countless military families are struggling, just to get by with all the cuts from those Republican presidents the last 45+ years.

and yet, I am appalled at all the military people who are Trumphumping Republicans........Is that totally fucked up or what?
And worshipping the current president that sends them to die in un-needed wars, and who openly calls them all SUCKERS AND LOSERS?????..............NOW THAT IS UN-FATHOMABLE.................

WTF ??????????????
