I fucking love the Rights take on the US Military. It shows their stupidity, and propaganda brain just isn't made for todays world.
Under Bush? To them, the Armed forces were one of the greatest in the world!
But the second a Democrat takes leadership, the Military literally turns into incompetent teenagers with no leadership or rules or standards. But the second a Republican is re-elected, they turn back into the macho killing machines we pay them to be.
A part of Ur-Fascism - The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

Dems are too weak! They won't let the Military do Military things! They make rules to limit how we treat bad guys! Weak bull shit!

simultaneously holding the belief of:

Dems are too strong! Able to rig an entire election against us (with no evidence of it being rigged), and turn Military from a powerhouse into a kindergarten in JUST a few hours!
Captain Bone Spurs, who knows fuck all about either. >

It's his shtick. He tries to exude strength, when he's really just a sad old obese man. He knows his base has a warped idea of what strength is and are easily confused by blowhards, so he claims he can "make us strong again" with all his great strength.
I mean, imagine what kind of deluded fool was sitting around in his XXXXL underwear with his gut hanging over them and "liking" those silly memes on twitter that imagine him as a great general leading troops into battle holding a flag. Christ. >

It's always a solid idea when running for Commander in Chief to insult the entire armed forces. That's going to inspire confidence and really bring out the military vote. >

And yet, the majority of military folks will vote for him. My husband, a former fighter pilot, cannot understand why the military supports this idiot - who continually runs it down and thinks those who served are losers (especially those who made the greatest sacrifice.) >

In my family it generally comes down to guns and money. Republicans are seen as being more pro-gun (though I've never heard a Democrat say the service members shouldn't have guns, ever) and have convinced many service members that their likelihood of getting pay increases are better under a Republican. While the military budget often gets more green lights under a Republican president, or it seems that way at least, I doubt the increased budget goes to service men. I'm pretty sure that ends up with private military contractors. >

Republicans sure as hell don’t seem to care about veterans, as they’re always depriving resources from the the VA in an effort to “starve the beast.”  The goal is to starve the VA of resources that it needs to function so that it fails.  (Who cares if a few million vets suffer as a result?)  Then when it fails, they can point to the VA and say, “See?  The government can’t do anything right.”  They then advocate for privatization with claims that the private sector is so much more efficient, as if our for-profit healthcare situation doesn’t show that to be the complete opposite. >

This is the plan for public education, too. >

So, let’s skip the middle bits and bookend the whole thing:  if Republicans are put in charge, public education and the VA are guaran-fuckin-teed to collapse. >

And social security, federal lands, SNAP, and the IRS. Pretty much any government services that aren’t writing a check to the incredibly wealthy. >

Oh look, the Putin wing of the Republican Party is trying to undermine the US military. How very odd. >

Weird to double-down on their claims a year ago that the Russian military was full of unbeatable badass mercenaries, and the US military was a bunch of rainbow flag waving social justice geeks. >

You forgot the new right winger catch-all and trigger word... woke. >

Hearing grown ass adults using the word "woke" in any culture wars sense is so uncomfortable and embarrassing >

True, however it's nice to have a clear sign that who you're talking to is a moron. Trump flags only got you so far, but when Janice from HR drops 'woke' in a sentence you know you're in for a treat. >

My personal favorite is anyone mentioning "cancel culture". It's by far the most clear indication of an individual's unmitigated lack of capacity to contribute anything meaningful to any conversation I could possibly have interest in. >

“We need to refocus our military on what it’s supposed to do, which is blow things up and kill people,” Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas recently declared.
…dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while >

Ignoring the stupidity of that quote, in Ukraine we are blowing things up and killing the enemy while losing 0 casualties AND winning hearts and minds. 
That is what we're doing in Ukraine, Rep. It is quite possibly our greatest geopolitical victory since 1945. What are they even whining about? >

We need to be like Trump and broker a deal with the enemy so we can just surrender and leave, just like he did in Afghanistan after the US fought the Taliban for over 15 years, spending trillions to just let the enemy take power again and do the same shit they did before, but this time with an increased brutality enabled by the knowledge that not even the largest military force in the world could stop them. >

