Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,
You say that Donald Trump “loves our troops.” So, once again, I want to know why that is. Is it because he received 5 deferments (for a fake medical condition) from the draft during the Vietnam War? Is it because he demeaned a POW, attacked a Gold Star family and told a military widow that her deceased husband “knew what he had signed up for.”
Was it the time he downplayed the traumatic head injuries suffered by our troops after a missile attack as “not real” because they weren’t ‘missing hands and limbs.’ Is it the time he said he didn’t want to be seen with war-wounded amputees and to keep them forever out of his sight, or the time he called our fallen heroes of war “suckers” and “losers”?
Was it the time he skipped an event in France honoring our Marines because it was raining? Is it the all the times he called our military leaders “dumb” and “overrated” while calling terrorists like the Taliban & Hezbollah “very smart”? Was it the time he demanded the flags after McCain’s death be returned to full mast, or the time he demanded that a ship bearing his name be blocked from view? Was it when he suggested that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff deserved to be executed?
Maybe it was when he asked Gen. John Kelly (who lost his son in combat), why anyone would sign up for service because as far as he saw it, there was “nothing in it for them.” Perhaps it was hearing him say that as President he would allow our adversary to attack the same allies this county’s Greatest Generation fought beside and died defending? Or was it when he insulted Nikki Haley’s husband for currently serving our country overseas?
Was it when he said the Medal of Freedom he gave to his rich donors was “much better” than the Medal of Honor because the recipients of that honor are “in bad shape or dead.” Was it when he insisted on using the sacred shrine that is Arlington National Cemetery, the final resting place for more than 400,000 veterans and their families, as a photo op for his campaign despite the fact that he wasn’t allowed to do so and officials there were attacked by his staff for trying to stop him?
Was it when he decimated the VA and gutted a suicide prevention hotline meant to help our veterans in their darkest hour? Is it the fact that he’s fired more of our veterans than any other president in our history?
Or was it when he skipped the dignified transfer of the four soldiers who died in Lithuania so he could host a glittery gala at his gilded golf motel for the folks who funded 9/11?
Which of those things makes you believe he loves our troops? Which one? Because for the life of me, I can’t figure it out, and I’d really, really love to know.

Trumps record of belittling America's military men and women is an open and shut case, even if you (wrongly) discount the stories coming from John Kelly.
