    LOL! You're looking for logic in right wing rhetoric?

    90% of front line soldiers? Even after what he did in Syria? Please prove that claim.

    I was just thinking of his public insults (no reporting requried) for the time being, but yes, that too.

    I mean, I didn't poll the people I was deployed with, but their political leanings were pretty obvious.

    You spend a lot of time shooting the ****.

    If you were to ask front line soldiers their opinions, I'd be willing to bet many think we shouldn't have hit Syria with our purse.

    You are literally making this up as you go. Show me where Joe Biden said that he wanted to stop pay raises for soldiers. Go ahead, we will wait.

    I'll save you the time. They BOTH said they wanted to cut the defense budget. YOU made the inference as to where each of them wanted to cut.

    Again, you made an accusation, but can't back it up. Seems to be a theme here lately

    the endless wars were started by Republicans


    http://watchingthewatchers.org/news/624/iraq-war-cost-little-and-iraq-oil

    "If you can remember that far back, before the invasion of Iraq, Dick Cheney and friends were arrogantly sure that (a) the cost of the war would be minimal, and (b) Iraq's oil revenue would fund reconstruction efforts; it would virtually be a no-cost war, one that paid for itself."

    republicans send our children to war, then call them suckers and losers

    They had legitimate reasons to think that But the critical state of Iraqs infrastructure and economy was a complete surprise to everyone.

    we left iraq obama first term...it was freee and stable and he focused on his war of necessity...syria and libya and yemen
    of course he bragged about giving our troops a much earned raise and building the military back and. not just spending it on expensive weapons like obama and biden

    Who does Donald Trump think he is? Calling soldiers killed losers and suckers? and other soldiers fools and babies? I watched Joe Biden's response to this and he rightfully defended the military as being proud to having served in the service fighting for our country. His son Beau was in the military and fought for us all but then died of cancer. When Joe visited Beau's grave, I would consider it an honor for a father to visit his son's grave. Biden and Harris will make a fantastic team for the USA like that of Obama and Biden. We need to get Donald Trump out of there before it's too late.

    As parents of a service member who deployed to Iraq, Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden understand that it’s not just military members who sign up to serve our nation, their families do too. The Bidens understand the sleepless nights, wondering if your deployed loved one is safe; the difficulties children experience while their parent is serving far away; and all the added sacrifices and challenges, big and small, military families face because they choose selfless service. Our military families never fail to give their best to the United States, and we owe them our best in return.

    Less than one percent of Americans sign up to serve. They volunteer to shoulder the sacrifices necessary to keep our country safe. That’s why Vice President Biden has long been adamant that, as a nation, our one truly sacred obligation is to properly prepare and equip our troops when we send them to war, and to take care of them and their families–during deployments and when they return home.

    I'm going to enjoy watching people who have never said a thing about the 'Military Industrial Complex' and have cheered the idea of a bottomless pit for military spending suddenly spewing the phrase like its something they really care about.

    Trump and his cult are mostly vomit inducing, but once in a while the sheer desperation they display in trying to defend him produces a form of sad comedy. If he came out tomorrow and said that capitalism had to be smashed and replaced with worker's collectives half the Trump fans on this board would be favourably quoting Marx inside a week.

    Well, you can always make more children. Just trade in the wife for a new model in her peak breeding years.

    Trump is now calling for an end to "endless wars" - Blue is now a party of Neocon's.

    any questions ?

    have you seen the vote tally on the Authorization for Use of Force in Iraq? Not to mentioned Bill Clinton's bill for Iraq Liberation?

    No doubt that Obama and Biden let the tiger go....and unleashed ISIS on the world....thankfully Trump took care of that mess
