My Wife and I, along with a friend of hers, went to Ft. Snelling National Cemetery
yesterday. We visited my wife's father's gravesite and the gravesite of the grandfather of another friend of hers. I would like to have visited my father and mother's gravesite, but that is in California.
Ft. Snelling was crowded with people yesterday. It's more crowded today. People paying their respects to relatives who served in the U.S. Military. Every year they come to do that, which makes an incredible amount of sense.
So, this morning, I read Donald J. Trump's nasty, all-caps diatribe which served as his Memorial Day tribute. The thing is that he has no family members who were veterans of the U.S or any other military. To Trump, veterans are just losers who couldn't get out of serving. Trump, himself, avoided service in the Vietnam War era, the time when I did my four years in the USAF. For him, military service is stupid. Why would anyone do that? he wonders.
And yet, The Ft. Snelling National Cemetery is busy this weekend - full of people who understand the service given by people in their own families, and often by themselves. Trump does not understand that at all. That is why he is an angry, vicious man who has nothing but contempt for those who serve.
More's the pity.

So, this morning, I read Donald J. Trump's nasty, all-caps diatribe1. which served as his Memorial Day tribute. The thing is that he has no family members who were veterans of the U.S or any other military2.. To Trump, veterans are just losers who couldn't get out of serving3.. Trump, himself, avoided service in the Vietnam War era4., the time when I did my four years in the USAF. For him, military service is stupid. Why would anyone do that? he wonders.5.
1. The articles I found gave excerpts of Trump's post. This might be the full text, though it is from The Hill, https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5318571-trump-memorial-day-message-biden-administration/ :
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE,THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN, ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY. HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL.
The "nasty" and "diatribe" are such in MM's POV. MM sees facts he doesn't want to hear or be heard as "nasty".
2. Fred Trump Sr. (DJT's father) was 36 when PH was attacked, marginally military aged, if not age-exempt. His father was born in Germany, emigrated to Canada, and then emigrated to the US. During WW2, Fred Trump built housing in Norfolk, VA for naval personnel and shipyard workers.
Among DJT's brothers, Fred Trump Jr. was born in 1938, so no WW2 service. Sometime in the 1950s he joined the Air National Guard. At some point between the mid 50s and mid 60s he became a pilot, possibly with some ANG training/service as such, and became an TWA pilot in 1966. His career as such was brief, due to his alcoholism. Robert Trump does not appear to have served in the military. So MM is incorrect, unless he does not consider ANG service to be military service.
3. Long debunked false claim.
4. False claim. At various times, DJT's draft status was a student deferment and a classification meaning he could be drafted in times of national emergency (due to his medically diagnosed heel bone spur).
5. In the real world, Trump is effusive in his respect for those who have served and are serving. How many DU members yelled "Baby-killer" and other epithets at US military members in times past (or recently/currently)? What are the odds some such revilings got posted on DU during Cindy Sheehan's tantrum (which her son would probably have rejected) near GWB's home?

From W'pedia:
While studying at the University of Delaware and Syracuse University, Biden obtained five student draft deferments. Based on a physical examination, he was given a conditional medical deferment in 1968; in 2008, a spokesperson for Biden said his having had "asthma as a teenager" was the reason.
I'm guessing that LIEden's "conditional medical deferment" was the same status as Trump's though for a different medical reason.

He got the deferment because his uncle was eaten by cannibals and he was working on the cure for windshield oil cancer. :thatsright:

Damn, I'm surprised this DUchebag didn't burst into flames stepping on hallowed ground reserved for those who have honor.

A leftard going to a National Cemetary? The only reason reason those POS go to one is to spit on the tombstones.

So, DUmp'Rats...
What's the likelihood that Hunter Biden - who "served" in the US Navy, mind you - will be interred in one of the National Cemeteries?
NONE! That's what happens when your Senaturd daddy reaches for every string he can pull just to keep your Administrative Discharge for cocaine use from becoming the full blown DISHONORABLE Discharge it should have been.
I really, truly wish I could score the beer concession at the cemetery where all of the Bidens will eventually be buried. My descendents would be set up for the remainder of their days. :pisscontest:

Speaking of pissing on graves.
I scored Hanoi Jane in our death pool. I feel really good about that selection. :popcorn:
