I served my country

and was willing to lay down my life so that the Tool-In Chief can play golf on Memorial Day. Good to know that my service meant something. laugh

I think Donald Trump has only got one interest, Cranky: Donald Trump.

Trump went to Arlington and laid a reef just like Obama or any other president. If you want to attack him find something of substance, otherwise you come off looking like a partisan hack.

PS. My mum was thrilled when the American soldiers arrived in Germany. She probably wouldn't have lived much longer if they hadn't.

Let me qualify my comment by saying I am not a vet - I did not go to Nam as I failed the physical - not with a bone spur letter, but a bad heart. But I have to go along with Cranky on this. Trump does not measure up as leader on any score.

On a related note I think the way the US treats its warriors is appalling. We could and should do better.

General Bone Spurs appears morbidly obese, inactive, and over 70. At high risk of Covid related mortality. The country can't afford to pay the hospital bills for these kinds of lazy slobs.

I'm not a great fan of armed combat, but if ever there was a time it was justified, it was WWII.

The fact that it was based upon conscription only leaves me more in awe of the ordinary people like your brother, Ooby, who were so extraordinary and brave in their service to humankind.

The chances of your brother and my mum having crossed paths is probably quite slim, but it was American soldiers who filled her mug with soup. She was too malnourished to eat it all at once, so my grandmother would reheat it bit by bit for her.

I couldn't agree with that more, Mic.

That's why memorial day should be about how it came to pass, as well as those who passed.
