That he canceled the trip to the WW1 war dead graves.
He is a despicable human being with no sense of duty.

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.

(50,562 posts)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.

(146,329 posts)I visited Sinop once, and was glad I was in the USAF. I never discuss any details about those days.

(25,586 posts)Republican support of Trump is based entirely on hatred of minorities and a desire to piss off us libtards. Theyll back anything he says or does as long as it makes us unhappy.
