortion or guns. Now if it’s abortion then while I am personally pro choice, I don’t begrudge someone voting that issue. If they say guns, I ask them an example of any law passed by a democrat that prevented them from owning a gun. Of course they cannot answer that question either. This is what Fox has done to our country.
