It’s even richer coming from those who never served.

I find that rather adorable though. They’re like temporary sidekicks for hire, without pay.

It’s so sad to watch over the last 3 years how what used to be Republicans who naturally supported our troops turn into denigrators of our troops…first our POWs, then our Gold Star families, then our generals and admirals, then our troops wounded by a rocket attack launched by Iran, and now an actual vet…one who actually served and is now running for President.

Exactly my point and why we have to remain vigilant that our laws remain secular.

As a retired Navy vet, I condemn any denigration of any of our troops who served honorably…in peace or in war.

And for the rest of you who are actual combat veterans, it is your duty to call these posers out as you see them.

Nah. It’s lazy.
It’s a fifth grader insult.

I can only speak for myself; problem? No. Will I vote for him because of it? No.

It has to be hard for civilians to understand our pecking order.

They don’t understand our culture. Do Pogues try to forget after they get out?

It was an ugly and bigoted comment, THAT is what was offensive.

No, but the posing gets easier from what I’ve seen.
We had a Sp/4 Supply guy when I was in the 82nd. We found an extra set of greens in his locker. Ranger tab, Pathfinder, Recondo school, etc. E6 stripes.
Wore them when he went home to Maryland.
We DXd him.

so, he was dekpyed into a war zone, correct? When that happens, do they issue you a weapon and combat gear?
How else could he have gotten that?
Are you allowed to just go to the armory and borrow a rifle and vest and what not for a photo shoot?

So how is he posing?
What was his position on his deployment? Are you saying he wasn’t issued the weapon and gear he was wearing?
I really can’t imagine why you guys are making fun of a fellow military man like this. It makes sense only in the worst of lights.
