The Marines have been referred to as "Devil Dogs" since Belleau Wood in WWI. "Come on you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever??" Was the battle cry from Sgt Maj Daniel Daly...Marines so fierce they earned a nickname that was stay with them to this days. Trump is shitting on their memory and sacrifice and to that I give that bastard a hearty fuck you and would say "Come on you SOB...that shitty hair won't last forever"

He is unfit to be commander in chief of such fine men and women. Sacrifice and honor mean nothing to a wretched excuse of a man like him. I’m sure however he won’t be deterred by rain from meeting with his handler Vlad.

punished for many days ahead.

pretty sure there was a fair bit of rain in the trenches, to go along with the mustard gas. "take five boys, we were going over the top but ya know it's raining, so extra rations and clean socks for everyone!"

No one was there to take it so it's gone completely missing as he couldn't be bothered to close it and carry it himself.

Trumps know they start to look like this if it rains

Or he is afraid of helicopters with Putin around

I always figured that was what the Orange Maggot would look like when he got out of the shower! OK eww. Need brain bleach for that image.

Obviously this is the puppetmaster...

Lavern Cox did this well, but Tim Curry owns this character forever!

Quite a salute from the self-involved asshole.

won’t cancel his meeting with Putin?

has disgraced our country to the world and spat upon our fallen.

I can't help but think this is the part Nazi in him that hates the fact that we won the two WW's. What a total disgrace he is.

Churchill's grandson weighs in on canceled Trump and FLOTUS American cemetery visit in France

They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate @realDonaldTrump couldn’t even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen

but MUCH, MUCH more of A MAN than the pathetic, idiotic mushroom baby..

n/t

and crying because the death of Daniel was so devastating his father died 6 months later. I cry because my father and three of his brother served in World War II, I cried because 8 of my cousins served in Vietnam and fucking Donald Trump is only concerned that we may see his bald head.

So many gave so much and he doesn't care.

i'm still really trying to deal with the fact that such truly bad people are running my country.

and blood. Man, this guy is a wimp. The pretend tough guy routine is falling apart.

... but he needs to respect nary a soul - except for Poo-tin. He is the lowest of all forms of life.

since most all WWI vets are gone and it's raining, so they canceled.

I wonder how many high-risk military missions in helicopters get canceled due to rain...... ......

May have gotten a little wet.. It is rough out there..

they don't care about millions of Americans that have to drive that far to work every day in all sorts of weather.

And, I'll bet tRump wouldn't hesitate to drive 50-miles to make a golf game.....

I guess he's scared of all that French stuff.......

Fucking Snowflake.

But the AMVETS, and Legion still love him!

Him and his hair are his only concerns.

Thread won.

Chickenshit poser.

he has to be there in person to command the delegation is IS going to the cemetery. They'll set up a command center at the nearest golf course.

Commander in chief, ya know......

Fuck Trump and Melania.

As one of the witches exposed in the Mueller "witch hunt", he is afraid of
m. e. l. t. i. n. g!

Thanks!

He pointedly took down his umbrella when he reached that line in his speech.

No snowflake!

remember, it's less than two years and we get this piece of garbage out of office. As we can see from the numbers in the latest election (won 71% of the contests vs. rump's (loser!) pathetic loss of 29%). We need to keep hammering him and remind him of this loss constantly.

To those whose family members served in Europe during WWI and their loved ones didn't return, I thank you humbly for your family member's military service and beg forgiveness for rump's ignorant action(s). RIP.

Rouge Bouquet
by Joyce Kilmer

In a wood they call Rouge Bouquet
There is a new-made grave today,
Built by never a spade nor pick
Yet covered with earth 10 meters thick.
There lie many fighting men,
Dead in their youthful prime,
Never to laugh nor love again
Nor taste the Summertime.

For Death came flying through the air
And stopped his flight at the dugout stair,
Touched his prey and left them there,
Clay to clay.

He hid their bodies stealthily
In the soil of the land they fought to free
And fled away.

Now over the grave abrupt and clear
Three volleys ring;
And perhaps their brave young spirits hear
The bugles sing:
"Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!

