The military in the USA have been steadfastly loyal to the

into power centers with their own amoral political interests and no
affection for daylight.

We who serve in the US Military take an oath to "Uphold the Constitution, and to defend the United States against all enemies, both Foreign and Domestic."

We are not released from that oath, after we are discharged. To the gutless lefties who try to trash America, they will likely never understand this issue.

I look at those who openly brag that they didn't serve but their family members did, to be on the same level of 'Stolen Valor' types.

Their Moms and grandmas, too?

I served, along with family members of both parents. Most were during WWII, but some during Korea and Vietnam. Mostly in the Army, followed by the Navy and Marines. There was no Air Force when most of them served.

One of my Aunts served in the WAC during WWII, and one grandmother was a nurse that worked with Veterans. Did yours?

First he doesn't want me to talk about my family. Now he wants me to
answer questions about my family. Sheesh!

Was that a compliment or an insult?

In fact it harked back to John F. Kennedy's administration, so probably neither.

Kennedy and Obama were both published authors - which is to say more intellectual than most US presidents - which may have been the link being high-lighted.

Miliary personnel are NOT admonished to be loyal to their commander

on duty. However, we are supposed to make observations and decisions
based on those onservations,

I believe that they are expected to obey the orders of superior
officers, with some penalties if they don't... all the way up the
chain of command.

The crucial point is that they swear to obey lawful orders.

Trump can't be relied on to give lawful orders.

The top military officer now happens to be Donald
Trump, the constitutional Commander In Chief.

Pity about that.

and this person observed criminal
behavior from way back before he even ran.

Funny coincidence, I have sometimes observed criminal behavior too.

I suspect that DLUNU meant "exhibited". Trump's trick of trying to bully the Ukranian government into digging up dirt on the Bidens was criminal, and he doesn't seem to have realised it at the time, or since then.

a particular class of narcissism.

He lives by and believes fantasy bullshit about how things are.
Very similar stupidity we saw with the Tea Party dipshits. He may be
one.

It is real simple, Johnny. Donald J. Trump is a criminal and has
no business in our nation's highest office. There has been SEVERAL
junctures at which he should have simply resigned.

He must have forgot. Email him and straighten him out.

Egomaniacs don't take kindly to suggestions that they may have got something wrong. John Larkin illustrates this here pretty regularly.

They don't have a lot insight into their own behavior either - any suggestion that they are less than perfect is so obviously wrong that they can't take it seriously.

More than half of the veterans who've served in combat I've known
personally were liberals/Democrats, sooooo.....

Did that make them disloyal to their Commander in Chief?

Since that wouldn't have been Trump, it isn't a useful question.

They do promise to obey any lawful order, and Trump doesn't seem to have a particularly sound grasp of legal niceities - which is odd in somebody who has been as litigious as he has.

Presumably he sees the law as one more tool to be used to bully other people, and his lawyers do seem to have been a trifle unscrupulous.

Are you sure that wasn't 'Camel lot'? ;-)

That term applied to Hillary's staff, on loan from Hamas.

Cite?

But maybe it should also apply to a guy who went to school during his
formative years in Indonesia.

Probably not. Camels aren't native to Indonesia. There are now wild camels in Australia, but camels were only introduced about a century or so ago as beasts of burden, and the wild camels are the offspring of the ones that got away. There's not a lot of desert in the Indonesian archipelago.

This is hilarious: Congress will send their Seargeant at Arms to

Liar. I answered your question, but it wasn't what you expected. That Aunt and her Husband met in the Army during WW-II. He was my dad's older brother.. My dad was to young to serve during WW-II, and he was married before Korea. I had five 4F medical ratings, but they disappeared when they discovered the Electronics field that I was working in. I could have acted like you and avoided serving, but some of us were raised with a strong sense of Duty.

Only fights going on at the time I was 18 were started by Bill Clinton
against destitute 3rd world countries, and the only fights going on when
I was 25 were against some more destitute 3rd world countries whose
citizens never did anything to us. The territory of the United States or
its population was never in the slightest danger aside from a terrorist
attack that could have been prevented aside from the US government's own
miserable incompetence.

Where was the "Duty" in any of that? One of Trump's own points of policy

John McCain was no hero. His father and his Grandfather were. McCain was a disaster in a Navy uniform. A fire that he caused on an Aircraft carrier killed 134 people. If his dad wasn't in charge of all the Vietnam forces, he would have ended up in Ft. Leavenworth. He is a prime example of Stolen Valor. People who served with him described him as a loser.

That's a load of tosh according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_USS_Forrestal_fire

A missile from one aircraft hit a second aircraft. McCain
was the pilot in a third aircraft next to the first.

Dangerous decomposing bombs had been loaded and
stored on the deck. They split and detonated.

How do you turn that into McCain causing the fire?

You are truly stupid. You have no idea of how the Military works. It is above your pay grade and it always will be.

I think you thought military service would provide an eternal licensed
requirement for everyone to kiss your ass but you're not the military,
you're just one more jerk among millions, now. And don't "represent" shit.

That their contempt for Trump should be all the greater in that he
shares quite a number of their same attitudes but has the audacity to be
about 10% radically different opinions in certain areas isn't too
surprising, either. "not invented here"-mentality



The military in the USA have been steadfastly loyal to the
Constitution and to the people. CIA, FBI, DOJ seem to have evolved
into power centers with their own amoral political interests and no
affection for daylight.

We who serve in the US Military take an oath to "Uphold the Constitution, and to defend the United States against all enemies, both Foreign and Domestic."

We are not released from that oath, after we are discharged. To the gutless lefties who try to trash America, they will likely never understand this issue.

I look at those who openly brag that they didn't serve but their family members did, to be on the same level of 'Stolen Valor' types.

Their Moms and grandmas, too?

I served, along with family members of both parents. Most were during WWII, but some during Korea and Vietnam. Mostly in the Army, followed by the Navy and Marines. There was no Air Force when most of them served.

One of my Aunts served in the WAC during WWII, and one grandmother was a nurse that worked with Veterans. Did yours?


First he doesn't want me to talk about my family. Now he wants me to
answer questions about my family. Sheesh!

Liar. I answered your question, but it wasn't what you expected. That Aunt and her Husband met in the Army during WW-II. He was my dad's older brother. My dad was to young to serve during WW-II, and he was married before Korea. I had five 4F medical ratings, but they disappeared when they discovered the Electronics field that I was working in. I could have acted like you and avoided serving, but some of us were raised with a strong sense of Duty.


Only fights going on at the time I was 18 were started by Bill Clinton
against destitute 3rd world countries, and the only fights going on when
I was 25 were against some more destitute 3rd world countries whose
citizens never did anything to us. The territory of the United States or
its population was never in the slightest danger aside from a terrorist
attack that could have been prevented aside from the US government's own
miserable incompetence.

Good luck to ya, fella. I've had the honor of hearing the experiences of
many more interesting and accomplished service members than you and your
boring, attention-seeking old rambles about the only thing you ever did.

That's a load of tosh according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_USS_Forrestal_fire

A missile from one aircraft hit a second aircraft. McCain
was the pilot in a third aircraft next to the first.

Dangerous decomposing bombs had been loaded and
stored on the deck. They split and detonated.

How do you turn that into McCain causing the fire?

By believing something Trump has claimed? Michael Terrell isn't famous for his careful critical thinking.

Possibly, but I await Terrell's explanation.
