Yeah, no shit. Though thanks for reminding me John McCain is dead

I’m not a “Support the Troops” person. I even have family in the military, I just really don’t care for that jingoism. So I’m not that offended by Trump’s antics disrespecting the military.

What really frustrates me is the fact orange man thought it was a good idea to THUMBS UP in a graveyard. Jesus Christ, no respect for the dead. And every single person around this idiot is cool with him doing that. Fucking ghouls.

paf0 OP ,

I understand what you mean with the military overall, but I personally find the THUMBS UP to be more egregious when those buried there died in service to our country.

unexposedhazard ,

Did they do? Maybe in service to your politicians but certainly not in service to “the country”

I dont like valuing people and their deaths like this, but basically any teacher or nurse has done a hundred times more for your country.

paf0 OP ,

They died in service to their country, most of the teachers and nurses did not. Some of those wars were even just.

Also I want to add even if you believe that those soldiers were victims of propaganda, they believed they were serving the country. They believed they were serving their fellow man. That counts in my book.

I lay the blame for why they died at the feet of the men and women responsible for their deployments, not at the feet of those who died believing in something bigger than themselves.

paf0 OP ,

they believed they were serving the country. They believed they were serving their fellow man. That counts in my book.

Well said

He doesn't respect anyone, so this isn't a surprise. That some people wanted or still want him in a service position to the country when all he cares about is one person named DJT is beyond me. If the previous term didn't show them that, they won't ever get it.

solsangraal ,

it’s still amazing to me that any military personnel still support trump after all the times he shat on the military

ravhall ,

People in the military aren’t the sharpest group.

Ehh, it depends. Polling in 2020 put soldiers at 41℅ Dems/ 37% Republicans, so it’s not fully one way or the other.

From my personal experience, soliders mainly were non voting. After service? Tended to matter where they ended up more than anything else.

This was my experience in the army as well. It was a grab bag of opinions because soldiers come from every part of the country and every walk of life.

They’re the sharpest bulbs in the shed

Military people are a cross-section of Americans at large, not a single bloc.

ravhall ,

I only have responses that would be derogatory and biased against the military in general. And while I think one could apply your statement to most groups of people in any context, you do have a point.

kandoh ,

Racism and guns are more important to them than respect for the military, even if they are that military

NineMileTower ,

Yeah, we know. We didn’t need the apparently unnamed son of John McCain to tell us that.

AmidFuror ,

The post title is actually a link to an article.

paf0 OP ,

His name is Jimmy. First paragraph.

NineMileTower , (edited )

The author could at least directly name them in the title. If it’s significant enough to write an article about, maybe name the guy.

ThirdWorldOrder ,

We all clicked on the post didn’t we?

paf0 OP ,

It’s only important because he is John McCain’s son. Other people have spoken out and it was less news worthy.

lobut ,

No but there’s a few more tidbits in the article like Jimmy McCain voting for Harris and the “ever-so-relevant” Meghan McCain:

Despite her harsh criticisms of Trump, Meghan McCain indicated last week that she would still not endorse Harris. “I’m a lifelong, generational conservative,” she tweeted.

I get your sentiment though.

The true travesty isn’t that he did it, it’s that he was allowed to get away with it like he always is.
