Curt Schilling is back doing Curt Schilling things. The former Cy Young winner has transitioned seamlessly into his new role as a full-time troll and Breitbart mouthpiece.
Schilling’s past twelve months in review: he was fired from ESPN for posting anti-transgender memes, shared a Hillary Clinton is a Murderer‘ meme, called Stephen A. Smith a racist, ranted incoherently about the Orlando shooting tragedy AND the tragic New Jersey train crash, the list goes on.
It looks as if Schilling is off his meds again, indicative of him taking aim at former Democratic Senate candidate and liberal activist Jason Kander. Kander is also an Afghanistan war veteran. The spat ensued in the wake of President Trump’s recent comments diminishing the effectiveness of U.S. soldiers in combat.
Trump’s words exactly.
“We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they can be to deter war, and when called upon to fight in our name, only do one thing: win,” he said. “We never win and we don’t fight to win. We don’t fight to win. We’ve either got to win or don’t fight it at all.”
Kander condemened the President’s sentiment, to which baseball player Curt Schilling attempted to school him.
know he was referring to leadership and not the soldiers on the ground. But that doesn't allow you to piss about it of you

and elsewhere all seemed like warfighters working their asses off to win.Jason, spend much time outside the wire?

A LOT of folks did more than me, but yes, I was outside the wire about 4 days/week. How about your deployment, Curt? https://t.co/w8SjOG6K8f

I wasn't deployed, I just had the honor of spending 18 days in theater while visiting soldiers who actually did stuff

Thank you for your service. We are forever in your debt.

Curt’s “how much did you actually do over there” argument is the shit that pisses me off. If you put your life on hold to volunteer to protect in serve across the world, to any degree, you shouldn’t be asked for a fucking progress report. I don’t care if you’re washing the soldiers uniforms or heating up their meals, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Curt is such a fucking delusional dickwad.
