It's astonishing just how far Trump's supporters will go to dismiss his immoral and unethical behavior, despite the fact they wouldn't do that if he was a Democratic President and he didn't pander to them.

Nothing astonishing about it. Others' opinions matter too. Your opinions re: Trump and his supporters (of which I am one, unapologetically) are valid, but NOT final.

I wish to God that these people were not caught in the middle.

But they are, these governments are using their own people as shields to protect themselves.

I guess with softness on our part, no will for correcting wrong any longer, this will continue until our Lord comes and puts an end to it.

Perhaps you should stay on topic, the president's disrespectful comments about members of the military.

And here we are, giving replies that ignore the president's disrespectful remarks about the military. This behavior demonstrates that previous arguments about love for the military are inauthentic, especially when that professed love is dropped immediately to support the current president.

Party first!

Sorry! We got off on the sidelines, or maybe I did.

And a real president will say, you will pay us back!

And what if they don't?

Can't say! I don't have all the info needed to make that call.

I'll leave that to Trump, capable hands!

It's not as if this boorish draft dodger with bone spurs would know anything about serving this nation with honor and integrity. Remember he haughtily said that he likes people who weren't captured.

'You're a bunch of dopes and babies': Inside Trump’s stunning tirade against generals

How long before supporters say this is good and argue that the president supports the troops?

Trump: "I wouldn’t go to war with you people!"
Generals: "We know, we went to Vietnam."

May I please inquire as to the date this comment was made?

Yet you would hold them responsible for paying the bill for our interventions in their countries.

Can a price be placed on freedom, in money.

Approximately six months into his administration, according to the OP.

What more information do you need? You said a real president would demand payment from the nations we invaded for our expenditures there, they refuse, the next step is what?

Thank you.

Has Donald's behavior improved significantly?... or at all?

Pretty sure if he had a "Road to Damascus" type incident in the intervening time, we would've at least gotten a tweet.

...from the op's link:

Tillerson was the only one to speak up:

Others at the table noticed Trump’s stream of venom had taken an emotional toll. So many people in that room had gone to war and risked their lives for their country, and now they were being dressed down by a president who had not. They felt sick to their stomachs. Tillerson told others he thought he saw a woman in the room silently crying. He was furious and decided he couldn’t stand it another minute. His voice broke into Trump’s tirade, this one about trying to make money off U.S. troops.

“No, that’s just wrong,” the secretary of state said. “Mr. President, you’re totally wrong. None of that is true.”

Tillerson’s father and uncle had both been combat veterans, and he was deeply proud of their service.

“The men and women who put on a uniform don’t do it to become soldiers of fortune,” Tillerson said. “That’s not why they put on a uniform and go out and die . . . They do it to protect our freedom.”

There was silence in the Tank. Several military officers in the room were grateful to the secretary of state for defending them when no one else would.

Then our Real-Man, Fierce-Warrior, Man-of-God President will take them to the middle of Fifth Avenue, and shoot them in the face, obviously.
