What do you think about a draft dodger using a falling hero and the surviving spouse as a political pawn?

So you are fine with that? Is that your position?

That moment was not about Trump or anything he had done.

Ask almost any vet, it was wrong of Trump to have her there.
Anyone who did not recognize his sacrifice having it presented to them doesn't deserve to live here.

@Steve42: The vets I know do not feel the way you do.

@SweetMae: Then you don't know many Veterans

@Steve42: I am a vet and have many in my class this week and believe it was the right thing to do.

@Steve42: I agree. Ive been in her shoes and I would have been hysterical to be a spectacle for the man who signed my husbands death warrant.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Steve42: I know plenty. We work with them everyday.

@USMCGUY: As am I a Veteran and was outraged. I also work on Military installation and outrage was the prevailing reaction.

@VioletRaye I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for your service and the service of your lost loved one.
USMCGUY · 46-50, M
@Steve42: Thanks, it is about what I experienced here today as well.
Edit* I misunderstood your position. I thought you were saying outrage at them not recognizing the fallen Chief. You were saying that it was brought up at the address. Two different things.

@USMCGUY: It may be an outrage in your mind but the widow did deserve respect from the audience. Those fights can be fought another time.

@SweetMae: I did not disagree with you on anyone's maltreatment of the Vet's widow. A number of posts back I stated that.

@USMCGUY: "Anyone who did not recognize his sacrifice having it presented to them doesn't deserve to live here." Third response to my original post after your response and SweetMae's initial response to my response to your question.
I am also outraged that Trump used the surviving spouse of a fallen hero.

@Steve42: Got it! Thanks for pointing it out. SO many threads here I got confused a second.

@USMCGUY: No worries.
