He was officially representing us all. He is suppose to understand the military more then any Democrat? Yet gives such ammunition of WHAT HE REALLY DOES NOT KNOW OF ITS FORMALLY IN SOMBER REMEMBERANCE. AGAIN ----> HE WAS NOT STANDING AT A BASEBALL GAME.

If you give the left such ammunition..( pun intended ). Then this flack is NOT FAKE NEWS to try to deny.

Sometimes someone will kind of sing along but it looked dumb for the president to be doing it and nearly laughing at such a solemn time.

You're welcome. Let us know if "stand at attention" confuses you.
ALL one has to do is COMPARE what the General and Mattis is doing! It speaks volumes !

It's quite apparent that whomever has been advising him on appropriateness on certain occasions wasn't absorbed by Trump. He looked like he was enjoying the celebrations of the moment, versus the reverence for the Fallen! It's gone beyond immaturity and after his treatment of Ally's .. It's making cense now. He is actually clueless and has zero understanding of behavioural norms! This is a UUUGE red flag for those suffering dementia.

For my 5 year old, it, once again would depend on how I celebrate death. Is it that hard for you to understand?

If you believe that there were/are no military in New Orleans....well you may have a problem...

Your failure is noted.....
Who are you arguing with? And what does the thing about funerals in New Orleans have to do with a Memorial Day event at Arlington?

It seems obvious that so many have no idea what this day is about. It's not about cookouts and recreation, and having fun. It very much is (or should be) a national day of mourning. It isn't about us at all.
Not everyone wants to be "mourned".....they don't want you to be mad or irritated they are now gone.... Who should say how you do that?

Again, I've lost many friends in a single accident, none of them wanted me to cry for them.....

Clearly, trumpissts can't or won't support their allegations. Happens all the time.

What does your fellings have to do with how other react? Again, I've done numerous MILITARY funerals....been pissed at how people react....should I stop the ceremony?

As I, but to say everyone knows what we know is kinda stupid....

By telling the truth...not everyone reacts the same, for whatever reason.....do you agree with that?

Showing respect is different per person...when he trump tapped his hands, he was in beat with the music....

Because people celebrate death differently, that's been my entire point.....I'm not sure why people (those on the left) have such a hard time understanding this.

Again, while providing Funeral detail in Alaska, not happy with some of the family members and the way they were acting, should I Have stopped the funeral, walked over there and told them to shut up?

mourning on memorial day service is up to the individual i think. (my opinion) so describing it for everyone as a day of mourning is not exactly correct.

however, it is about remembering and honoring those who lost their lives while serving out country in the military. i don't think you can deny that.

(p.s. you don't have to cry be mad or irritated to be in mourning)
