As for the OP, it's an interesting topic. Not sure though if the experience in the military is necessarily a great indication one is suited for presidency.

The brass usually has their own level of inter-department politics and soul-sucking deceit to deal with. Someone who can navigate that successfully already has one major qualification under his belt.

Can you truly say you love someone if you don't accept them for who they are? I think not

Yes of course you can. Do you think the parents of all the murderers in the world suddenly stop loving their children? Yet I doubt they are accepting of who their child chose to be.

That's not unconditional love. Thats something else

Unconditional love means loving despite their faults. It doesn't mean you necessarily have to accept those faults, especially when one of the faults is being a rapist or murderer.

Unconditional love does not mean a person can do whatever they want and you still think they are totally 100% awesome.

If you have a kid who gets addicted to drugs you don't stop loving them, but it doesn't mean you accept it.

Agree to disagree. Unconditional to me means without any stips, limitless love. Your viewpoint isnt unconditional by your own description it places limitations on love. Imo

Lol but again..limitless love doesn't mean you support every single thing about someone or everything they do. You can say "I love you, but you murdered someone and that isn't okay". What is wrong with that? Limitless means without limit. Just because you aren't okay with your kid being a killer doesn't mean your love has limits. Your love would have limits if you began to hate your child for this.

You're contradicting yourself. On one hand you're saying "my love for you is infinite" but "only if you dont do xyz". I cant understand that stance

I can see why you don't understand because you apparently did not read what I said. I never said "I love you, but only if you don't do this". I said you can love someone without having to be accepting of everything about them. I never said any act would negate the love.

You seem to think unconditional love means not only do you love someone no matter what, but you also need to be okay with all their actions.

I get what you said i just summed it up in laymens
