Why is Trump better in this regard? He dodged the draft, and he's never shown any interest in the military until he ran this time. Why is that better?
Lack of interest is better than actual harm.
In other words, Benghazi by a different name. Sorry, that doesn't fly. Ronald Reagan never had a problem with the military, and he put 168 unarmed Marines "in barracks" under hostile conditions. The "barracks" were in the open on an airfield. The hostiles had higher ground, and just butchered them. That's true malfeasance, misfeasance and nonfeasance, yet he got a bye anyway -- because he was a Republican.
GWB lost 60 diplomats in 13 incidents on his watch, to say nothing of military losses. GOP outrage? Crickets. Military outrage? Ditto.
