Summary

Donald Trump faced backlash after admitting he was unaware of four U.S. soldiers missing in Lithuania during a training exercise, despite ongoing search efforts.

Social media users and critics expressed outrage, questioning his leadership and knowledge of his administration’s actions.

Critics also linked Trump’s lack of awareness to the recent “Signalgate” security breach involving a leaked group chat about a U.S. bombing in Yemen.

    This is the guy who didn’t want to visit the Normandy WW2 memorial / cemetery because it was damp out (amongst many, MANY other examples of his complete and utter disdain for service members). This is 0% surprising.

    He likes the concept of the US military. He doesn’t give a single flying fuck about the people in the US military. If When a serious war actually starts under his eye (see what I did there), I would not be surprised if he slots in a bunch of sycophantic imbeciles into strategic and tactical leadership positions and strongly encourages the use of Russian-style meatwave tactics, and then blames the resulting immense casualties on Biden or “an tea fuh” or some shit.

      Said specifically that he only likes soldiers who don’t get captured to a (granted) peice of shit who happened to be a pow (which was his own fault but that’s another story.)