Add it to the list of ways he has shit on the military:
I mean, since we're here anyway...
• trump dodged the draft 5 times by having a doctor diagnose him with bone spurs
• No trump in America has ever served in the military; this spans 5 generations, and every branch of the family tree. In fact, the reason his grandfather immigrated to America was to avoid military service
• trump knew since March 2020 that Russia paid bounties to kill American troops, yet he has done nothing
• May 2020, the White House attempted to end National Guard deployments one day before they could claim benefits
• The trump admin seized 5 million masks intended for VA hospitals. Kushner distributes these masks to private entities for a fee, who then sells the masks to the government
• trump fired the captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt after he warned superiors that COVID19 was spreading among his crew. The virus subsequently spread amongst the crew
• After Iran's retaliatory strike, 109 US troops suffered brain injuries. trump dismissed these as "headaches"

• Pardoned multiple war criminals, which stomped on long standing military values, discipline, and command. Trump has no military experience (May&Nov, 2019)
• Trump mocked Lt. Col. Vindman for his rank and uniform. He threatened said purple heart officer, resulting in the Army providing him protection
• Trump’s Chief of Staff worked—in secret—to deny comprehensive health coverage to Vietnam Vets who suffered from Agent Orange

• Sept 2019, he made an Air Force cargo crew, flying from the U.S. to Kuwait stop in Scotland (where there's no U.S. base) to refuel at a commercial airport (where it costs more), so they could stay overnight at a Trump property (which isn't close to the airport). Trump’s golf courses are losing money, so he's forcing the military to pay for 5-star nights there
• Sept 2019, Pentagon pulled funds for military schools, military housing funds, and daycare to pay for Trump's border wall
• Aug 2019, emails revealed that three of Trump's Mar-a-Lago pals, who are now running Veterans Affairs, are rampant with meddling. "They had no experience in veterans affairs (none of them even served in the military) nor underwent any kind of approval process to serve as de facto managers. Yet, with Trump’s approval, they directed actions and criticized operations without any oversight. They wasted valuable staff time in hundreds of pages of communications and meetings, emails show. Emails reveal disdainful attitudes within the department to the trio’s meddling."
• Veterans graves will be "dug up" for the border wall, after Trump instructed aides to seize private property. Trump told officials he would pardon them if they break the law by illegally seizing property

• Trump lied to deployed troops that he gave them a 10% raise (12/26/2018). He tried giving the military a raise that was lower than the standard living adjustment.

I propose an easy solution. Let Trump rally whatever forces he can to defend Mar A Lago, and the US will send our military to challenge his claim, and we can see who wins. >

In the Republican mind mutually exclusive claims are totally fine. Somehow they accuse Biden of being a warmonger but also not using the military enough. >

Every time diaper man mentions the military in a negative light, I get a nice little flashback of my father in law telling me that I should be thanking Trump because "he looks out for veterans like me".
Then of course I have to remind him of all the shit he has said previous about the military, then it's thrown back at me as fake news.
My country's infatuation with it's encroaching end is on a level that never ceases to surprise me.
I digress. We saw what becomes of people Trump considers strong. They are either dead or turn into a pariah. >

Military people routinely fall for macho morons. It's a really odd 1-sided infatuation and if history didn't show me the recurrent pattern, I'd expect better from otherwise often keenly intelligent minds 
Russia as always provides a glaring example of the problem. Russian militarists idolize Stalin and Putin, who in reality treat(ed) them like cannon fodder and are their biggest enemies. 
Military people often embrace toxic leadership. It's a strange but predictable behavior >

Who? >

Russian asset. >

Useful idiot. >

Trump has a long history of hating the military (mocking prisoners of war, mocking gold star families, etc)  and yet so many current/former military would gladly get on their knees and gobble-worship cadet bone spurs.   
there is some serious cognitive dissonance going on.

