Will the military at long last understand that republicans couldn't care less about their lives?

Their commander in Chief taunts a foreign power where thousands of our men and women in uniform are surrounded by millions of people who hate them.


I am terrified about what republicans will do next.
We do NOT want this fucking war!

You can be sure the ones who did that have not been in combat.

I dont know what percentage of the military are still blinded by the very people TRYING to get them killed.

Many of our military are good people, most who have enlisted to SuRVIVE this economy where you have to have 3 jobs to eat.

-- "fuck-ton" being a relative term compared to the healthy amount, which would be zero -- are religious nut-jobs who are motivated towards death-inducing confrontations with Iran (amongst other nations) for weirdo theological reasons.

So, to answer your question: no, at least not enough of them. Because they don't want to understand that. And they would not be motivated by it if they did.

It’s hard to imagine they’re not all bewildered and wondering what the hell is going on.