Slumber well where the shell screamed and fell.
Let your rifles rest on the muddy floor,
You will not need them any more.
Danger's past;
Now at last,
Go to sleep!"

There is on earth no worthier grave
To hold the bodies of the brave
Than this place of pain and pride
Where they nobly fought and nobly died.
Never fear but in the skies
Saints and angels stand
Smiling with their holy eyes

On this new-come band.
St. Michael's sword darts through the air
and touches the aureole on his hair
As he sees them stand saluting there,
His stalwart sons:
And Patrick, Brigid, Columkill
Rejoice that in veins of warriors still
The Gael's blood runs.

And up to Heaven's doorway floats,
From the wood called Rouge Bouquet,
A delicate cloud of bugle notes
That softly say:
"Farewell!
Farewell!

Comrades true, born anew, peace to you!
Your souls shall be where the heroes are
And your memory shine like the morning-star.
Brave and dear,
Shield us here.
Farewell!"

The American poet Alfred Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918), best known for his work Trees, published in 1914, was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and educated at Columbia University and worked for the The New York Times. He joined the 165th Infantry Regiment, (Fighting 69th), one of four infantry regiments in the 27th "New York" Division of the American Expeditionary Force of WW I. He quickly attained the rank of sergeant, attached to the newly organized Regimental Intelligence Staff. He was encouraged to go to Officer Candidate School and accept a commission but he said he would rather be a sergeant in the 69th than an officer in any other unit in the Army. On July 30th 1918, while gathering intelligence for the regiment during the battle of the Ourcq, he was shot in the head. He was 31 years old, and is buried in France, in the Oise-Aisne American Cemetery. He had married the poet Aline Murray Kilmer (1888-1941) in 1908 and the couple had five children, two daughters and three sons.

When Sgt. Kilmer was killed in action, he and Aline had been married for only a decade; their children ranged from ages one to nine. Aline Kilmer never remarried; five lines from her poem Sanctuary are engraved on her tombstone:

There all bright passing beauty is held forever
Free from the sense of tears, to be loved without regret
There we shall find at their source music and love and laughter,
Colour and subtle fragrance and soft incredible textures:
Be sure we shall find what our weary hearts desire

They’re better off with him NOT there.

Maybe he figured that he’d wind up like the Wicked Witch of the West if he had to stand out in the rain?

“I’m melting!!! I’m melting!!! Oh what a world... what a world...”

Or is that just holy water that does that?

water gets on her.

For him the water will mess up his yellow wig.

Worthless scumbag. I wouldn't want him anywhere except in jail.

Or did he used to spend the winters in Aruba, Jamaica, etc.?

Note that his golf weekends in winter are spent in FL, and in NJ in summer.

and knows he will melt if he gets wet.

Since a hail of bullets is nothing to him, you'd think that a little rain (that everyone else was able to attend in) couldn't stop Orange Rambo from showing up at a minor event like the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

Disgraceful!

If a Democrat President did that - ohhh the howling and outrage.

Was looking cross-wise at Donnie before he left the White House?


(Not that I blame Old Tippecanoe for doing so)

Despicable piece of shit should be explained to by one of his generals that service men and women serve and die in the rain on the field of combat for that rotten piece of shit masquerading as the POTUS*.

Golden showers are ok

Also see catbyte's pic in reply #27.

IIRC, Obama was attacked as disrespectful, because he was not at Arlington National Cemetery instead.

Absolute torrential downpour at an England rugby match today. Didn't seem to put off Prince Harry who didn't even require an umbrella. However, he knows the value of sacrifice and respect.

@realDonaldTrump cares nothing for our military!

That video is from Dieppe WWII ceremony last year. But he did attend WWI today and tomorrow. Still makes point 45 is weaksauce.

than the real reason:

He was afraid that he might be asked an embarrassing question by reporters he can't insult back.
Or that or he may be confronted with protesters.

fucking snowflake.

Football players are unpatriotic for kneeling in protest, but a commander scared of a little rain is?
