Trump: Bad things happen in war. War is a nasty place. I see it. I see it better than maybe anybody has ever seen it.

Trump: "In war, terrible things happen. Like you mentioned the school gets hit. Other things get hit. Bad things happen in war. War is a nasty place. I see it. I see it better than maybe anybody has ever seen it."

Why isn’t he looking up and nodding when “Sir” brags about his war expertise? After all….look at all of Trump’s top-notch battle plans, his box full of Vietnam War combat medals, his obvious reverence for our military.

...and Mr. Purple Heart Dunce Cap Wearer standing next to Trump should get a good ass kicking by politicizing the medal.
I will happily volunteer. I'm about the same age but in much better shape. He wouldn't have any teeth in his stupid head by the
time I was finished. I think I've reached my limit with these idiots.

This war was a war of choice and the stated reason about nuclear weapons conflicted with his statements that we had completely destroyed their facilities months before.

Contrast his eagerness to "destroy an entire civilization" with Secretary of State Kerry's emotional comments when JCPOA was signed that they had avoided war.

I can guaran-fucking-tee you that I saw war in a way that you can't even imagine, and was doing so while you were valiantly dodging Chlamydia at Studio 54.
Fuck off and die, you unspeakable asshole.
