    Awe, someone's upset that a highly decorated General was mean to fat, stupid trump. Poor wittle guy, ask your mom for a lollipop to make you feel better.

    Probably not to you. You wouldn't care if you learned the allegation was true. Neither would any other trumplicker on this forum.

    Trump never did say how he treated his bone spurs. We know he plays tennis and golf ... never seemed to bother him. And they don't just go away.
    Inquiring minds want to know ... if avoiding war is a cure for bone spurs.

    What were the Kurds children doing in the war zone anyway? I would think they had ample warning to step back but they chose not to. We did not have combat groups there, advisors and people coordinating whatever military strike might have been used. Trump got this one right. The House and Graham got it wrong and should be ashamed of themselves. Graham especially, little swamp denizen though he is.

    Bone spurs aren't that serious. But you should blame the military for listing it as a cause for not being enlisted.

    Ask the President. That's above my paygrade. If I were to hazard a guess though I would guess that Trump has wanted to pull them out for most of his first term and allowed advisors to talk him out of it.

    Now we watch and see if the sky is actually falling.

    The left would be against air if Trump mentioned how much he enjoyed it.

    No worry about that, Trump has already declared that clean air is not necessary. Coal mining, yes. Clean Air - not so much.

    FYI, they live there, been there for centuries.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurds_in_Syria
    Kurdish settlement in Syria goes back to before the Crusades of the 11th century. A number of Kurdish military and feudal settlements from before this period have been found in Syria.

    I believe that's how the left viewed him not to long ago! Amazing how just a couple of Trump insults buys people hated by the left a full redemption and admiration.. I so glad the right doesn't prostitute itself out for such a meager amount ;)

    You don't think knowing that simple detail would make his claims more believable?

    The right has prostituted itself solely to defend trump at all costs.

    1) Trump's evacuation is what created the war zone.
    2) The Kurds were actively trying to make that region their home - a self-governing State, in fact.
    3) Trump abandoned them on a whim and gave them zero warning to pull back.
    4) We had combat groups, advisers, and people coordinating military strikes in that region. They are the ones that Trump removed after revealing he had no spine.

    How in the world is abandoning allies on a whim and leaving them for the wholesale slaughter is "getting it right?"
