ParticipantBut seriously, why are u.s. soldiers always perceived as tough. A guerrilla fighter in the jungle with no support and no hope is tough.
A cog in the worlds largest military machine just isn’t tough in the same way.

Guesti watched Jim Mattis yesterday. He’s very lame compared to Trump.
Trump definitely wins. Trumps will blow up the Republican party, even the USA if he needs to protect himself. That’s why we will go easy on him.
Trump will be never be prosecuted and go to jail. In the name of national reconciliation, he will get off easy. It’s the fear of white low-education male voters who support Trump. And the establishment wants to protect America’s standing in the world as a stable democracy. The Trump episode will be swept under the carpet.

haha, I said the same thing to an obese friend in the military after he bragged about toughness. An american soldier will not last a few days in the jungle without logistical support and communications. The mosquitos, snakes, leaches and isolation would cause the guy to die apoplectic.
October 18, 2019 at 2:23 PM #813798ParticipantIs Obama tougher than Mattis? If Obama had claimed he was, hed need to be pretty tough to survive.

October 18, 2019 at 3:01 PM #813800ParticipantIn a previously unreported 1998 interview with Howard Stern, Donald Trump compared sex to going to battle in Vietnam and joked he should be getting the Congressional Medal of Honor.
”
Comparing sex to Vietnam:
“Hey, so wait a second, get back to my question,” Stern said. “Let’s say you’re with a hot chick, right? But you’re so germ paranoid, and I’m germ paranoid, do you say to them, ‘look you’ve got to go take a medical test before I do you.'”
“Well, you’d like to say that, and sometimes you do,” added Trump. “The problem is that sometimes your own chemicals take over and you can’t wait.”
“So you’ll just have straight intercourse with a rubber with them right?” Stern asked.
“Well, I don’t know, you know there’s lots of different ways of doing it. It’s a very complicated subject. They say that more people were killed by women in this act than killed in Vietnam, OK,” Trump said.
“Yes, that is true,” replied Stern.
“You know, you get criticized for that statement, but that statement is very easily true,” added Trump.
Stern responded, “I even went as far to say that you’re braver than any Vietnam vet because you’re out there screwing a lot of women.”
“Getting the Congressional Medal of Honor, in actuality,” said Trump.

That’s pretty much what Batman said to Superman during their duel.

Trump would be laughing.
Advantage, trump.

The incessant whining is not really a hallmark of a tough guy.
PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!

October 18, 2019 at 5:17 PM #813806ParticipantActually he IS laughing- he says sometimes you gotta let em fight, calls it tough love. People are actually losing their lives.

“Charlie didn’t get much USO. He was dug in too deep or moving too fast. His idea of great R&R was cold rice and a little rat meat. He had only two ways home: death, or victory.”[/quote]I love Vietnam war books and movies and documentaries and I’m always looking for another one. That quote sounds familiar, so I might have read it. But if not, I’d like to. What’s it from?
Edit: Never mind. I googled it. I’ve seen Apocalypse Now (a few times). Back when it came out, everybody just raved about it. And it was a fantastic movie. But it was touted as being very much like the actual war and, having seen a few documentaries and read several books about that war since Apocalypse Now came out, I’d have to say it didn’t age well. At least the part about it being perceived as realistic.
And, just so I’m not threadjacking, I’ll add that trump seems less tough than most little girls I’ve known.
October 18, 2019 at 6:36 PM #813809ParticipantOne of my favorite movies. The movie about making the movie is also really interesting
