Anyone shocked by the GOP using the military only as a prop for photo ops in a cemetery and then screwing them over once in power is an idiot.

The suckers and losers have to suffer so mushole can get another contract for billions.

Take solace brave warriors that you too can watch another penis rocket shoot billionaires into joy rides to space paid for with your job losses.

Well, part of me would like to see MAGA come here to defend this outrage...

But another part of me wonders why I want to opinions of a few POS.

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

Soldiers who choose to back the Military Brass when they finally do stand up to Trump may save the country yet.

Of course, the Pentagon is currently being vetted for Trump Loyalty, so they better act now or never.

Never is on the way.

It's obvious Doe 174 loathes American troops.

"Soldiers who choose to back the Military Brass when they finally do stand up to Trump may save the country yet."

I have been thinking along those lines but hesitated to even suggest it but I can, at least, say "thank you" for posting that.

Personally, I wouldn't count on it.

#4 That's why he's purging all the generals that have the slightest amount of backbone to stand up to him.

This is the end of democracy.

Ya'll all owe Boaz an apology.

You fkkking re tar d.

People tell Boaz to return his pension because he hates America and socialism and people receiving anything from the government.

(Except the insanely wealthy, which he's more that happy when the government hands them billions in subsidies)

You really are stupid.

Racist! You hate Boaz because he's a successful, free-thinking person of color.

#12 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2025-02-22 03:58 PM

I wouldn't characterize Boaz as free thinking.

He gets all his thoughts from the DailyMail.UK

Did Salty Dog just wake up in a state of bliss? This clown has been draining sacks since he was placing blame on administrations. go for it stupid.

@#10 .. Up until you see an article like this one, military people are fReElOaDeRz!!!!! ...

Why does your current alias seem to think that?

I view military people as citizens who step up to serve the Country.

Why does your current alias seem to want to ascribe them as that?

Well. Finally! Expressing your true feelings for Boaz.

I bet he has been waiting forever to hear this.

I think you two would make a very cute couple.

I have a very close family friend who, between him and his wife, had three of their jobs cut this weekend. She had both of her jobs cancelled. He had accepted a new job, but it was cancelled as well. Fortunately, he had only accepted the new job and not quit his old one. It could have been much worse.

Did they vote for him?

"Did they vote for him?"

Probably.

#23 | Posted by Twinpac at 2025-02-24 02:36 AM

Nope.

Although many of the Military Brass despise him, T-rump is replacing them with unqualified loyalists.

But now he's pissing off many of the rank and file who may have supported him.

Not a genius.
