I'm a veteran. I don't mind that Trump thinks I'm a loser and a sucker.

If Trump expressed admiration and respect for me, I'd start to wonder what it was I was doing wrong...

1. You have a point.

Being insulted by Trump is a badge of honor.

[SheltieLover]

2. Absolutely!

Ty for your service! We appreciate you.

[Siwsan]

3. Same here

[BComplex]

4. "If Trump expressed admiration and respect for me"....you'd likely be in jail!

That's his record on the people he admires.

8. I agree but it is not what anyone should consider acceptable from from the CIC

I truly hope the Biden campaign and/or Lincoln Project can do an ad that compiles the disrespect Trump has consistently shown our troops and veterans. From his Cadet Bone Spurs days, to John McCain slams, to ignoring bounties on US soldiers' heads to this recent "losers" slander. Lots of ammunition there and as vets we feel it maybe more intensely but I think it resonates very widely with the voting public as well.

9. Exactly

10. The loser trup, the orange thing

Yes if he liked me i would worry greatly. USAF 1975-1979.
Jimmy Carter a true Christian and leader, if he liked me I would smile and say
thank-you Sir.

13. Thank you, and welcome to DU.

11. I've been thinking that

about MAGATS - the greatest compliment they can pay me is their dislike and disdain. To be respected by them would suggest a lack of morals and values that would shame me.

14. Well

You brought into his BS, and simply put,
you were used!

[Sneederbunk]

15. You are not a loser and a sucker.

Trump is the loser and his supporters are the suckers.

[Thekaspervote]

16. Thank you for your service!! You sure nailed his ass!!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

17. Exactly.

Being praised by Trump says all the wrong things.

[sarge43]

18. Yup. Moron attaboy isn't something any decent person wants on the resume.

Anyway, we've been insulted by far better carbon based entities than Moron ... training instructors for example.

19. My father, older brother and I are "suckers". My uncle in Canada was a "sucker". trump is a fucker!

[Wounded Bear]

20. The approbation of the unworthy is to be cultivated...

21. Thank You for your service to the U.S.A., this post, and your service at Democratic Underground.

Thank You...

22. Actually a lot of people think of us vets as suckers.

I heard it in high school when I signed up, while I was in and when I got out and then went to college. It doesn't bother me at all because I joined to serve and get money for college rather then going deep into debt with college loans. I have a number of friends in their 40's and 50's still paying off their college loans today. I have none. So four years of service has paid off. I also get free medical and mental health care. I receive medical prescriptions with a small co-pay. Some people I know go to the free clinic to get their health care or if they have insurance they have huge deductibles and co-pays on expensive prescriptions.