The GOP constantly attacks the United States now. Republicans hate the American military, they hate American doctors, they hate American scientists, they hate American schools, they hate American elections, American Social Security, and they definitely hate any hint of American rule of law. >

I never take advice on military matters from a seditionist (traitor) to a country I served 9 years, defending. No American should stand for this man and his attempt to convey Putin’s agenda. You support tRUmp? You need to rethink what country you’re in and why you are here. Don’t like it, get out and join Segal and Snowden. >

Fucking clown shoe. >

The media has learned absolutely nothing in the last 6 years. >

Oh they have and they profit from it . The media isn’t about telling or exposing the truth anymore it’s about what ever brings in profits . Now a days hatred brings in profits . >

There is much truth to your statement.  There was a time where the news departments were actually loss leaders by the networks.  The news was consider prestige and lead in to prime time. 
When the networks were bought up by the corporate entities they turned the news into a profit center.  It is no longer about an informed public.  It is about profits. >

Wait, I’m confused. Didn’t he just spending billions and 4 years modernizing our military and making it great again? But now it sucks? Huh, ok… >

The Donald gave military one job. 
Dumb generals refused. 
The Donald is unemployed. 
The Donald's best man friend in the Kremlin not pick his calls. 
The Donald sad. 
The Donald got every right to mess them generals up. 
The Donald will make them pay. 
With Ye, Kim Jong Un and twenty million diabetics in front of him, the Donald can't lose. Be afraid, be very afraid. >

Let me understand this. "Bone spurs" who dodged the draft with 5 deferals is criticizing the military? >

Trump is a traitor and piece of shit… he would side with Putin and Russia over American interests! >

Once again to you vets/active military that support Trump, WAKE TF UP BECAUSE HE DOESN'T GIVE AF ABOUT YOU AND NEVER WILL. He continually shows he's clueless about everything and has disrespected the military over and over >

The draft dodger dpeaks! >

Nothing new here.  He's always held the military in open contempt. >

He attacked Bidens withdrawal from Afghanistan…..a withdrawal he negotiated with terrorist and released, what 500 of their men?
Dude has no self awareness. >

Reporting of that shows 5000 prisoners were released by trump without our Afganistan allies consent. >

I was way off, which makes his argument even more absurd. He put fighters on the battlefield, then blames his replacement. >

I remember being in the process of kicking the teeth out of ISIS, the Russians, the Iranians, and Assad in Syria when out of nowhere Mr. Mar-o-Chickenshit tries to order us to surrender. 
Trump's so much of a pussy he regularly grabs himself. >

I'm convinced that Trump and his cronies are all Russian assets.  It's so obvious.  
MTG:  last year encouraged Americans not to enlist in the U.S. military, saying it’s like “throwing your life away.” >

Refused to stand up to Putin when he put a bounty on US troops heads. What more do you need from this Putin boot licker? >

The GOP has been historically awful to the US military and especially vets. >

Draft dodger thinks that he knows anything about the military.  Put a weapon in his hands and show us what he can do.  Odds are that he’ll injure himself before becoming any type of threat. >

Says the man who surrendered Afghanistan to the taliban >

So this is the guy who, if wins, will be running the Military?  Ok. Well done America. DOJ better get their shit together and quick >

This guy insulted pows, gold star families, soldiers and generals yet the self proclaimed "patriots" voted for him in record numbers and continue to defend him. Well, nobody has ever accused the Rs of being smart... >

He’s pissed they wouldn’t back his revolt. >

Keep on waving those Trump flags, Vets! >

What else does this POS have to say so that the 30% realize he is a traitor?? Die already >

Putin must have reminded Cheeto Jesus of peepee tape. >

You’d think this would make him unattractive to military voters, but I bet his military supporters are thinking, “He is right, we do suck. I’m gonna start the best militia ever!!” >

It sounds to me like Trump and his sycophants are becoming increasingly dismayed by the fact that the US military is loyal to the US.  NOT to the GOP. >

Trump is a traitor. Not surprised ar all. >

I bet it’s wild to be a trump supporting military member. 
He’s talking shit about you >

