Nothing excites him more than knowing people died because of his decisions. It is his death porn
He loves this even more than thinking about fucking his own daughter.

Nearly 70 percent of all veterans who commit suicide are age 50 or older, according to the Veterans Affairs Department. This is double the suicide rate for the same age group in the nonveteran community.
Although national tracking of veteran suicide rates is unreliable at best, the VA estimates that 22 veterans commit suicide each day. This means approximately 8,030 veterans kill themselves every year, more than 5,540 of whom are 50 or older.
Some veterans' advocates say it's easier for older veterans to feel America has forgotten their sacrifices.
"You know, 'We're just old guys, and we're going to die, so why pay much attention to them?' ...That's kind of the feeling that some of our members have," said Tom Berger, executive director of the Vietnam Veterans of America national health council.

(4,703 posts)Tells me there was such overwhelming support for Cantaloupe Caligula among enlisted AND officers that he felt he needed to just keep his mouth shut and not breathe a word of supporting KH.
Stunning; NO president EVER has been as disrespectful of military service and their sacrifice than this POS.
Praying for him to be able to finish his time and get out.
