I'm not from the USA, but am from a military family and when I see Trump saluting the dead soldiers coffins as they return to the US it genuinely makes my piss boil.

The only reason many of his supporters support this war is becasue they're racist, indoctrinated fools who don't care if a few more "brown" people die.

    You think your piss is boiling? Imagine how Trump feels, staring at all those losers.

    They absolutely care. They are rabid for it.

    So long as they aren't being sent overseas, anyway.

    There's people who go to war for the college degree or the debt relief or the career advancement. And a lot of them bounce as soon as the checks clear.

    There's also people who go to war because its a place where you can go out and get roided up and coke-brained and commit atrocities and be rewarded for it. They tend to stick around, then hop into the private sector to keep the good times rolling.

    Oh no, I wasn't clear: I was referring to the non-military dipshits who are shouting crumb and spittle filled tirades at their TV over the idea that a brown person might exist and be happy.

    I was one of the first category.

    That's the funny part... they're so fucking dumb that they don't realize that Iran... is mainly Persian... they're not even brown. They could literally pass for most white Americans skin color wise. But the magats are to fucking stupid to realize this.

    he also hates soldiers, and servicemembers, he calls them suckers and losers, whats in it for them. he also famously said he would disown ERIC/or JR if they ever joined the military, no more sweet cocaine money if they join.

    there is a video that went viral recently about a viet nam vet slapping a younger guy for not standing during the national anthem. He supposedly talked to the kid about his service and the friends he lost. seriously. you where in the cluster that was viet nam and you see the trump now and your not sitting down with the lad rather than supporting this bulltrump.

    Hell yeah. Fuck Vietnam for trying to take away our national anthem.