Whether the shit is coming from his mouth or used diaper it is a load of bull. >

Treasonous traitorous sack of shit.  He definitely taught me a good lesson, the Americans who support him are traitors too. >

What the fuck does he know? He’s the most spoiled piece of shit I think I’ve ever seen. Worthless fuck >

Shitting on the military is not exactly a good political move.  And they're way off base.  They freak out about petty things like "CRT" or whatever.  Then somehow translate that to we can't fight or win?   If that's the case they he hell do we spend 800 billion dollars a year on the DoD (it's not the case).   
That said, the DoD is bloated.  But we still have the most formidable military in the world and we could surely treat our vets and active duty people much better (e.g. I read many stories about active duty housing being horrible) >

Donald you forgot to mention genius putin strategies. You wont get your payment this way. >

Fat clown doesn’t know anything about fighting or winning , draft dodging loser trader >

Can we as a society stop using "slams" in every headline? >

Or flaunts >

And a significant portion of them will still drop on knees and beg for the privilege of licking spurred up feet. >

Any fucking time he wants to test that theory with a marine would be a-motherfucking-okay. >

He’s probably forgetting he’s not actually Russian >

He who dodged the draft? Fucking coward. >

Once again he mirrors Russia... sees the mess the Russian troops call fighting in Ukraine and projects it on the American troops...
He does this with just about everything, from wanting to copy the fraudulent Russian "elections" years ago to the adoration of Putin's grip on Russia.
I wonder when it slips out that Trump wants a private army that only answers to him.
Trump wants for the USA all that Russia stands for, and be unhindered to enforce it. >

Wow......how is this buffoon continue to be allowed to get away with stuff like this? Seriously though, Veterans & serving members are listening to him knock them / put them down, and they still bend over and take it????
Here is a fool that has never served, and neither has anyone one his kids or family. This is the same oik who went to North Korea and was saluting Kim Jong's 'generals' first. smh >

Why do people vote for this asshole?  We're literally stymying one of the top 5 armies on the planet by providing our decades-old war surplus to Ukraine.  
And seriously... "as proven in Afghanistan.."  Mother fucker, YOU made the deal for us to withdraw and forced the Afghani people to bend over at the negoitation table because you wouldn't stand behind them and instead supported the Taliban.  We can't "win" a war when the only reason the war is continuing on is our belligerence and we can't forcibly subjugate a foreign country long term against their will.  
Seriously, I hate that fuckin spending five minutes researching ANY of his claims would show how full of shit he is and nobody will fuckin do it. >

Mans lost what little of his goddamn mind was there.
He hit the campaign trail with the intention to burn every bridge he's on. >

He continues being putins puppet even while he’s not the president >

Why is this dipshit still out of prison? >

Fuck this un-American shit bird.  He has never served and has never fought anything that wasn’t drunk and in a skirt. >

Fuck him, his dog, the plane he flys in on, his maids, his businesses, and his family. He doesn’t know anything but how fuck everything up. He just a con man who ran for president and honestly, he isn’t even a good con man and was a sub par president. Good thing is he has been around for 80 years almost so you know the maker is waiting for his exit from this world. >

Weren’t you a commander-in-chief for 4 sad, worthless years? Really? Shut the hell up, man. >

C’mon USA, don’t fall for THIS….. again! Sheesh! He’s not even changing his M.O. >

Says the draft dodger who knows fuck all about military service or combat. I’d like to see this asshole in his prime attempt to fight a single current military member who simply passed basic training. >

Fk him. Why is the being covered? And secondly why is he being allowed to run for president. He conducted a coup against our country. Seriously. >

Remember when he talked shit about a gold star family to their faces on national TV?
Pepperidge Farms remembers. >

stop bashing America... >

My opinion on this is simple:  If someone like the Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, etc. shoot a nuclear ICBM at North America and the most able and qualified person to control the missile defense equipment to shoot it down is trans, I sure as shit hope that they're employed by the military in that position. >

