President Donald Trumps unhinged war ramblings have left war veterans and former government officials disgusted.
The backlash erupted after Trump, 79, warned Tuesday morning that a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again, if Tehran does not open up the Strait of Hormuz. A separate post on Sunday threatening to obliterate civilian infrastructure also contributed to the outrage among those who have served.
Naveed Shah, political director for Common Defense and an Army veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, said he is disgusted and genuinely alarmed by Trumps increasingly unhinged rhetoric.
He told the Daily Beast on Tuesday: I know over the last decade we have become desensitized to Trumps locker room talk, but language like that is beneath the dignity of the office and dangerous for our troops on the ground.

(20,772 posts)I played numerous sports - both team and individual, and spent a lot of time in 'locker rooms'. I never once heard demeaning, sexist language because - they were not MALE locker rooms.
The phrase is a euphemism to excuse unacceptable language.

(12,206 posts)sounds like that? Why are they continuing to fool themselves? They say they are "upset" but then call it locker room talk.
