What does Donald Trump respect? Certainly, he does not respect women, especially strong women. He tends to throw those around him under the bus when they are no longer useful to him. Lately, he has been treating the military disrespectfully.

Trump did an interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace and bashed retired Navy Admiral William McRaven. That is right, the Navy SEAL who took out the elusive terrorist, Osama bin Laden. CNN reported that the president said:

‘He’s a Hillary Clinton backer! It would be nice if we got Osama bin Laden a lot sooner.’

It would be nice if Trump realized that his job included being the president of these United States, all 50 0f them. That includes the red ones, the purple ones, and yes — the blue ones. Yet, he has not made that distinction, and the Republicans in Congress, who were supposed to rein in this loose cannon in the Oval Office have failed in their responsibilities.

Retired Lt. General Mark Hertling told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield that Trump’s behavior toward the Navy admiral was “disgusting.” POTUS said that this former SEAL took too long to take out bin Laden.

Hertling described McRaven as a “true servant” of the U.S. Constitution:

‘I’d use one word. And that’s “disgusting.” You know, everyone knows Bill McRaven as being the guy that led the bin Laden raid. Having someone like the president of the United States, a man that (sic) holds an office that’s supposed to represent all people and who says he supports the military, to just dismiss this great American hero as a guy who was a Hillary Clinton lover, which is patently not true, is just really disgusting.’

The commander-in-chief avoided the honoring of the World War I dead in Paris last week, because the rain might muss his hair. The rest of the 70 world leaders managed to get to the cemetery, though. Hertling noted that Trump missed the Veteran’s Day services at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery:

‘It’s a factor of leadership. Leaders know what to do, where to be, what things to say. And in all three of those things, I think the president is currently a failure.’

Donald Trump should have gone to the Vietnam War. Like many young men in college, he took a deferment every year until he graduated. What made the president look bad was that he got the family doctor to say he had bone spurs in one of his legs, thus making him ineligible for duty.

At one point in time, our leader of the free world claimed that not catching a venereal disease was his Vietnam. Trump’s flip answer rubbed people wrong when over 58,000 young people died in the effort.

Trump insulted recently deceased Senator John McCain (R-AZ) for being captured by the enemy and spending five and a half years being tortured. When, the Viet Cong found out they had an admiral’s son, they offered to let him go. McCain refused, not willing to leave until the other captured men left.

The president went to military school, but when it came time to do the honorable thing, he faltered. He has failed once again, this time with his own military.
