'The last full measure of his disgrace': Veterans scorn Trump
over report that he calls fallen soldiers ‘losers’
“I recommend all veterans to use their Military pics as a profile pic,” Weissman wrote on Twitter on Thursday evening, “to let Trump know how many people he has offended.”
Weissman’s online call to arms underscored the outpouring of anger that erupted from military veterans and their families overnight against Trump, following a bombshell article in the Atlantic that Trump and several top aides have vehemently denied.
In a video on Twitter, retired Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, who has spoken out against Trump before, described how his father was shot down while delivering air support to troops on the ground in Vietnam.
“I am stunned that anybody in the United States military would consider you anything but a loser or a sucker,” Eaton said, addressing Trump and urging viewers to vote against him in November. “You’re no patriot.”