This orange stain can’t get be scrubbed >

Someone need to tell Trump to fuck off... This guy literally bought his way out the army >

If this was just Trump, the thing to do would be to view this as a con and to step back and look for the con.  Trump is trying to trick us.  So what's the play.  Here it would seem just to be the age-old trick of the snake-oil salesman to sell you first on the idea that you have a problem so that he can sell you the solution to this previously unknown problem.
But... the article does a good job underscoring this is not just Trump.
The con remains a significant part of what's going on here.
But the actual issues are deeper a bit more profound.  The more problematic issue isn't that the GOP is evil and trying to lie to you.  It's that they're stupid, locked into hyper-simplistic modes of reasoning.  This dovetails with the red herring ideas about wokeness and anything similar.  But it's more akin to chasing some fever dream of a past ideal. >

Another page from the Fascist playbook.
I suggest we recreate the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate, excise, and cauterize the growing FASCIST cancer within GOP and our nation. >

Republicans love to bash the military when they aren't in power. I remember people making similar claims when Clinton and Obama were in office. Somehow the moment a republican takes power the military is the GREATEST thing ever and anyone saying otherwise is a traitor. >

We need a real-time application through which this shit is broadcast with alerts and tallies for every lie told. At the end of it, we then have a total count of these ass-hats and their disinformation and a direct report-out on the impact of those lies. 
Bury these MF’rs in their own garbage and vitriol. >

He says this for two reasons.  The first is to undercut Biden and support Putin.  The second is to give him or any republican the advanced path to replace generals and the command structure with their cronies if they get power. 
They are setting it up to justify routing out the officers who will defend the constitution and be loyal to the seditionists. >

You mr trump are a degenerate disgrace.  Shut the fuck up you moronic pond scum >

It's starting to feel like Trump is running a scam like The Producers, where he is raising as much money as he can, but he doesn't really want to win.
He shit on evangelicals, now he shits on the military, who does he thinks votes for him? >

Shit talking your military! Super patriotic! >

70% of the military supports this clown, not really comprehending he shit on them regularly >

says the draft dodger. >

I'm very okay with the Trump and GOP hating on our military. It's anathema to a lot of Americans to do that, plus how the fuck are you supposed to pull off a coup to end a government without having the backing of your nation's armed forces? Especially when you would be up against the U.S. military? Absolutely incoherent of the GOP, and I love it. >

It’s crazy how he can say things that go against his supporters’ deeply held beliefs and they just shrug and keep on supporting him. Sunk cost is nuts. >

This sure is a bizarro world when Republicans are shitting on the military, talking about cuts to Defense spending, and not wanting to stand up to unchecked Russian aggression. How much money can Putin possible have to bribe the GOP? >

I don't give a rat's ass what Trump thinks... and neither should anybody else. >

There is a certain ironic logic to this.
If our military is really the strongest in the world, we certainly don't need to increase funding for it. If it is the strongest, now is a good time to evaluate what works best and what is waste. Now is a good time to sell older equipment to allies and spend our efforts training everyone on modern equipment. A budget needs to be the highest during growth, but if we are the best, it is best to reduce the budget and focus on efficiency while maintaining the same standard of quality.
So if we really are the strongest, how do we support "necessary" increases to the budget? We don't. So we can't be the best. We need to be weak, because having a weak military is something people fear. It will keep people pushing to increase the military budget despite cutting social programs and raising taxes on the lower and middle class. Trump's supporters will literally ruin themselves because they fancy it heroic to be in poverty as long as we have a strong military to support and protect the American Dream.
Trump and the far-right are no longer about actual values; they are about theater and fear to stay in power. This farce is just one example. >

Wasn't it basically 2 years ago he was claiming that he completely fixed and overhauled the military, and that we had the greatest military on earth once again after years of being ruined by democrats?
This fascist fuck needs to go away already. >

As a vet, Idgaf about the orange draft dodging pussy opinion on the military unless he's willing to put on a uniform and a rife to go to the front of the battalion to show us how it's done. >

He's just pissed that the military didn't back his attempted coup.
