| subject: | Fwd: FW: VETERANS not honored |
Every year the French have a 4 day celebration in Normandy complete with American uniforms, tanks, jeeps and guns. They still honor the Americans who died there....
June 6, 2015, the 71st anniversary of "D-Day", the largest invasion ever attempted, where 200,000 Americans stormed the beaches at Normandy to begin the final push to defeat Nazi Germany in WWII.
D-Day marked the turning point in WWII in Europe... Today, European heads of state make it a point to recall and honor the sacrifices of those who landed in Normandy, as do our Presidents.... well, most of them....
In the 69 years since D-Day, there are four occasions when the President of the United States chose not to visit the D-Day Monument that honors the soldiers killed during the Invasion.
The occasions were:
1. Barack Obama, 2010
2. Barack Obama, 2011
3. Barack Obama, 2012
4. Barack Obama, 2013
For the past 69 years, every American President except Obama have taken the time to honor the memory and sacrifices of the 6,000 American soldiers killed on D-Day. ...Except Obama!
June 6 2010, Obama had no events scheduled.
June 6, 2011, Obama met with the National Security team and was interviewed by WEWS Cleveland and WDIV in Detroit about the auto industry - FAR too busy to visit the D-Day memorial.
June 6, 2012, instead of honoring our fallen soldiers, Obama made a campaign trip to California on Air Force 1 (at our expense) to raise funds for (his) upcoming election.
June 6, 2013, Obama was doing ANOTHER fund raiser with the multimillionaires in the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in Palo Alto, CA, once again at our expense.
America - Aren't you proud?
Four times in 69 years!!
SHAME ON AMERICA FOR ELECTING A NON-VETERAN, PRESIDENT WHO DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF: HE IS ABSOLUTELY A DISGRACE TO ALL WHO FOUGHT FOR THIS NATION AND GAVE THEIR LIVES.
VETERANS - PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR VETERAN FRIENDS AND FAMILIES.
I did forward it. Will you????
Courage is not the absence of fear...

You know who doesn't respect veterans?
Conservatives. Because they keep recycling this nonsense.
Yawn.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/dday.asp
Can't believe we elected a "non-veteran" President, unlike that famous warrior George W Bush. He must have been a veteran because I saw him in quasi-uniforms dozens of times.
Now that is something that should actually irritate a veteran: having a President shamelessly using the military as a photo opportunity backdrop when he was actually a chicken-shit deserter.
Conservatives only love Veterans who advance their agenda of Neo-Feudalist Wage Slavery and destruction of the American Dream. If you are against the Right-Wing Ideals of Oppression, Intolerance and Adulation of the Rich then conservatives hate you.
Please awaken me when conservatives actually DO something to really SUPPORT the troops. The D-Team ain't much better, but all the R-Team does is shameless propaganda dressed up to pretend like they "support" the troops, when they don't. Just talk to any returned Vet about the services they enjoy, especially at the VA.
However, RWD, as usual, loves to lap up these racist lies. Easily satisfied and feels like he's "done his job." What nonsense.
@ferschitz
For Republicans, "supporting the troops" means shaking the hand of a soldier when they meet them and thanking them for their service. They feel that should be sufficient.
Hey, but CharlieE - What you state is a lot better than how most Democrats support the troops. Most Democrats I know absolutely LOATHE all things military and won't even have the common decency to shake a soldier's hand in an airport nor thank them for their service.
Most Democrats are fokin' so classless that even that would be too much for them....real fokin' PATRIOTS!!!! NOT!!! :-(

Mike,
You need to get out of your trailer park more often to meet some better Democrats.
The democrats don't support the troops. They ARE the troops.
@ "Mike"
You're so full of shit it's coming out your ears.
LOL at you dumb asses.
Most folks associated with the "Military" and the "dreaded Military Industrial Complex" which you liberal weenies abhor so much vote REPUBLICAN!!!!!!
It's common sense (something you liberals don't have much of).
You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

@ Mike
A majority do, but plenty do not. And so what? Believe it or not, we can respect their service and not agree with their political views.
You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Excuse me? Who feeds who here? The military is constitutionally subservient to civilian authority, and logistically dependent on OUR taxes for support. They do an important job as part of our society but by no means are they the only contributors, and by no means are they "the hand that feeds".
The fact that you think otherwise makes me think you dream of living in some kind of military junta. I'm sure there are many countries that can suit your need to worship men with big guns.
Recommend not feeding the troll. That way lies madness. No good will come from it. Over and out.
Hooray,
You're correct. I was going to offer to hit him over the head with my ShoeFone (not an Obama supporter so I can't get the ObamaShoeFone) or kick him in the nads but then I figured I couldn't kick him in the nads because...well...he doesn't have any. He has a vagina and it's usually in a knot and plus I figured better to just leave it alone and not feed the troll.

Oops...my bad.
LOL at anyone who states the "the Democrats are the troops"!!! bwahahahahahahahaha
What liberal psycho world do you live in, sir?
The majority of the grunts in the Armed Forces vote Republican and are damn proud of it (even though they come from lower to lower middle class families and are usually white trash, latinos, or blacks).
Don't ya know....the Military Industrial Complex and the Armed Forces in general are a GOP "jobs program".
Why would a grunt on the front lines even fathom voting for Obama or any other Democrat? Again, you don't vote against the hand that feeds you, bruh.
Obama would rather negotiate and bow to our enemies than go to war.
Signed,
Beatle Bailey :-)

The officers traditionally lean Republican, but the grunts definitely lean to the Dems - especially after a tour or two.
The Center for Responsive Politics reported last month that military personnel had donated $678,611 to Obama, 85% more than the $398,450 the Romney campaign had collected.
Same bullshit it was when I saw it the first time in May of 2012. I replied back writing that no President went to Normandy until Reagan, who took a precious presidential moment to reveal who he truly was by laying a commemorative wreath at the German SS cemetery in Bitbugh. (With photo attached.)
I did love this part: "SHAME ON AMERICA FOR ELECTING A NON-VETERAN PRESIDENT WHO DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF."
And of today's top-10 leading Republican candidates for president - not one has ever served in the military. And the screaming from the Reich-wingers about that....? (Sound of crickets...)
