Go ahead, Trump Idiot Voters, Put a Criminal Traitor Jackass in the White House

Go ahead, Trump idiot voters, vote for the criminal jackass. Trust the moron more than your own army leaders who are warning you not to vote for him. They are not running for office. They have nothing to gain from telling the truth, but they have a country to lose.

They and their soldiers put their lives on the line. He, on the other hand, calls soldiers who die fighting "suckers and losers", sits on his golden toilet and complains that their funerals cost too much money, and dodged the Vietnam draft like a coward because his daddy had connections and said that Donny has bone spurs. Can you imagine jackass Trump wearing a military uniform and throwing himself in the line of fire to save his buddies?

To the editor: I'm from a military family. Generals warning of a president's fascism is a really big deal

Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, a Republican who served as White House chief of staff to Trump, has warned the country that the former president is a fascist. (Pablo Martinez Monsivais / Associated Press)

I grew up in Coronado as a military brat. My male ancestors fought in every American battle for freedom and justice, from the Revolutionary War to the Korean War. My father and grandfather both served as Naval officers during World War II and emulated a steadfast allegiance to their country and its institutions.

I came of age questioning the Vietnam War. My father’s respect never wavered for the decisions made by two presidents. His upbringing and military training taught him to rely on the good intent and integrity of his commander in chief.

From the beginning of his term in office, former President Trump treated "his" military officials with disdain, and often demeans them in public. Bullies tend to target people who are a better version of themselves. The highest-level military leaders have consistently responded with restraint and dignity, in deference to the commander in chief.

A titanic change has occurred recently — high-ranking military officers are publicly speaking out regarding Trump's fascist words and demeanor. When career military leaders can no longer remain silent, it's because they’ve chosen to put their allegiance to the United States and Constitution above a danger to our country.

We must listen to what they are telling us.

To the editor: I cast my first vote for president (Dwight D. Eisenhower) in 1956, so you know it was with creaky joints that I walked a distance to drop my ballot into the secure box at my county's headquarters for the coming presidential election.

What a contrast between a man who as supreme Allied commander led the effort to free Europe from the dictatorship of Adolph Hitler. Eisenhower no doubt felt sorrow as he reviewed his young troops before the assault on Normandy. He was a worthy president when he won that high office.

Contrast that with Donald Trump and the unworthiness he demonstrated as president.

I proudly swore an oath to democracy when I became a teacher. Now I fear that such a "loyalty oath," should Trump be elected again, would be to a fledgling dictatorship.

I cannot fathom how so many of my fellow citizens have turned a blind eye to what should be their first priority in this election: fealty to our democratic ideals.

To the editor:  When a retired general tells us that Trump wished he had Hitler's generals, we should all shudder.
