So being called a "sucker and a loser" doesn't bother him?
Most of the military is smart enough to know that the anonymous sources which make that claim are not to be trusted when other people who were there insist that it never happened.
The military personnel that I know support Trump because he has supported the military when it comes to budgetary issues and when it comes to things like transgenders being allowed to serve.
You would be surprised how negative the military views transgenders being allowed to serve. Not because they are transgender, but because they miss way more work time than average soldiers, they spent a lot military of funding on sex change operations, which is part of why they miss work time, and as a group they hurt military discipline.
Obama and Biden, and yes, Biden has to be included because Obama gave Biden wide latitude on a number of foreign policy issues hurt the military's capability and moral. Trump has improved both. So, yes, even if he did say something stupid about soldiers his actions have made the military stronger while Obama's actions weakened the military.
Oh, by the way, my son in law was an extreme liberal to the point that politics were banned from conversation at family functions until Obama became president. Like me, he did not vote for Trump in 2016 because of Trumps well documented problems, but like me, he did vote for Trump in 2020.
Why do you think that Trump got more votes this year than he did in 2016? It was because those of us who did not believe that Trump would actually stand for conservative values and did not like his personality were won over by his policy decisions. Hate the man all you want, but you should be arguing the merits of policy not what someone may or may not have said.
And, don't forget that Biden called a group of soldiers stupid bastards and that is on video, so it isn't just an allegation. Of course, his spokesperson now says it was a joke. Biden hasn't responded because he doesn't remember, which is not a surprise, he doesn't even remember how many grandchildren he has. He keeps saying he has six, when he has at least seven. Fails to count Hunters kid with the stripper every time.
He has also called his granddaughter Beau, said he is running for president against George and said that he is running for a seat in the senate, all this year. So, yes, military people would rather vote for Trump than Biden.
