person wants to be commander-in-chief, commanding our military and he claims one has to be captured in order to be a hero. This same person was a wimp who avoided the draft. This same person has degraded the military, how does the military continue to support this person who degrades them.

That's pretty doggone devastating.

I looked at those two Medal of Honor winners standing with Trump on Friday - when he paraded them out as window dressing, and as one pundit today described them, "human shields", before he went on to try to wipe away five YEARS of birtherism with a few seconds of "statement". I seriously wondered about those old gents. I do respect them for their service and their sacrifice, bur WHAT ON EARTH business do they have standing with a disgrace like Donald Trump? They'd trust the lives and limbs of their brothers and sisters in arms - to a "commander-in-chief" like Donald Trump?????? Seriously???????????
After what he said about John McCain's history as a POW?
After how he's lied about where he stood on the Iraq War??
About how he has the nerve to ask, THREE times, in one recent briefing, "if we have nukes, why can't we use them?"???
After he's trash-talked the generals????
After he's claimed he knows more about ISIS than the lifelong professionals do?????

D doesn't just stand for Donald.
D also stands for Deplorable.

Trump is a disgrace to the memory of my father, who spent the last 7 months of the war in a German POW camp outside of Frankfort.

Somebody needs to erect a Jumbotron outside of Trump Tower and run this commercial continuously on a loop, for the rest of Trump's life.
