trump Loses Another $7 Million Per Year

Generally, the move for a lot of kids in the military is to go into the private defense sector and make boatloads of money. It isn't without risk.
It depends on one's MOS, if you were a Grunt you can make Big Bucks working security but as some found out it can be very dangerous work. Personally I ended up passing on some offers I had and did a a lot of work for Military Contractors and for the DOD itself, and yes it paid very well. The big problem with military contracting is your job is depends on the contract you are working, once it is done if there isn't another project you are out until you can find a new contract, but yes the pay is very good. Plus I can point to some really cool projects that I was part of such as the B1B, really cool plane and got to spend a lot of time crawling around in them, memories..
Agreed on MOS. Anything technical was bigger bucks in the long run.

In the late 80s-90s enlisted personnel often tripled their salary upon leaving the service for the civilian sector. Officers often took a 50-75% cut in pay but often tripled their service pay in the long run. Mostly through upper-middle management or technical specialties.

Correct, hence why after 4 years in Infantry, I reenlisted into a technical field. I researched what was out there and found one I really liked, which was a Nuclear Power Plant Operator, the qualifications were really high but I met all of them including a very high GT score (when they actually meant something), I applied to the school and was accepted. Problem was that they only ran one class a year of around a dozen students and the class had just started and it would be at least a year before I would be starting. I decided to look elsewhere and ended up as a Pershing Missile Electronics Technician 21L, I got real lucky and worked at a General Support Unit in Neu Ulm in Germany and finished at Redstone Arsenal, Al, real good gig and was offered Warrant School while there, turned it down because that would have made it a career and that was not the plan. The electronics training landed me my first job with TI when I got out and I moved up in education and experience from there, had an interesting and very well paying career and thank my service as the first big stepping stone down my pathway.

Good job. That's the way it should work out for all Americans. Work hard, move ahead.

Millions of Americans have civilianized and monetized their military service and that's a good thing. I'd prefer more of our Congressional representatives were veterans, but that's not the trend.

When elected officials gather on Capitol Hill to formally convene the 117th Congress on Jan. 3, they’ll do so with 91 veterans among their ranks, the lowest total since at least World War II....

...Here’s a look at the group, by the numbers:

• 91 total veterans in the 117th Congress.

trump's golf courses are all losing money. Bigly. Same for his hotels, and virtually every other business he owns. If he didn't make it to the White House he couldn't funnel millions in taxpayer dollars into his accounts.

He's a pauper compared to real billionaires.


bull shit dumb ass he has business all over the world


The Trump Organization is the collective name for a group of approximately 500 business entities of which Donald Trump is the sole or principal owner. Approximately 250 entities use the Trump name.




Trump's businesses generated at least $446.3 million in sales in 2019.
The Trump National Doral golf resort generated the most revenue of any of the president's businesses in 2019, posting $77.2 million in sales.


446.3 million dollars in income yes hes broke you must be right

[h=1]Trump has lost more than $315 million on his golf courses over the last 20 years, bombshell report finds[/h]
President Donald Trump has lost $315.6 million since 2000 from the 15 golf courses he owns in the US, Scotland, and Ireland, The New York Times reported Sunday in an in-depth investigation into Trump's tax returns.
Trump's largest golf resort, Trump National Doral in Miami, has an $125 million mortgage due in three years. Trump bought Doral for $150 million in 2012 and, over the next six years, lost $162.3 million on the property, according to Trump's tax documents obtained by The Times.

The losses that Trump has experienced at his golf courses aren't an anomaly — The Times investigation found the president has lost millions of dollars at nearly all of his major businesses.

trump sells his name across the world. Many buildings are removing his name, and canceling the maintenance contracts. NYC just dumped trump, costing him millions/year.

His golf courses are money laundering operations, which is about to come out in court.


Stay tuned

Many ex military join police forces, which rarely works out well. When we had more veterans in Congress, we tended to launch needless wars.


"Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran"

Who sang that 'joke' again?

Disagreed but I'd be interested in seeing a comparative analysis of vet police versus non-vet police.

While I don't doubt the correlation about Congressmen, the fact there's been less wars around the world since the end of the draft skews the numbers.

impressive 315 million spread over 20 years about 15 million a year with a income of almost 500 million a year a year one segment of you business having a 15 million loss is peanuts and you dont account for the investment and tax write off and the increase in value of the property over 20 years. you think like a moron and don't take all factors into consideration , Im guessing 15 mil would barely cover the cost of operation of his private jet

Sure...depreciation shows up as losses. We all know that. But income is EBDTA. Don't be so impressed by the loser whose only income comes from criminal activity.

We've lost every military encounter since WW2. Desert Storm achieved its goal, but that was a minor skirmish. The end of the draft may or may not have accounted for relative peace, as plenty of people enlisted in the 70s/80s/90s because it was a safe way to serve a few years and get free college/perks.

Many got caught with their pants down when Dubyah took charge and let Cheney run the country. I think the stench of Vietnam had more to do with lasting peace than the end of the draft.
 
LMAO

'Nobody can do it'.

All that HIPAA stuff gets in the way, but if Trump ever comes up on charges, there's a good chance they'll use some form of mental deficiency defense either in the trial or in sentencing.

Are you forgetting the first time we elected an adulterous, sexual predator draft-dodging Coward-in-Chief? Remember how he wanted to turn the US military into the World Police in both Bosnia and Haiti? There was even a movie about it in 2004; Team America: World Police.

Then, of course, Clinton fucked up the al-Qaeda response in 1998. So, yes, another military failure thanks to Democrats. :laugh:

It's all they're going to have, but illiteracy doesn't negate knowledge of right/wrong.

Of course, we've already seen privileged kids literally get away with murder by using the 'affluenza' defense.

Is there any doubt Trump would throw a billion dollars at it and just retire with his other billion in Mar-a-Lago?

When I left active duty in 1985 and went into the reserves, my NEC, 3384, reenlistment bonus package for 4 more years active was:

Automatic promotion to next pay grade
$100 a month "proficiency" pay extra
Duty station of my choice for 18 or 24 months (18 if not nuclear power)
$70,000 reenlistment bonus, half in cash up front.
Navy school of my choice.

They were getting about 1 in 8 guys to take that.

Where active duty was anything but fun, the reserve side was enjoyable and interesting.

Nuclear power school made college a breeze as classes were easy compared to the "cram school" approach the Navy used--I will say that NPS was the first time I was truly academically challenged beyond high school.
