NP - happy readingThere we are. Tanks.
Meanwhile, the rival ticket includes a stolen valor fraudster.
No it does not; you merely prove your own gullibility parroting that. Walz’s 24 years of honorable service are already well documented farther up thread, including clear explanations of the difference between his final CSM appointment on what we would recognize as an “acting lacking” basis, versus the substantive rank for which he’s entitled to benefits. Also thoroughly dissected is the timeline of his decision to retire and run for congress, and his submission of his retirement package, versus when his unit first got notified for mobilization.

As to Trump attending a memorial… Yeah. Thumbs up at a soldier’s grave is certainly a look one could choose.View attachment 87585
Not a look I’d choose personally though, but then I’m not trying to salvage a reputation of contempt for serving members and veterans, whilst simultaneously making as many things as possible about me for purposes of an election campaign.
Unsurprising.Lmao
Is that an actual quote? Please provide the reference."I was CSM on conditions of service but left before meeting those conditions, immediately before my unit would deploy to Iraq.
But please call me CSM anyway."
The clowns are the ones trying to besmirch his service. I guess political leanings overrides service. Sad. Go ahead and hate on him for his policy positions but really? Going after his service?A clown.
Confirmation bias.I'm relying on statements from his former colleagues.
Huh? Are you actually calling out Brihard’s morality here? Ad hominem at best, completely ignorant statement at worst. Either way I fail to see how that statement does anything other than reveal the weakness of your argument.Also, weren't you recentlycelebratinggleefully rationalizing the deaths of Trump supporters on these forums recently? Hardly what I'd call a paragon of morality.

Yeah, those family members look really pissed off.No it does not; you merely prove your own gullibility parroting that.

Morning stars and halberds at 50 paces. Seconds are to report at first light..I absolutely was not, and that’s a disgusting allegation. I challenge you to either back that accusation up, or retract it and apologize. Your integrity and credibility is at stake.
Let’s not pretend that this was something he would have done were he not campaigning. The campaign is linking those event with Biden/harris so that is why he was there. Add to that his long history of attacking and demeaning the military service of his opponents, putting medals he gives his donors on par with medals given to war heroes etc then it is easy to see what he is doing here.Yeah, those family members look really pissed off.
In the meantime, there are an awful lot of US military, active and Veterans, that don't agree with your assessment. Either of Walz or Trump. Your assessment is only your opinion of how you perceived what you wanted to read.
Couple blasphemous throwing up the devil's hand sign too.As to Trump attending a memorial… Yeah. Thumbs up at a soldier’s grave is certainly a look one could choose.View attachment 87585
So the guys that did deploy from his unit, including the CO and CSM are clowns? Talk about disrespecting and going after someone's serviceThe clowns are the ones trying to besmirch his service. I guess political leanings overrides service. Sad. Go ahead and hate on him for his policy positions but really? Going after his service?
You're making assumptions. Your bias is on full display.Let’s not pretend that this was something he would have done were he not campaigning.

I’m sure that family was thrilled to have a former POTUS attend. If that made their day then good for them. I hope it did. But I’m not going to be convinced this was a thing he felt he needed to do out of duty or what not. It was an election stunt to support an election attack line.
I’m sure it’s divided the veteran and service member community. Like this article highlighting a few upset ones.

Trump's Arlington Cemetery visit ripped by Navy vet: 'Treasonous traitor'
Retired Navy veteran Brad Berkwitt says Trump used the special occasion to "defecate on our fallen soldiers buried there."www.newsweek.com
While I am aware that 26 Aug was the anniversary of the Kabul airport suicide bombing that cost the lives of 18 Americans, what was the status of this ceremony? Was it organized by any entity of the US government? Any of the elected branches? Some level within DOD? A military organization? A veterans organization? Families of the deceased? I haven't found any reference to it other than the attendance of Trump and non-attendance of Biden and Harris.
Was the ceremony intended to be a "national" commemoration of the end of the Afghan misadventure or the losses sustained during that conflict? If so what will be the significance of 30 Aug (the final day of withdrawal)? And if it wasn't a "national commemoration", were the President and Vice President invited? There is protocol for these things.
Some of the families of the troops killed in the attack invited Mr. Trump to the ceremony arranged with the National Park Service. They did not invite Biden administration officials.

As is yours.You're making assumptions. Your bias is on full display.
