No problem.

Some I served with are still alive, and some I have gotten to know even though they predated me. For a number of years I went to an event in Dayton that coincided with the Bomb Wing's anniversary and there were--originally--dozens of WWII and Korean vets from that wing. All at least 20 yrs my senior. I went for almost 20 years, and year by year their number dwindled. They would talk, and after seeing me for many years, and knowing what I did, they actually invited me to a few events.

Each year there were fewer. Last time I was with them--maybe 5 years back--there were only about 4 WWII ones left. It was always a very sobering--but in its unique way enjoyable--remembrance. And education for me.

You can only speak for yourself.

Trump could line up all the Veterans and shoot them in the back in broad daylight in NYC and you wouldn't care...especially all the former loser POWs.

Just a fake letter so he could look after his Whore in college.

I think he called her ... "My Girl"!

Is this your excuse for Trump not going to Arlington Cemetery?

If you have monitored this Forum long enough, you know that I'm a Veteran. And I agree that it is bad "optics" not to be at every happening that has to do with Veterans.

But do I care? No. I did exactly the same thing this Verterans Day as I have done since I ETS'd out over 50 years ago. Monday morning, I got up and went to work.

Memorial Day is different. That honors those who gave their lives.

Jackie you are an honorable man.

Trump doesn't need an "excuse" for not going anywhere or going somewhere. He probably doesn't even ask Melanie, if he can or not, but only if she'd like to go or not. Whether he went or not didn't affect my day one bit.

Then why are you in this thread making excuses for him?

So in a thread where Trump himself makes an excuse for not going to Arlington Cemetery and said he made a mistake you aren't making an excuse for him when you said he did not have to make an excuse for not going to Arlington Cemetery?

Wow you need a pretzel with that

LexusLover · 11-17-2018, 12:50 PM

You should get points for that post.

WTF · 11-17-2018, 12:56 PM

Who would have thought that trump would go on to be a Rhodes scholar...or was that rock star Bill? Trump was born w money and no brain. Bill was born with no money an a great brain.

Really? For pointing out that you are making excuses for Trump in a thread where Trump admits he was wrong.

let me try and help you out with understanding this thread Trump admitted he was wrong yet some of you come in here and in making excuses for his admittance of being wrong

It's all in the "eyes" of the beholder!

Unfortunately, "Bill's" focus was on molesting subordinates and lying about it. And "his girl" facilitated it and made excuses for him ... like .... "The Great Right Wing Conspiracy"!

It's too bad he never new who is father is (or was), it might have helped his emotional affliction as he struggled to be relevant.
