    Welcome. I'm curious as to your reaction to the reports about Trump calling soldiers 'losers' and 'suckers'? As a Korean veteran do you feel any sense of pride if it is true that our president disparaged the military in this way?

    His words and his actions never line up. He asked John Kelly, as they stood at the foot of John Kelly's dead son's grave. "I don't get it, what was in it for them?"

    Tell me, what was in it for you to fight in N. Korea? Never mind, Trump is a sociopath and has no understanding of what patriotism means. Do you think John McCain was a hero?

    My time in Korea was educational and I served as a non combatant & like John Mc Cain who was also a veteran but no hero either. Hero has different meanings. Audie Murphy was a Hero. JFK was a Hero, Harry Truman was no Hero.

    Keep up your anti Trump BS cause it will not make any difference in his winning. Trump a sociopath??

    You got it correct, he's a malignant narcissistic sociopath with no soul, no empathy, no care for anyone but Trump. You don't consider John McCain to have been a hero even though unlike yourself, he served in combat, spent five and a half years in one of the worst POW camps in Vietnam, had injuries that affected him until the day he died. Nor do you object when Trump shows disdain for John Kelly's dead son. Trump is a monster and YOU support the monster.

    And you don't need to remind me to "keep up anti-Trump BS" because I will never stop telling you Trumpers what an egregious mistake you've made for the welfare of this country.

    Thank you for your service lonjay. My father in law was a Korean War era veteran. His service was stateside. We lost him to alzheimers early last year. He would have been 91 now.

    I live near Dallas Texas.

    I had a friend who was a POW with John McCain. He was my Sunday school teacher at a previous church I attended. I never asked him about McCain, but I get the impression he didn't like him as a politician. He told the most interesting POW stories sometimes. He talked about the torture and yielding to the torture and the mind games the Vietnamese would play with the POWs. My friend was there for over 7 years. He was Jolly Green before he was captured. Finished out his Air Force career as a chaplain.

    Welcome.

    But, may I ask you a question (if you don't mind)?

    And, by all means, feel free to not answer.

    No biggy, either way.

    What made you finally decide to become an active poster at PF, 27 Months after registering an account?

    Once again, Welcome.
    And, all the best in enjoying your time here.:salute:

    Many people register to forums and then forget to return. I've seen it a million times here on this one. You should have seen it too if you're active in this section of the forum.

    Just remember to keep your head down and your ammo nearby. Now why did I tell a vet of the "Forgotten War" that which he already knows? Sorry, and welcome back.

    Greetings from Canada.... if I was an American I would certainly vote for President Trump as well. In my opinion he has phenomenal courage to take on the gang who control CNN.

    Hello Lonjay,

    being Republican is a good thing. I would be too if I were US citizen. But being a Trumpster is an unforgivable sin.
    Here's what some other Reps think of crooked Donald: https://rvat.org/

    If Donald Trump becomes president again, he will destroy the US as Hitler did with Germany. So please be wise when you're voting next time.

    How come no one calls the pilots who returned from raids in North Vietnam “heroes”.
