All this talk about how Trump is offending service members is eerily reminiscent of how everyone was saying Evangelicals were repulsed by Trump but then ended up voting for him in droves

(70,282 posts)disgusting Trump.
I have a young nephew-kinda of a lost soul, good soul just does not know what to do now that he is out of HS. my brother, who was in the Navy had given him advice to join the Navy. He had served in peacetime on an aircraft and learned about airplanes and got a good job when he got out. Anyway, my nephew was seriously considering it but he also listens to the news and just does not know at this point.
