"Two BEAUTIFUL world wars??" - Beautiful????-

[packman]

Trump reminded the Fox News host that the United States "won two beautiful world wars that were vicious and horrible."

1. William Techumsa Sherman said....

WAR IS HELL when he burned Atlanta to the ground.

2. He simply can't stop spewing out superlatives, no matter how inappropriate they might be.

It is just empty, knee jerk (or maybe tongue jerk), typical con man filler words.

[procon]

3. His vocabulary is so limited he probably

doesn't know any other adjectives. At least he didnt say "very" twice.

[unblock]

5. Exactly. He went for "glorious" but the closest he could find was "beautiful"

Even "glorious" strikes me as oddly positive to describe war, but people do use the word sometimes for that.

"Beautiful," not so much.

4. Nothing says beautiful like trenches

filled with bloated corpses killed by gas or 100,000 people incinerated in a second at Hiroshima.

7. yes

10. As someone with World War combat veterans in the family, his statement took my breath away.

My great uncle was in the trenches, during WWI.

One uncle was in the Battle of the Bulge and the other was shipboard in the Pacific, and the two ships on which he served were hit - one by a torpedo and he watched is best friend explode, right in front of him, and the other was hit by a Kamikaze.

Their memories of the wars were anything but beautiful. Both suffered permanent psychological damage that lead to them dying far too young.

Of course, trump* wouldn't understand that because, unlike my family with its GENERATIONS of service, his has none.

11. Two of my great uncles died in WWII

My grandpa would have been in Operation Downfall, the invasion of Japan.

You are right that it is obscene and any member of the service or anyone who has had family serve should reject this sociopathic moron.

12. Or flame throwers or concentrated artillery barrages that went for hours.

6. But...

The crimson rivers of blood were so vivid and bright, like rose petals in the winds of change.

The light, pale blue of millions of dead bodies was so soft and peaceful.

The bombs and explosions were like a staccato symphony of great magnitude, punctuated by the shells whizzing by in a near miss and the throaty, grinding tracks of tanks tearing through the mud.

The horrendous, sickening stench of rotting bodies and fetid, wet fox holes was a piquant perfume wafting through the air and mixing with the endless, brimstone smoke of gunpowder.

Oh, it was beautiful...yeah, right. Perhaps Stalin would have agreed with that esthetic though. Tyrants have uncommon tastes.

[underpants]

8. I laughed out loud about that

Yeah beautiful death and destruction

[BusyBeingBest]

9. Don't look for meaning in gibberish.

[Archae]

13. Dumb question...

What the heck is that animated .gif in your sig line?

[gratuitous]

14. Spoken like someone who's never seen a war

This is the same informed mind that put up the bogus "river of blood" plaque on one of his golf courses.
