    The draft dodging trump refused to name or even thank the war hero for whom the bill he signed was explicitly named. And he did so because he is a petty little bitch of a snowflake. Cadet Bone Spurs is a disgrace to the term "commander in chief."

    Welcome back! Was wondering where you went.

    Love how the Rads at CNN always have to throw in the "who didn't serve" meme. Don't recall that regurgitation applied continuously with the previous occupant at the White House.

    As to McCain, who F'n cares? The guy showed his party what a tool he had become. Not surprised the President decided to only thank those who did all the heavy lifting.

    trump's a disgrace to anything pertaining to the human race and calling him a "petty little bitch" in an insult to petty little bitches. He's a waste of oxygen.

    I don't recall the previous occupant explicitly and repeatedly attacking the war record of people who did serve. So yea, pointing out Trump's lack of a record makes a great deal of sense.

    As for who the **** cares about John McCain? I would point to the "heavy lifters" that named this bill the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act.

    But good job fulfilling your role of always defending Trump, regardless of his actions. Go collect your paycheck Ocean.

    McCain has been a jerk for 30 years.

    Even so, Trump could have mentioned McCain once or twice.

    Normal people should be triggered by Trump's behavior.

    If he's been such a big jerk, they probably shouldn't have named the bill after him....

    More pettiness from the 13 year old girl the US elected with 46.1% of the vote.... But please, keep supporting him...

    LOL

    Back to your old tricks.

    What happened over the last month? Suspended? Served time? Vacation?

    Don't be a sore loser.

    Do you recall how many time the previous President was called out as someone "who never served"? I don't.

    Since you imply it happened over and over, perhaps you can back that claim.

    As to the Military, and how those who served this country think, why not let them speak...

    https://www.militarytimes.com/news/...ver-here-s-how-the-military-rates-his-legacy/

    More than half of troops surveyed in the latest Military Times/Institute for Veterans and Military Families poll said they have an unfavorable opinion of Obama and his two-terms leading the military. About 36 percent said they approve of his job as commander in chief.

    Their complaints include the president’s decision to decrease military personnel (71 percent think it should be higher), his moves to withdraw combat troops from Iraq (59 percent say it made America less safe) and his lack of focus on the biggest dangers facing America (64 percent say China represents a significant threat to the U.S.)

    I can’t believe someone wasted their time writing up this article. Look—we already know Trump is a petty ******; it’s not really newsworthy anymore.

    That said, McCain is one of my favorite politicians—a man of compromise willing to work across the board.

    Neither OBAMA nor CLINTON "NOT SERVING" was EVER BROUGHT UP by the suddenly, "pro-military" left.

    Sickening duplicity.

    Ya think?? You mean to tell me McCain didn't author the bill, then name it after himself??

    No, see what happened here is a bunch of Congresspeople thought that a bill authorizing defense spending should be named after a Congressional war hero, probably closing in on death.... and that simple recognition cannot be acknowledged by President Pussypants...

    And yet again you avoid supporting your own assertion. When did Obama "show incredible callousness and disregard for our Military and those who served?"

    And you seriously do not want to get into a scenario where I quote military people reacting to Trump's explicit attacks on war heroes who get captured, do you?

    And no, I am not going to waste my time finding a bunch of instances where Obama was called out as "someone who did not serve." Here's one example from the NY Times, but you are on your own if you want to find other examples. I simply don't give a ****. Obama was explicitly and repeatedly criticized for a whole host of real and imaginary scenarios. His lack of a military record was explicitly cited, especially when he ran for office in 2008 against John McCain.

    What do you think those opinions are based on MrTLegal? Obama's love and support for the Military? Under who's watch did the VA scandals hit the spotlight?

    You should know better that to apply that worn out BS played on debate sites.

    But I do note you get to make a bunch of claims, without backing them, while demanding I prove mine. Dang, at least I provided a link to polls from those who served.

    And please, don't threaten me. How old are you?

    Must not have been vacation.....

    He's probably referring to the time Obama saluted a soldier with a coffee cup in his hand. The right wing and FOX complained about that for weeks.
