Can Republicans Ever Stop Being The ?Stupid Party??

 Donald Trump Couldn?t Graduate From ROTC
No soldier would follow Trump into battle, and no officer would give him 
loyalty.
August 24, 2015 By Paul David Miller

Donald Trump claims he is qualified to be president because he is a 
billionaire and successful businessman. If he can manage large organizations 
successfully, the argument goes, he can also manage the U.S. bureaucracy. He 
is wrong: being president is not analogous to being chief executive officer of 
a for-profit corporation.

The president is also commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces. Almost no 
one in history has been truly qualified, before taking office, of assuming 
that role. Perhaps only Washington, Grant, and Eisenhower had the experience, 
knowledge, and reputation to automatically command the respect of the 
military.

But there is a lower bar that candidates should clear to prove their basic 
trustworthiness with military command. They should live up to the same code 
that, legally, U.S. military officers are required to live by: the U.S. Code 
of Military Justice (UCMJ). Military officers are required to uphold a certain 
standard of decorum and dignity. Failure isn?t merely a social offense; it is 
a crime for which an officer can be court martialed, dishonorably discharged, 
and even imprisoned.

Article 117 of the UCMJ prohibits soldiers from using ?provoking or 
reproachful words or gestures.? Donald Trump famously accused Mexican 
immigrants of being criminals and rapists, which is ?provoking and 
reproachful? under any definition of the term. Trump refused to apologize for 
the comment, insisting it was ?totally accurate.?

Article 132 of UCMJ bars ?frauds against the U.S.? Trump openly boasted in the 
Republican presidential debate in early August that ?I have taken advantage of 
the laws of this country,? to further his business interests, which is a good 
description of fraud. Trump is also battling lawsuits from students at Trump 
University who have accused him of fraud.

In the same debate he openly spoke of purchasing influence with U.S. 
government officials with campaign contributions. He said, ?I give to 
everybody. When they call, I give. And you know what? When I need something 
from them, two years later, three years later, I call them. They are there for 
me. And that?s a broken system.? Trump acknowledged it is a broken, corrupt 
system that he happily participated in.
If politics is a pigsty, he celebrates the mud.

Article 93 of the UCMJ bans ?cruelty toward, or oppression or maltreatment of, 
any person subject to his orders.? Trump successfully turned cruelty and 
verbal abuse towards employees into a reality TV show, popularizing employer 
arrogance and coarsening the workplace.

Article 88 of the UCMJ prohibits ?contemptuous words? of U.S. officials. 
Pretty much all American politicians speak ill of each other; that?s simply 
part of democracy. Trump has gone beyond the normal rough-and-tumble of 
democracy. He repeatedly called all politicians ?stupid,? and president Obama 
?incompetent.?

Worse, he famously dismissed John McCain?s military service and mocked his 
five years? of captivity in North Vietnam, saying it took no heroism to be 
captured. (McCain refused offers of release because he did not want to be used 
as communist propaganda, which demonstrates staggering courage and loyalty).

Finally, Article 133 of the UCMJ bars ?conduct unbecoming an officer and a 
gentleman.? Trump is the walking embodiment of conduct unbecoming a gentleman. 
He violates this article every time he opens his mouth, especially when he 
speaks of women. That Trump retains the support of any American after his 
comments about Fox News Anchor Megan Kelly is a disgrace and an embarrassment.

If Donald Trump tried to join the military, they wouldn?t let him in. If he 
were in the military, he would be disciplined, repeatedly. If he were in ROTC, 
he wouldn?t graduate. No soldier would follow Trump into battle, and no 
officer would give him loyalty.

Trump is a vulgar, crass, ungentlemanly frat boy who gleefully participates 
in, and perpetuates, the corruption and degeneracy of American politics. If 
politics is a pigsty, he celebrates the mud. He coarsens public life, and he 
is unqualified to command the finest military in the world.
