And exposes himself once again as being against our people in our military because he wanted absolute loyalty to him, and he couldn't get it, so he attacks them . He uses this same tactic on all those that won't pledge absolute power to him.

She was clearly and justifiably furious about it, going out of her way to trash him for his bone spurs. Well done, as usual.

My late brother survived Vietnam, but came home covered in Agent Orange scars. It killed him here. He was a good, decent, hard working, loving family man. In other words, everything Dear Leader is absolutely not.
