    YOU brought up the concept of hypocrisy so whining when it comes back to bite you on the ass is disingenuous.

    That your BLOTUS actually IS an amoral liar is nothing more than stating the honest truth. Military officers actually have a duty to recognize and ignore immoral and/or illegal orders. Your BLOTUs has issued immoral orders as well as his LYING to the troops.

    With hard factual evidence of that nature on the side of the defense no court-martial would convict the General for being honest and forthright.

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    Laughable! It is the far right states that have higher divorce rates and use far more pornography than anyone else.

    No hypocrisy. I explained the difference.
    Nowhere have I seen an immoral or illegal order.
    The UCMJ is very clear on this subject.

    Nicely done showing your elitist attitude. What does having a degree in dance poetry of lesbian historians have to do with their opinion of their boss? College education or not, people can understand for themselves how well their boss is treating them.

    You do understand that you don't have to be divorced to be in a "broken" family right? Single mother homes serve the same purpose as a divorce.

    False.

    The voting patterns of Americans with and without college degrees does not assign superiority or inferiority to either.

    Both have the same right to vote their political preferences based upon their perspectives.

    Your value judgment does not apply.

    If you don't think it matters, why did you put it in your first post I responded to? You obviously wanted to point out that service members weren't college educated, even though the poll was from Veterans and not just active duty people. "Veteran" is anyone who served 18 months or more, so you chiming in with "a group of overwhelmingly young males without college degrees" is pretty evident that you don't think too highly of anyone without a college degree and wanting to dismiss this poll in anyway you can.

    ever notice that its usually those with a 'degree' that boast education or lack there of as reasons , further is that they usually 'graduated' with a mere 2.0 gpa, which is actually just barely passing grade equivelant to getting half of all the material wrong ;)

    They don't even need a degree really, its just a matter of whether they can be associated to someone that has a degree or cite someone with a degree to justify their opinion of someone/thing else.

    If he goes before a court martial board, he will be convicted. It is an open and shut case.

    It will be interesting to see the response from Sanders when a reporter brings up the subject.

    No, they indicate he is far less popular. The most likely situation for 2021 is the Democrats controlling the House, Senate, and White House.

    I'm almost certain that Trump does not have that authority. Were he a normal person, I would say that he was probably too smart to do something so fraught with opportunities for political disaster.

    But Trump is clearly NOT that smart.

    And the draft during the Vietnam War (65-73) was called a peace time draft.

    Level of education - like race, gender, regional differences, urban vs rural, etc. - is a significant demographic in determining voting patterns.

    Your going all "PC" over any of them is odd.

    You can deny all you want, but they are about the same.
    He can laugh all he wants, but the UCMJ is clear. He is guilty. I suppose you think that because he is a general, he is immune to the UCMJ. When it comes to sentencing, they will likely be lenient because of his record.
    He may or may not, but if he is court martialed, he will be found guilty. Personally, I think he should because remarks like that are contrary to good discipline.

    It's not at all clear he would be found guilty if Trump was stupid enough to turn him into a martyr. I don't know why you don't understand.

    The United States wa not in a declared war. Besides, the draft had existed since 1940.
