Trump describes two world wars as 'beautiful' and threatens to veto bill renaming military bases

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a wide-ranging interview on Sunday with Fox News’s Chris Wallace, Donald Trump has once again refused to entertain the idea of renaming US military forts that currently bear the names of Confederate generals.

The subject came up as Wallace asked Mr Trump if he would veto the National Defence Authorisation Act, the annual legislation that funds military operations.

This year’s bill includes a provision renaming US military bases that are currently named after generals of the Confederacy – that is, men who fought against the Union to protect the institution of slavery. Those bases include Fort Bragg, the US Army’s largest base.

Mr Trump has vocally opposed this renaming on various occasions, and did the same on Sunday, threatening to veto the bill if Congress sends the name change to his desk.

“What are you going to name it, Chris, tell me what you’re going to name it? So there’s a whole thing here. We won two world wars, two world wars, beautiful world wars that were vicious and horrible, and we won them out of Fort Bragg, we won out of all of these forts that now they want to throw those names away...

If Cadet Bonespurs actually served in Vietnam he'd know that wars aren't beautiful.

1. Trump is a damn fascist, those wars were romanticized, heroic victories,

hell he probably thinks he won them.

2. Take your pick asshat...

Patton
Eisenhower
MacArthur
Bradley
Doolittle
Schindler

Less well-known but still more worthy than Bragg:

David McCampbell
(shot down 34 Japanese planes, engaging the enemy many times despite overwhelming odds. On Oct. 24, 1944, he shot down nine planes in 95 minutes.)

Eugene B. Fluckey
One of the most daring submarine commanders of World War II, Fluckey found 30 Japanese vessels hiding in a harbor and damaged six of them in early 1945. His submarine managed to evade Japanese patrol boats and escape.

George E. Day *Instead of "Lee" anywhere it is used for Robert E. Lee's continued memory*
Day, who fought in World War II and Korea, received the Medal of Honor for enduring hardship during this captivity in North Vietnam, where he was captured twice and held as a POW for over five years.

That took 5 minutes...I'm sure there are THOUSANDS of worthy replacements available, all that is needed is the courage and decency to ACT...
