Trump is trivializing military deaths

[Schwarzer Ritter]

I remember how ABC and Skippy Steponallofus used to post the deaths in the middle east when Bush was President. I sent off an email pointing out Bush would not be president forever. What would Skippy do when a democrat might be in office. Well, Obama won. Slowly, ABC stopped the casualty list. That is your liberal caring. Troops still dying but forgotten by the press.

Little oil and vinegar for that word salad, Schwarzer?

Only Trump cares that much about the press. After all, the free media is a threat to his regime.

And, of course, the fools who take his words as gospel.

Heard another one bit the dust.

And no end game given.
No objective clearly stated.
And no war declared by Congress.

Why are these troops dying?

So in that regard the media is doing a stellar job in covering up the truth that only 6 service members have payed the ultimate price so far. I'm not buying it.

And more to follow, which has happened.
Nobody seems concerned with the civilian death toll.
I seem to remember a certain republican constantly screeching how many civilians died from Obama signing off on strikes.

He turned the solemn occasion into a political photo op.

Fox has tried another lie to the American public….and caught once again. When are MAGAtards gonna learn not to watch that trash that Fox puts out.


Fox News apologizes for showing old video of a hatless Donald Trump at a dignified transfer ceremony

That was disrespectful not removing that gawdy cover.

U.S. ranks have their roots in British military traditions, with the president possessing ultimate authority, but no rank, maintaining a civilian status.

You're right. Civilians should remove their hats as a sign of respect for fallen soldiers.

They shouldn't salute enemy generals, either.

Remember Charles Kuralt (sp) always giving the Vietnam body count on the morning news.
