    I’m not a “Support the Troops” person. I even have family in the military, I just really don’t care for that jingoism. So I’m not that offended by Trump’s antics disrespecting the military.

    What really frustrates me is the fact orange man thought it was a good idea to THUMBS UP in a graveyard. Jesus Christ, no respect for the dead. And every single person around this idiot is cool with him doing that. Fucking ghouls.

      He doesn’t respect anyone, so this isn’t a surprise. That some people wanted or still want him in a service position to the country when all he cares about is one person named DJT is beyond me. If the previous term didn’t show them that, they won’t ever get it.

        It’s because he was “hurting the right people.” They have accepted that their lives will be miserable, and will do everything they can to make sure no person of color, or minority of any type, has it better than them. That’s the most important part to them.

        It’s not even about whether or not the government can do good for all its people, that’s not even a possibility to them. So instead, they see it as a means of making other people more miserable than them, and pulling the ladder up behind them.

      Meh. I don’t care about the thumbs up.

      What sickens me is that they planned this. They strategised how to get in there with the cameras, and how to respond to the inevitable outcry that would follow.

      Their statements in the immediate aftermath are vulgar. The comment about an employee who was suffering a mental health episode trying to stop them. I imagine that employee was upset at seeing the sacrilegious trampling of the dignity of the fallen soldiers in her care.

      It’s also not lost on me that if anyone thought for a second that any political campaign would be so low as to try this, there would be security in place to prevent it. These scum are willing to stoop that low.

      I understand what you mean with the military overall, but I personally find the THUMBS UP to be more egregious when those buried there died in service to our country.

        Did they do? Maybe in service to your politicians but certainly not in service to “the country”

        I dont like valuing people and their deaths like this, but basically any teacher or nurse has done a hundred times more for your country.

          They died in service to their country, most of the teachers and nurses did not. Some of those wars were even just.

            Also I want to add even if you believe that those soldiers were victims of propaganda, they believed they were serving the country. They believed they were serving their fellow man. That counts in my book.

            I lay the blame for why they died at the feet of the men and women responsible for their deployments, not at the feet of those who died believing in something bigger than themselves.
