Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Trump’s war rages on. No one seems to be concerned that his unilateral decision to blow up another sovereign nation is unconstitutional, and without a doubt, a war crime. This is what happens when an uninformed electorate surrenders its morals and places into power an egomaniac whose little brain is only focused on himself. Trump’s affliction with malignant narcissism is on center stage in 2026.

TWO BAD ACTORS ATTEND THE FIRST OF MANY UNNECESSARY TRIBUTES TO OUR FALLEN

“They’re all fools and suckers. What was in it for them?”

This is what Trump said to his aides in France during a 2018 trip designed to pay tribute to a cemetery dedicated to the men who died fighting to save France in WWI. This is how Trump truly feels about the men and women who give their lives for their fellow countrymen. The truth is, Trump cares for no one on the planet other than himself.

But it does make sense. Remember, Trump is a draft dodger.

On Saturday, the bodies of six men who lost their lives during Trump’s illegal war arrived at Dover, Maryland. In what was obviously a planned and tasteless exhibition, the families of the fallen were there, and your illegitimate president and his third trophy wife attended what was in reality nothing more than a photo op. Trump doesn’t care how many lives will be lost, but he is desperately staging an event to make you believe he does care, and create a distraction from his time spent with Jeffrey Epstein.

THOSE WHO SPEND THEIR DAYS IN THE PENTAGON ARE INCOMPETENT AND CHOOSE TO SERVE THEIR FASCIST-IN-CHIEF

Tomorrow, March 9, I will celebrate the fact that 61 years ago I was medically discharged from the USAF. Celebrate is the right word. I admit that I made a huge mistake when I joined the military. I am too independent to be forced to act like everyone else every waking minute. I cherish my right to free thought, and free choice.

I found the idea of giving respect to anyone who wore the insignia of an ‘officer’ an affront to my intelligence. According to the rules, they were “better than me.”

Today, as I approach the title of octogenarian, I know that our military leaders are arrogant, politically motivated, and incompetent.

Born in 1946, the Trump War is the fifth time our nation chose to engage in a war. This will likely be the fifth time our military leaders lost a war. They failed to learn from their mistakes during the past four violent and deadly conflicts. The truth is, you may be able to destroy buildings and murder thousands of men, women, and children, but those who survive will never accept rule by those they believe are their enemies.

If I followed the teachings of Mohammad, I would be convinced that the men and women who lead the United States in Washington hate all Muslims.

Trump’s statements involving his reasons for invading Iran have no basis in fact. The only statement which made even a little sense came from his Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. She said: “President Trump had a feeling that Iran was planning an attack on the United States.” Can you believe this shit?

Our country would be far better off with Alfred E. Newman as our president.
