Patriotism Of Display

Love how the white trash "patriots" get a hardon when the flag is mentioned but had no trouble having avoided military service .Maybe if these slugs had served and witnessed war first hand they might not now be cheerleaders for mindless patriotism

They all stood! Most saluted. Others held their hand over their heart. Nary a soul knelt in protest. The anthem was exquisitely And beautifully sung by a combined choir of solders and sailors. The crowd cheered to the high heavens and there were American flags everywhere. The game was a fantastic display of defensive football, as Army beat Navy by 7 points for Army’s 3rd win over the Navy in the last 3 years after the Navy had put together 14 consecutive years of victories over the Army.

The President of the United States was at the game. He sat till halftime on the Army side of the field and in the second half he sat on the Navy side of the field. The young solders and sailors ganged around him, shook his hand and talked with him.

After the game the players together crossed the field and sang the songs of the Army and the Navy schools.

It was the Football Game Of The Year as it always is for every proud American. God bless America’s armed forces, they’re truly the pride of the nation!


Displaying Patriotism doesn't make you a Patriot :rolleyes:
 
When do traitors do it?


Anytime they want and with your backing and approval ... you need look no further than in the White Trailer Park at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

You know, the Guy who sent a Big Fuck You to every Veteran when he couldn't be bothered to get his hair Wet.

So go Fuck Off with your view of Patriotism, because I don't give a Shit.

:cool: Next!
 
Just so you'll know dear Frankie, I "CONTRIBUTED" this thread! You contributed insults and unfounded accusations, that's it as I predicted!!!!!

Just so you know, my dear friend, Robo...

...my first post was a "contribution"...and a reasonable one. You apparently think my calling Donald Trump an incompetent, ignorant, boorish, classless, disgusting dolt...is inappropriate and insulting.

I, on the other hand, think calling the abomination, Donald Trump, incompetent, ignorant, boorish, classless, and a disgusting dolt...is like calling him a white American of European heritage.

He IS a white American of European heritage...and he most assuredly is incompetent, ignorant, boorish, classless, and a disgusting dolt.

Nothing "unfounded" about that. You started this thread...and I have contributed.

The Veterans department is having more problems that Trump said he would fix, what is he doing besides hours of executive time? Does he even know there are problems?

And here you told me I'd have to wait for your contributions. I actually only have to wait till your next post for your parroted contributions of insults and unfounded accusations. Those friend are your only opinions and comical and childish ones at that. Keep em coming Frankie my "evidence bank" is overflowing.

I spoke to a vet yesterday that uses the vet hospitals. He informed me that seeing doctors and getting healthcare services was his major problem with the veteran's hospitals that is until Trump who has arranged his availability to private market hospitals and the veteran's admin. pays the bills.

Please talk to one of the veterans who lost their living place because of problems.

It is a great thing Congress passed this bill allowing veterans who had to travel to receive care at nearby facilities, it is a good thing, but there are still significant problems created by Trumps administration that need to be addressed.

Funny how an empty gesture like attending a memorial would have been considered patriotic (if only the fool had bothered to do it), even though behind closed doors he's cutting veterans benefits, food stamps, housing, etc.

You are the one who kept saying you will wait...and who am I to disappoint.

In any case, you are posting comment after comment that has nothing whatever to do with you topic...and in general, making an ass of yourself. I do not mean that as a compliment...making an ass of you is easy pickings.

Glad to contribute to your "evidence bank"...but I think it is the bullshit that is overflowing...not the evidence.
 
Ironic too. trump is starving veterans, and leaving them out in the cold. He only likes heroes. Those who fought and encountered problems when they returned home aren't heroes.

Perhaps if they didn't enlist, but bragged about their accomplishment, trump would love them?

I'm totally with you on your distaste for Trump but I have little feeling for American veterans. In my opinion Americans gush over veterans and the military far too much and that's leading dangerously too close to more wars. The US is responsible for nearly 40 wars of aggression since WW2 alone.

And in my opinion Trump represents extreme danger in that respect.

Given that my dear friend...a Vietnam veteran...is days away from dying of Agent Orange related cancer, I'll discuss my feelings about the issue.

The draft ended about 1 year before my 18th birthday. I remember worrying about being shipped off to Vietnam, never fully understanding why the hell we were there in the first place.

Re. veterans...those from the draft era deserve our respect, as they had no choice. They were ripped from their families (unless they had parents in high places), and sent off to do the bidding of our cowardly legislators. Sure...many enlisted, but that was because they were more apt to get the branch/duty they wanted. They were going to get called up anyway.

Unless they had bone spurs.

After Vietnam, we had more than a decade of peace time. With a shit economy, many people I know, and even more that I don't, opted for military service in exchange for free college tuition, and other perks that are part of their guarantee. The risk/reward was well worth it. Until Bush. Many just happened to get stuck in a 'safe' enlistment when the moron invaded Iraq. I do have pity for them to a degree, but they chose to join the MIC in exchange for the aforementioned perks.


So..when I discuss veterans, I am disgusted by a govt that ripped our kids from their homes, and now refuse to hold up the contract that was agreed upon.

Those who enlisted after the draft, made a conscious decision to gamble on the dangers, or chose to ship out after we were engaged in the Mid East debacle.

I still feel that the latter should be afforded all of the perks that are guaranteed by law. They served. They earned it.

I don't see them as heroes, any more than a person who chooses to become a teacher.

I understand and respect your position. And so I'm not gung-ho for a debate on your points you've made. But there are a few points to sort out before I just leave it as something we agree to disagree upon.

All of America's wars since WW2 have been illegal by America's own definitions.

All veterans who chose to take part in those wars can be somewhat excused if they were drafted.

All draftees had a choice to refuse to be a part of an illegal and immoral war.

No veteran of US wars can be legitimately excused for their crime of serving than any military person of Hitler's WW2 Germany.

I'm always willing to debate the guilt or the innocence of anther country's military as it relates to the US military.
