An Open Letter To Donald Trump From A Wounded Marine

a reply to: Benevolent Heretic

Come on at this point?

Still better than hillary.

Unless he is a clinton plant in which case it doesn't matter either way.

USA choose this mess with your two party system.

The writer of that letter got many, many things wrong. Lots of misconceptions. I guess I couldn't expect much from someone that would post their opinion to HuffPo, but at least it was easy to read.

Lol

Anything specific that you can list about the "many things" a member of the American Armed Services "got wrong" ... or is this just an attempt at a drive-by, low-information swipe at a veteran's heart-felt opinion?

Sure, Hillary is the worst possible choice anyone could make period.

She is the most establishment candidate that ran for office in my life time.

Ah, you think you can guilt trip me into changing my opinion into something you agree with? Are you really that partisan that you forget that Veterans are human beings too? They can be wrong just as anyone else can be wrong.

" but demonstrate what little regard you have for veterans and the national security issues which affect all of us.


Was that meant for Clinton? Seriously, that quote sums up Hillary Clinton to a tee.

She might sleep through WW3 who knows.

We'll have the first president with Alzheimers.

I mean seriously America we couldn't do better?

Why not, she slept through Benghazi.

Thanks for your opinion!

That's not what this is about. Care to challenge anything in the OP's letter?

Or you just on board to snipe and make off-topic remarks.

Many Americans feel the same way about Donald J. Trump. Polls continue to show that between 60 and 70% of Americans disapprove of him, his campaign, his statements, his disrespect for veterans, his blatant egotism, etc.

Hillary is not topic here. Got anything else?

I asked the same SEAL on Twitter who told me Benghazi was a complete lack of leadership about what he thinks about the presidential hopefuls.

Still waiting for his response but that was yesterday I hope he either answers it on his podcast or tweets.

He usually responds to people.

I trust Trump takes advice from higher ranked military personnel more than I trust Hillaries ability to show leadership in a militarily involved armed conflict like she has already failed to do in Benghazi.

If she could admit to doing wrong it should me that she at least is willing to be better in the future.

You show me 1 single video of Hillary ever admitting wrong, about anything ever.

Not a single one.

Why on earth would you think I care about or am trying to change your opinion? This thread is about a letter written by a well-recognized American Veteran who has made clear and truthful comments about Donald J. Trump.

If you can't actually discuss those claims, why are you here? And please, don't throw the partisan brick ... it'll bounce right back at you.

In what way is this American hero's opinions wrong in your mind? That's what we're discussing here.

a reply to: Gryphon66

well-recognized

What's that mean?

And when a Navy SEAL task force commander tells me that there was a total failure in leadership and that's why our ambassador got brutally tortured to death and 2 former SEAL operatives died I'll take his word for it.

Why not, she slept through Benghazi.

You guys can't even get your own stories straight. Did she sleep through it? Or did she actively order Marines not to respond?

What does that have to do with the letter that OP is discussing? Anything?

a reply to: Gryphon66

Your endorsing Hillary by being against Trump..

Don't say your not either because that's who's running against him.

a reply to: imod02

Everyone is pretty much disposable as far as business and government types are concerned.

It's just more obvious with military than it is with people dying slowly in convalescent homes of old age, or people living on the street because they lost their home to the bank.

Out of sight, Out of mind.

The world just pretty much sucks.

The vet in question went to huffpost, so either he is trying to sell a lefty book, or he is a lefty, at which point no matter what trump does he is the devil.

Trump has done nothing worse than Clinton has except use mean words...

Lol, his words don't bother me, I actually enjoy watching the sensitive snowflakes freak out that he said something they said he can't say.

This is how free speech works, you don't get to tell me what I can say, then claim im evil because I didn't put myself in your box.

All Trump has done, is give voice to the silent majority that is tired of trigger warnings safe space retardation and identity politics.

Read the short bio provided in the OP and I think you will answer your own question.

Yes, the Navy SEAL you're talking to on Twitter ... versus 9 Congressional investigations, Generals, Admirals, Members of the Special Forces, etc. who have stated time and time and time again that there was no way to create a different outcome at Benghazi.

But, sure, I'd be glad to talk about your findings on Twitter ... in an appropriate thread. This discussion is not about Benghazi or Hillary Clinton. It's about an American Vet's take on Donald J. Trump.

a reply to: Gryphon66

You can't have one without the other sorry they are running against each other and if your creating threads about one or the other expect this to be how the conversation evolves.

You expect me to believe their investigations like I'm suppose to believe the Warren Commission or the 911 commissions or the other plethora of commissions and investigations that turn up nothing?

Yeah I'll take his word for it.

a reply to: Sargeras

... lefty this ... lefty that ... and you have the audacity to accuse me of being "partisan"?

LOL.

Donald J. Trump has proven himself to be a dishonest, bloviating, irrational, totally-out-of-his-league braggart.

Fine. So you're registered your contempt for a fellow vet.

I guess that freedom of speech you both fought for is still in place.

Bully.

No one is trying to tell you what you can say, maybe drop the snowflake-victim complex for once?

What you're going about is not on topic here. I'd like to discuss the topic, and I'd be glad if you'd join me.

The "silent majority of 30% or so that agree with him? LOL. I'd say your math is considerably off there.

Why because what we are saying isn't conductive to this propaganda?

Bully.

Oh of course..

Keep pushing your agenda.
