Trump’s denigration of the U.S. Military is a disservice to our country

By August 25, 2024No Comments

Colbert King, a Pulitzer-winning columnist, writes, “But I can’t get past Donald Trump’s contempt toward the military, even as he runs to become commander in chief once again.

2.7 million U.S. military personnel are stationed worldwide, 44% of whom come from rural America. King says our service personnel “deserve a president who values their service. Donald Trump is not that president.”

King is joined by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, which has denounced Trump’s pronouncements as “asinine.”
