gopiscrap (24,680 posts)
When I was 7 years old on a snowy, icy morning I held my mom's hand
as we walked to my fathers new gravesite 3 days before Christmas. I sat there staring at my 38 year old father's flag draped coffin. I cried as I heard taps being played, trembled when the rifles sent out their volleys, and gasped in anguished grief as they lowered my father into the cold earth never to be seen again. It is a searing memory and one that is indelible in a child's mind even as he grows to adulthood.
Why did this happen, my father was shot in Vietnam and and died when he came stateside. He was one of those 58,000 US military victims.
But the one good thing was that his country and president honored him. They accorded him the respect he deserved and affirmed and grieved with his survivors.
I find it completely morally reprehensible and an affront to those families that must go through what I went through, but with the callousness of our leader (and mourner in chief) and his sycophant followers. Never had we had a president who is so unfeeling, so callous and so ignorant of what is required to be a leader. This soulless son of a bitch has no clue what it means to sacrifice, to empathise with another's grief. He will never apologize, he will never recognize their pain. A good start would be to lower the flag at a minimum.
I apologize (on behalf of trump) to those families who are feeling the beginning of this life long grief. This president will never apologize My heart is with you. I can identify with the road you are taking.
And to this administration: Shame on you, not only are you uncaring in a time of this immoral war, but you make the pain of the families who paid the ultimate price harder and with deeper scars!

Time for a pity party :sosad: :sosad: :sosad:
It's a shame all that all those died ans a shame that so many young lives were ruined in what was a useless war that was directed by politicians.

Here's a real "Mourner in Chief" showing what he is:

The video is ~4 minutes long, from receiving bodies of soldiers killed in Kabul. The video gives the full time context, with Biden being Biden in the seconds after 1:30.
President Trump, however, was known for visiting recovering service member in Walter Reed without public announcements or notifying the MSM.
gopiscrap is probably indirectly whining that Trump did not serve in the US military. Consider this contrast: the most recent D POTUS to serve in the US military was Jimmy Carter; the most recent R POTUS not to have served in the US military was Herbert Hoover, a Quaker who in WW1 served in the Wilson Administration's US Food Administration, that managed military and civilian food distribution.
More to the point at hand, keep in mind that had LIEden done this, Dems and other Progs would have praised his decisiveness, cunning, and foreign policy genius. The Dems and their MSM-Parrots are angry that Trump did it, and only for that.

Never mind that Trump is taking down the regime that killed/maimed untold numbers of US military personnel by supplying Iraqi "freedom fighters" with IEDs.

I have seen what happens when a relative is killed during wartime and I was around nine years old when I answered the door for the officers who came to tell my parents that we lost a cousin in Vietnam. Not a fond memory for sure. I have also been to many funerals for people that served in the military as part of the firing squad. Those to me were just as hard to go through because we heard the stories of how they served our country. some of them would frighten any sane person. When I hear any Dem use the deaths of our service members to bag on the right, I just look at them and think of just how low their party sank when they used a funeral for one of their own to hold what amounted to a political rally to gin up support for the next election.

If I remember correctly and I might be wrong, but didn't JFK want to pull the advisors out of Vietnam before he was killed?
