I doubt he has read much about it. If he did, then he would know what it represents and is. Much like Bush Jr. who started another war. Like it is some kind of game. There are so many books about the horrors of war, and how it needs to be avoided at all costs. Iraq knows and many families in the U.S. know.
Trump could call another politician who knows. Tammy Duckworth, a senator from Illinois knows. My guess is that she would tell him. I doubt that Trump would listen to a woman though...
Trump doesn't know and he doesn't care in my opinion.

(6,645 posts)father in WWII & Korea, Dad in Korea, Uncle in WWII, about four other uncles who were in military, one I think in Vietnam. One thing I know, war doesn't solve much of anything.

(26,308 posts)All in all, 5 of my uncles and my father were WWII veterans (my father enlisted, right out of high school, and at the very end of the war). Another uncle was a Korean War era veteran. He was set to go into combat when his appendix burst. He ended up serving in Japan and Germany.
Pretty much every generation of my family has served in the military since the first branch arrived, before the Revolutionary War. In the two remaining generations there are 4 veterans - me, 2 of my cousins and my nephew.
I have no patience with a yellow bellied, draft ducking, malingering chicken hawk making any decisions about sending troops into battle.

My post consisted of the lyrics that immediately follow the opening exclamation "WAR!"

(34,661 posts)It is all about him and his survival instincts. Guy's like him always have someone who loves their Coattail effects,and will Prostitute them selves in order to hang on to those coattails.
Big glaring examples are Rudy G.and Billy Barr as well as others. All about access to power and money.
