Bullies are almost always cowards.
-
He went to a private school where they got Army costumes and pretended to be tough guys. When he got his chance to serve he got a letter from his mom he had a sore foot.
-
It's hard to believe how much trouble one bully is causing for the world. But it's true.
-
Seems to me that he was rewarded for sociopathic behavior in military school when he should have been locked in the brig.
-
BAD SEED. People have horrible childhoods and don't turn out to be sociopaths.
-
"Circumstances don't make the man, they reveal him"
-
Narcissis can't have a relationship because they love themselves only
-
This is a perfect example of Putting Money into a child and not Love
-
Interesting...went to military school for five years, but managed to dodge three opportunities to serve his country.
-
His father ruined him. I have sympathy for the little boy but not the man. We all have to take responsibility for ourselves as adults.
-
That child has never healed and has missed his window of empathy. Flunked sandbox.
-
I raised my sons the best I could, and I am their number one supporter next to my wife. I hope they show the same compassion to others that I have for them. Love is hard work, and you get a perfect opportunity, when you have children, to show what you're made of.
-
A lot of people had challenging childhoods and don’t become a leech to society.
-
Military school is the juvie for rich kids.
-
I like how she says they didn't like him because he was so competitive. They didn't like him because he was an arrogant bastard.
-
He liked playing army, but when he got his draft notice, he wanted to go back to playing monopoly. Fake tough guy.
-
Brutalizing a child doesn't "toughen them up", it traumatizes them causing serious physical & mental damage.
-
Parents can do major damage to a child's mental and emotional stability, when there's no love in the home.
-
This needs to be a lesson here. Love over money. Attention over gifts. Honor over greed.
-
In military school, Trump's instructors determined him to be best suited for submarine command, since all his grades were well below 'C' level...
