If you're planning on voting for Trump please watch these two clips. And square them in your mind with your worldview. And his previous comments about always feeling like he was in the military. And that he doesn't like John McCain because he was captured so he's not a hero. And that when the military refuses to obey his illegal orders to torture terrorists or target the families of terrorists that "I'm a leader. I've always been a leader. I've never had a problem leading people. If I say, 'do it', they're going to do it. That's what leadership is all about."."
Clinton doesn't like or respect us, and it's clear this man doesn't either.

After reading the attached it seems there may be a grain of truth to what Trump speaks about graft in Iraq involving US employees (troops and contractors). A majority of the press is highly anti-Trump and I was surprised to find this toward the top of a Google. Trump seems to be able to cut to the chase on these no-speak topics and nail them on the head much to the displeasure of his opponents. Wish he had a more polished way of speaking, - more political way of speaking which could blend the truth without twisting so many prized tails.

It's unfortunately a fact that money is stolen. Money makes some people to eschew their value system.

Capt Tom Brown A good point, thanks for the link. I remember my disgust with the graft and waste happening in some of the more high-level lucrative areas and on the Local National side of the exchanges but I guess I didn't know as much about some of the misconduct of our own. Trump's comments still rankle me as the latest in a series of contemptuous remarks about us.

Please review the negatives of Hillary also. I had to deal with the Clinton Whitehouse and the obnoxious Hillary and her total disrespect for the military including their making military members wear civilian suits instead of our uniform to meetings in the Whitehouse. I would vote for Jane Fonda before I would vote for her.

Maj Roger Catron, to be crystal clear (because my comment above on it was brief :"Clinton doesn't like or respect us") I am NOT endorsing her as better as a candidate or more aligned with the military. But there is plenty of material out there on that topic in general and particularly on RallyPoint. Trump on the other hand somehow has an undeserved reputation as respectful of or connected to the military, which is what I was seeking to provoke debate on.

Capt Richard I P. - please don't I'm defending Trump. We really don't have a good choice at all for president.

CW3(P) (Join to see) Clarifying question: is he the pot and soldiers the kettle? Or am I the pot for accusing him, the kettle? Or is the point that both parties' frontrunners have no respect for the military?

Capt Richard I P. - Pot- Donald Trump accusing US troops of stealing from folks and living well off them. Kettle- Donald Trump being accused of the same thing on a number of occasions. Trump University for starters.
