Retired general blasts Trump on reported military comments: 'You're no patriot'
Bali + World News & Views Editor's Comments.
Major nails in Donald Trump's
presidential election campaign coffin.
This video that just came out today from a retired general
damning Trump for his comments on the military saying that they were stupid to
serve and not a hero when they die may be one of the major nails in Donald
Trump's presidential election campaign.
I cannot see how over America’s Reserve personnel of 849,450 & Deployed personnel of 165,000 that put their life on the lines for their President can support him when he says some of the comments shown below.
I hope that others will come out and confirm these remarks and show their patriotism is said to be cowering in fear of this obnoxious, poor excuse for leader.

Retired lieutenant general: Military members are 'furious' with Trump over alleged comments on fallen soldiers
A retired Army general on Thursday night went viral for his scathing response to a report that President Trump made disparaging remarks about dead U.S. service members, telling Trump he’s “no patriot.”
Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton posted a video responding to a new report in The Atlantic which detailed Trump allegedly calling the U.S. service members who were buried in a French cemetery during World War I “losers.”

The magazine also reported that Trump referred to U.S. Marines who were killed at Belleau Wood during World War I as “suckers” because they died.

“I’m pretty unhappy with you, Mr. Trump. So I’m going to keep this short for your famous short attention span,” Eaton said in the clip.
“You have shown disrespect to the military on countless occasions. I am stunned that anybody in the United States military would consider you anything but a ‘loser’ or a ‘sucker.’ You’re no patriot."
Eaton pulled out the dog tags found at the crash site from where his father, a fighter pilot, was killed during the Vietnam War in 1969.
“Our Army, our Navy, our Marine Corps, our Air Force, our Coast Guard. Brave men and women. They’re not just brave. They’re smart and wise,” Eaton said in the video. “So, Mr. Trump, come Nov. 3, we’re all voting for a real patriot — Joe Biden.
And everybody who hears this, please take notice and please vote. Vote Democratic. Our country’s honour depends on it.”
The 2-minute clip went viral, garnering more than 2 million views as of Friday morning.

Eaton is an adviser for VoteVets, the nation’s largest political action committee that supports liberal veterans for public office.
The organization also issued a response condemning Trump’s reported remarks, calling them “especially egregious” coming from the commander in chief.
“Donald Trump does not respect our men and women in uniform. He does not respect their families. He does not respect veterans. And worse, he has matched his vile language with action,” wrote Will Goodwin, an Army veteran and director of government relations for VoteVets. “He has abused our military, has made our country less safe, and has put our men and women in uniform in harm’s war for his own political gain.”

Trump has faced widespread backlash following the release of The Atlantic’s report. It also alleged that Trump told senior staff he wouldn’t support the late Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) funeral and grew angry when he saw flags at the White House lowered to half-staff to recognize the senator.
Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, condemned Trump's reported comments and said the nation’s “one truly sacred obligation” is to care for military members and their families, both during their deployment and after they return home.
Trump vehemently denied The Atlantic’s reporting, angrily calling it “fake news” and a “disgrace” and suggesting the author and his sources are “liars.”
"If they really exist, if people really exist that would have said that, they’re low lifes and they’re liars. And I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes. There is nobody that respects them more,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews after a campaign stop in Pennsylvania Thursday evening.
On Twitter, he insisted that while he disagreed with McCain on policy issues, he approved the lowering of the flag to half-staff and the use of an Air Force plane to transport McCain’s casket from Arizona.

Trump also denied ever calling McCain a loser, saying that he would “swear on whatever, or whoever, I was asked to swear on, that I never called our great fallen soldiers anything other than HEROES.”
However, many social media users resurfaced Trump’s remarks in 2015 where he said McCain, a Vietnam veteran who was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, wasn’t a war hero “because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
They also noted that Trump shared a link to an article about his remarks with the headline “Donald Trump: John McCain Is ‘A Loser.’ ”
