Editor,
Letters in the March 3 Daily Journal from Mr. van Ulden and Mr. Abramson praised the president for bombing Iran, citing reasons that are clearly incorrect, such as having ballistic missiles that can already strike Europe and, soon, America.
Editor,
Letters in the March 3 Daily Journal from Mr. van Ulden and Mr. Abramson praised the president for bombing Iran, citing reasons that are clearly incorrect, such as having ballistic missiles that can already strike Europe and, soon, America.
But what I find even more disturbing about Trump’s action comes from comments he made to his then-Chief of Staff retired Marine Gen. John Kelly. Standing in Arlington National Cemetery, Trump is alleged to have called the dead soldiers “suckers and losers and wondered “what’s in it for them?” This is the president who didn’t want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because “it doesn’t look good for me.” And now this is the man who is sending men and women into harm’s way, many of whom have died already and probably more to come. I wonder if he will tell their parents and wives and husbands he thinks their children were “suckers and losers.”
Such a man should never be president of our nation. And Mr. van Ulden is right; consider Mr. Trump’s actions next time you vote.

Yes, Trump is the one who lied himself out of military service by claiming some fake foot problem! You forgot to list some of Trump’s major faults, like convicted multi-rapist and multi-bankruptcy “businessman”, in addition to all his lying and cheating, while his dad paid for his unearned degrees. How dumb does someone have to be to believe that such a low-life failure can be the leader of the world, - without dire consequences?
Thanks for your letter, Mr. Garner, but if you need to cite a hoax to support your LTE, it is obvious you’re having another “orange man bad” Trumper tantrum. Next time, try the Charlottesville hoax as the basis for your rant. Or the Jussie Smollett hoax. Or any other hoaxes Democrats have fallen hook, line, and sinker for. They won’t be any more effective but if it’ll make you feel better… Have a Trump-tastic day!
Hey dear Robert "clearly incorrect, such as having ballistic missiles that can already strike Europe" . Clearly incorrect? Iran has already fired those into Cyprus, which is unbeknownst to most Dems, e.g. AOC and Kamala, in Europe. Why do you think France, the UK and even the Netherlands have sent war ships over there? Besides, your ranting is pointless and Trump will be with us for many glorious months to come.
