The Republican undisputed leader thinks all our soldiers are "suckers" and "losers."

Trump Has Mocked the U.S. Military His Whole Life
Egged on by his father, the U.S. president began expressing contempt for Americans who fight in wars as far back as high school, his classmates say.

Perhaps no one was less surprised last week when it was reported that U.S. President Donald Trump had called American war dead losers and suckers than his former high school classmate George M. White.
The 74-year-old retired Army veteran was Trumps superiorthe first captain, or highest-ranking cadetin Trumps 1964 graduating class at the New York Military Academy. White said he witnessed up close Trumps contempt for military service, discipline, and tradition, as well his ungoverned sense of entitlement, all helped along by his father Fred Trumps generous donations to the school.
No, those remarks absolutely didnt surprise me. In my dealings with him he was a heartless, obnoxious son of a bitch, White told me in an interview over the weekend.
According to White and other former classmates at the academy, Trumps five years there, coupled with the disregard for U.S. military traditions he learned at his fathers knee, helps explain a great deal of the presidents reported contempt for those who fought, died, or were wounded in Americas wars, as well as his skeptical view of the need for the United States to fight in places like Vietnam and Iraq.
