Lol. Thanks for telling us all how fricking stupid you are. I mean, how fricking stupid are you when the only two options in your political universe are suck Trump's cock or vote Biden? Have you always been that fricking stupid?
You appear to have some serious anger issues...

IB Screamin has already posted this. He believes that ii is a factual statement. I say it is an unsubstantiated one (lie?). I’m telling the truth. The board’s Chinese Communist is spreading a probable lie (propaganda), much like Russian piss hookers, good people on both sides, or the N word. It really is amazing how many stupid people repeatedly fall for the lies.
It's not a lie, it's been posted before, for example in Bob Woodward's book about Trump and Rex Tillerson confirmed it in a CNN interview about six years ago.

Link?
If I say Mark Miley is a pos (which can be verified by his cowardly acts exactly 30 years ago today) am I disparaging the military?
The only time Trump has said negative things about anyone in uniform it’s been about specific individuals. Try as the left (like you) might, that won’t stick.
Maybe ya’all can go back to tax returns or Russia, Russia, Russia!

Well I’m a veteran and I’ve turned anti-military.
Trump,Clinton,Bush,everyone else that avoided the Viet Nam war were a whole lot smarter than me.
I joined the Navy at 17 to avoid the Army.I wanted to join the Marines but my Dad wouldn’t sign for me.He was in the Navy in the Pacific during WW2,so he knew what the Marines were about.
I was a ignorant,naive,noob that swallowed all the bull$hit about fighting Communism in Southeast Asia,domino theory etc.I wanted to do my part.I was in the Seabees and never got sent to Viet Nam,I volunteered twice when the Navy asked.To be clear,they never called me for some reason so I still didn’t go.
IMO,we haven’t fought an honest war since WW2.It’s just about the MIC and bunch of high ranking officers getting rich off the blood,sweat and tears of our young men.They don’t give 2 shits about our county or the soldiers and sailors that get killed or maimed physically or mentally.They’re just collateral,damage on their road to riches.
I’ve recently had conversations,with 2 retired Marines,One had 26 years,he didn’t really seem to have any regrets but he said he didn’t want his sons to join.
Another was a fairly recent retiree of 20 years.He said he was slow to realize what a big lie it all was and that he wished he had done something else with his life.
Sad commentary on our country and military.

Same, except I am NOT anti-military. I am anti-war, even with my son currently serving on the tip of the spear. Maybe even more so.

I think when we went into Afghanistan it was under a honest pretense - the Taliban were absolutely harboring AQ and AQ was absolutely behind 9/11. It can be strongly argued Saudi Arabia was equally responsible for the attacks (if not equally, responsible enough to face some form of reprisal).
Regardless of how we began the campaign in Afghanistan what Bush did the rest of the time and followed by Obama, rendered whatever righteousness we started with mute.
Our elected political people are not representing American interests as our system was designed to do and that is creating the sunsetting of America. How long this country is going to last - who knows but we are near or have passed the point of no return.

Recall his TruthSocial post insinuating that GEN Milley had committed treason by conspiring with China against his presidency.
But Milley did tell China they would get a heads up if Trump ordered something against them.
Do you not consider that treason?

Was there any reason Trump or anyone who was President in January 2021 to attack China?
No, there was no rational reason.
The only person who could do something crazy like that was someone crazy and irrational.
Trump was, or was acting, crazy and irrational in January 2021. Like a mental breakdown or something.
For this reason, Milley called the Chinese and said effectively, look our leaders is a bit stressed out right now, don't watch too much CNN and don't get the wrong idea. If he goes completely off his rocker and starts wanting to bomb people for power or whatever, we will give you a heads up.
I have no problem with that, nor would I if such a call was made to Russia (and I do NOT like Russia!).

Yea, shitty thing to say. And MAGA-tards ask for evidence he’s ever said anything negative about the military they dismiss this statement as, “yea he said it but he you have to consider context.” If he wasn’t on video saying it I guarantee they’d still be stuck at, “fake news”

The same Groomers sticking up for McCain in this thread were the same Groomers calling him a Racist and Nazi when he was up against Obama. Now McCain is a hero to the left.

i'm not really a big Trump guy, but this post is some grade A bullshite. the fricking chairman of the joint chiefs doesnt call our enemies and tell them that kind of thing for ANY frickING REASON. he is not qualified either professionally or constitutionally to decide when and if the CINC is too stressed out to be the CINC.
frick out of here with this bullshite.

I suggest you do some digging into some earlier military history. This behavior is nothing new; the Brits, the Romans, the Crusades, etc.
All of you complaining about the MIC are forgetting to include Congress in that equation. Congress repeatedly funds stuff the military doesn't ask for, and doesn't want. But, we vote for them.

do you disagree that the previous punishment for treason was death?

The comment about McCain as a POW clearly relates to the US military. Whether Trump said the other things he’s being accused of … who knows?

The release of a virus from a lab in China might have had something to do with it.

Then you would be a traitor as well.
