        Big deal! It’s been longer than that since we’ve had a president with a backbone. Now we have Trump and you guys have been reduced to nothing.

        Aaaaannd what about your response is relative to the topic? A Backbone is your concern...? Looks like you just wanted to aimlessly chime in to an irrelevant point. The person you speak of has the backbone of a Slinky..not to insult the Slinky, in any way.pic.twitter.com/e4lOFeHEJr

        What are you trying to say? The military love this president and they are sick and tired of people that pretend if they care. Fake News

        Before anyone decides that should be #POTUS45's job, he already met with USCG members while on vacay in SoFlo.

        I know it looks good for him to come over, but isn't the big boss showing up actually the last thing you want to deal with on Christmas?

        Mattis has spent more time visiting troops on the front lines, sometimes right in foxholes, than the next 100 generals combined.

        Mattis is old and he likes his comforts. It’s a shame that our American soldiers don’t have a leader that cares about their comfort.
