They prefer those who DON'T get killed. Kind of like the whole capture/POW thing.

combat veterans. They served in non-combat roles, as the majority of our military do. While I served in the USAF during the Vietnam War, I went nowhere near that country. Instead, I was sent to Turkey. I am a veteran, nevertheless, but I would never pretend that I was ever in any danger.

Most people who serve in the military do not serve in combat units. They play a support role for those who do. Only a small fraction fights the battles. Those military veterans deserve the honors for their risks and sometimes loss of life.

That President Trump did not show that honor to our WWI war veterans is shameful. His comfort was his only concern, so he remained behind while the other national leaders showed their respects to the dead. Trump has no respect for our war dead. He has no respect for anyone or anything. He is a hollow, shallow, uncaring man.

Given that, I've been to several of the old ASA sites (which became INSCOM sites after the Nixon Administration - ASA was disbanded and rolled into a larger intelligence command because the people who tapped the Watergate's phones were ASA) and all of them had an Air Force section.

I visited Sinop once, and was glad I was in the USAF. I never discuss any details about those days.

But I doubt he can even imagine how sacred Armistice Day is in parts of Europe, let alone the 100th anniversary.

Republican support of Trump is based entirely on hatred of minorities and a desire to piss off us “libtards.” They’ll back anything he says or does as long as it makes us unhappy.

Even after the public argument with Mr. & Mrs. Khan, he still had vets on stage with him.

All they care about is he's a bully with money.
