Could you imagine if Obama had skipped this tradition?
Could you imagine if Obama had skipped this tradition? The #GOP would be firing up their pitchforks and denouncing him as just about everything they deem unpatriotic. #DonaldTrump, on the other hand, gets a free pass.

Not even our own National Cemetery? The "Commander-in-Chief" who rants for respect cannot be bothered to honor those who courageously answered the call in defense of this great nation. Really, how can anyone see it as anything but shameful disrespect at best?
My heart breaks for our veterans. My sincerest, most genuine gratitude for all who serve and have served. We honor your service. We honor your sacrifice. You are not forgotten.
It's been an unofficial Veteran's Day tradition for years. The commander in chief visits the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington National Cemetery to honor those who served and sacrificed. Donald Trump is not going.

If he hates it here so much, why doesn't he go back to the Baltics or Czechoslovenia or wherever he picks his next wives and stop shitting on everything in sight. This is nothing less than spitting in the face of every person who has served and is serving. WTF
Anyone like to take on a bet that 45's no show at Aisne-Marne American cemetery and memorial at Belleau plus the same at Arlington because of...
- rain
- having a helicopter that apparently can't fly in rain
-not wanting to disrupt Paris traffic
is not having a demoralizing effect on American troops and veterans everywhere?
IMO 45's behaviour this time is unrelated to politics.Internationally the chat is more related to the implications of any organization that has a leader who demonstrates such weakness...but I digress.
I just can't bring myself to act toward The Donald in the same way that he and his supporters would act toward Obama. Lots of people in this nation totally ignore the horrors faced by U.S. soldiers every single day in Afghanistan, just as The Donald ignores our dead. Shall I judge them all the same? Maybe so, and maybe justly.
But would that make me subject to the same kind of monstrosity that the Republican Party— especially under the current "leadership" (using the term loosely)— has morphed into? I found myself becoming that on Facebook. It's the main reason why I disabled my account there.
Good for you for taking a higher road. You don't need to judge others or react to their monstrosities in a like manner. How they act only reflects them and their twisted beliefs. How you act reflects you.
