Trump Dances and Lip-Synchs To National Anthem at Arlington National Cemetery (Marines, examples)

[moneill]

He was at a cemetery for a memorial service for fallen soldiers. Not a good time to start breaking out in song and bouncing along to the national anthem.

It just isn't.

Just say it -- just say -- oh dear that wasn't right. And leave it at that -- don't justify, excuse, rationalize....he goofed.

You're welcome. Let us know if "stand at attention" confuses you.

I wonder how many of the people who are defending the weird, childish behavior wouldn't hesitate to correct their own 5 year old if their child behaved like that in the same situation.

Because this matters

........did you hear illegal immigration is considerably down and welfare is about to get overhauled?

Then maybe, I should have stopped the ceremony, walked over to the family members and told the to shut up?

BTW, I'm pretty sure I've lost more friends in the military than you, I've lost 16 friends in 1 accident? What about you. SO for you to attempt to lecture me about what should or should not happen, is far from your resume.....
