    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Craig Calcaterra

    Trump's respect for the military is limited & conditional, but the interesting thing is hearing him criticized on that ground from the sorts of people who used to say "if Republicans loved the military, they'd start fewer wars." That's Trump's own pitch now.https://twitter.com/craigcalcaterra/status/1301639910701621251 …

    Craig CalcaterraVerified account @craigcalcaterra
    People are gonna vote for this guy because they automatically equate "Republican" with "supports the military." https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/ …

        No wonder Trump doesn’t care about Russia offering bounties for dead American soldiers in Afghanistan. He thinks they’re suckers for joining, losers if they die. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1301637354617270273 …

        That criticism is probably legitimate if delivered by anyone interested in, or remotely familiar with, diplomacy and statesmanship, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Most Democrats are not anti-military and most Democrats aren't even "anti-war" in the pejorative version of that term. Most people who opposed the Iraq War still supported our troops fighting over there. And if Cheney and Rumsfeld weren't warmongers, more troops WOULD be alive.

        Man I really was thinking hard about how you would spin this. Wanting fewer wars is not the same as calling dead soldiers losers. That’s abhorrent

        I agree. Just noting that the same people who did all the same things once have changed their tune.

        The President called dead US soldiers losers, didn’t know who the good side was in WWI, & didn’t want wounded warriors present for public events & your takeaway on what’s “interesting” about it all is how his critics mirror his fewer wars pitch?????

        Donald Trump, in a White House meeting, asked that a military parade exclude wounded veterans, because "nobody wants to see" amputees. My story here: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/ …

        Cute, retweeting Craig when you know he’s disowned himself of you.
