@Drlee ,
I'm going to preface what i'm going to say by being as diplomatic as I can about the situation and type of persons that you describe.... No, actually I won't. The person who brought these thoughts out of us had the nerve to say that ''my family would be protected as usual by the military'', or words to that effect, because he's an semi-literate moron. But, semi-literates on all sides of the political spectrum are actually granted the vote, so we better address what they have to say, unfortunately;
Yes. He is a big-spending liberal. He is the biggest spending president in history. His deficits are the largest in history. The country can live like a king until the bill comes.
Almost the whole spectrum of politics in the Western world as you know is neo-liberal economically, DrLee. While the people who write of ''Obama'' or ''Trump'' in such glowing terms don't seem to know that they're two sides to the same old coin in reality.
Good for our military?
He is cutting the military budget. He is taking money away from weapons systems and military construction to build a stupid wall.
Being almost an Anarchist at this point, I see little use for such constructions. Historically, they demarcate the point at which a country stops expanding, but also the point at which they begin to contract (and not necessarily at the gain of the country on the other side, but rather a spread of barbarism and lawlessness, but that's another topic). President Trump is right that we are at that point, at least.
Though he promised to reduce them he has increased troops in the war zone. Now he has a plan to put 150,000 of "our troops" into a war zone and in a fight with a country we were at peace with a two years ago. Of course you have never been one of "our troops" but I fucking have. For a very long time. And the best way to be good for "our troops" is to not fucking kill them in another useless war in some Middle Eastern shit hole.
I'm sure you're aware that there is a certain heretical ''christian'' death cult that has tremendous religious and political influence on the ''Right'', that favors these useless wars in Middle Eastern ''shitholes'' (although some of these countries become that way because our interventions, not because they innately were so). These people are anti-semites (even though their religion claims Semitic roots, falsely but still..) who project it upon non-Jewish Middle Easterners, for now at least.
People like you disgust me. You say "thank you for your service" until we veterans are sick of it and then send us to have our arms and legs blown off so that you can puff up about how powerful the US is. Does it give you a hard on? Trust me chicken hawk. You couldn't handle the truth of "thank you for your service" and what you are really thanking a generation of kids for doing.
I agree completely, such people are beneath contempt. I am from a military family with a long tradition of service to the United States, they fought and some never came back and some were prisoners of war too.... and believe me, I think a lot of this fake patriotism comes from bastards with a guilty conscience they are trying to salve, because they think it makes them look better. War is a force that gives their insignificant and bland bourgeoisie and Lumpenprole lives meaning, events that make their ''support'' seem important. I've seen too many wounded and killed Soldiers past 18 years now, live around them every day here, see their struggling families... No sir, I honestly would be tempted to personally destroy the sort of policy wonks and Oil/Israel Firsters that start up these conflicts if I ever came across them.
War is not "good for our troops". Assholes think so but soldiers don't. Why don't you go see a war movie. Then you will know ALLLLL about it. That is the thing about modern so-called conservatives. They buy an AR-15, get all dressed up on weekends and give each other handjobs about how THEY would handle "those Arabs". They are cowards and wimps. Chicken hawks.
And these types are all the more worthy of contempt because in a REAL war for national survival such as Russia has been through multiple times to give an example, these kind of armchair ''Rambos'' would try to run away or even collaborate with the Enemy to save their worthless hides. Russians have a name for such breed; ''Suka'', little ''bitches''. But man, from the safety of the rear area, they are quite the commandos aren't they?
Bullshit it is, too.
