Music Monday – “All those who remember the war/They won’t forget what they’ve seen/Destruction of men in their prime/Whose average age was nineteen”

He’s broken *so* many taboos and boundaries in politics.

But Trump’s taking a lot of pushback after reports of multiple negative comments against the military so maybe, just maybe, this will finally break through to some supporters that he’s not a good person and maybe even help guarantee a loss in November (or at least ensure the military is less likely to support him if it comes to armed conflict – which I don’t think is outside the realm of possibility.)

Anyhow, for some strange reason, this one-hit wonder song from the 80’s popped into my head while reading the coverage of Trump’s latest media storm…
