It's all whimsy, of course.
First and foremost, I have never been in combat, so what could I actually know? And yet I imagine and wonder how it is that combat veterans might line up in support of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Combat is no joke, I imagine. Every combatant relies on comrades to back him or her up.
And the idea that Donald Trump might be a reliable back-up -- someone into whose hands I might place my fate and faith -- strikes me as ludicrous. Trusting that Donald Trump "has got your back" ... gawd! Would this man defend your life with his own? Would he step up and step in and work like hell to preserve your life?
Having Donald Trump as a reliable back-up ... does that compute where the bullets fly?
Imaginatively, I think I would prefer to be backed up by an honorable enemy: At least an enemy has a directed purpose. Being shot in the back by a Whiffle ball ally is the last thing any combatant needs.
Imagine Donald Trump backing you up on the combat line.

Trump’s the latest and possibly the most unworthy and most corrupt of all time, but there have been few presidents that would have done much better.
