Failing to go to that other American Cemetery in France when 100 years ago most of them died in mud and rain was bad enough on it's own. But not to go to Arlington on Veteran's Day to me is unforgivable for the 5 times deferred bone spur cowboy. I'm glad none of my WW I and WW II family veterans were alive to see the Coward of NY pull these stunts. Sickening.

You must be in a very small minority of vets who are 'offended' by this. I and everyone I talk to doesn't think this means anything. He is doing right by veterans and active duty.

in the grand scheme of things i would generally agree with u, but i cant get over the hypocrisy that this isnt a big deal but the colored boy didnt put his hand over his chest for the anthem or whatever......
if u were offended by michelle obama eating lobster (steven im looking at u) than i really dont undetstand why people, including veterans, arent at least a bit miffed that the guy evidently said "nahh im too tired, its drizzling out and im so emo bear today"

so that article says obama on memorial day was at another cemetary honoring veterans. I still think its bad show to skip the tomb of the unknown. But at least he was sonewhere else honoring veterans ob that day. Trump was at home watching CNN.

"Let's set the record straight. Mr. Obama will participate today in a ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Illinois, about 50 miles south of Chicago."

As a former serviceman I always found it a self serving photo op for the president to pretend like he gave a $hit about veterans. There's been exactly two presidents in my life who legit cared about the troops and both were named Bush.

Say what you want about W but that's a guy who cares about veterans.

All combat veterans that I know were offended. Paris was at least a little better because of the speech he gave at a closer location, but to not go to Arlington. Nope. No excuses.
EDIT: There is one more I have to ask, so not all.

i have to be quite honest, this one surprises me. This isnt one i expected the trump admin to blow off. Very strange. Almost like somethi g else is going on

I go to the local VFW. No one was offended there, we all thought it was a big fake news story.

Obviously all Trump voters I bet.
PS-and how can it be fake news when he obviously did not go? Fake news implies that the reports of his MIA were inaccurate, which they were not. At least Trumpettes need to get that there IS a difference.

As with most fake stories about rage including endless charges of racism, demands to remove team mascots Etc it's usually just the haters that get offended, or more likely pretend to be. Like I said in the case of Veterans Day being changed to Heroes Day by a local school my friend who served at gitmo wasn't outraged but his feelings were hurt. Most people are normal and don't pitch a bitch about minutiae.

And while we're at it when is this so called "president" going to visit the Cal. wildfire disaster rather than sit back and tweet crapola about how it's the fault of forest managers? What does it take for you guys to see what a disaster we have in the WH? Being a despicable human being does not appear to reach you, so my guess will be only when we are in the depths of the Trump recession. It's coming. Be ready.

Tex even if you have some valid points at times with your criticism of Trump your Trump Derangement Syndrome overcomes any objectivity you might have. Even though the economy is booming now we will have a recession down the road. We always do, it is cyclical.

I guess Kellyanne's husband is equally infected. From conservative source Newsmax. LOL! ?
And BTW I got an answer from my last vet friend, former Special Forces and later Secret Service career.
He gave him a little slack on Paris because of the security complexities of last minute travel changes due to weather (he would know since he did this stuff for a living), but Arlington pissed him off. He is a big time Trump supporter, but did not like that at all. He felt it was a shameful moment for Trump.

i just read it is vet day afterall when they usually do the wreathe laying at the tomb of the unknown.....why did diehard claim it was mem day then?

Memorial day is for well, memorial. Laying Wreaths. Veterans day is not.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEMORIAL DAY AND VETERANS DAY
May 21, 2018| By Teresa VerityMemorial Day and Veterans Day are both patriotic holidays honoring the military, but there is a significant difference between the two aside from when they land on the calendar.
Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday in May, honors the men and women who died while serving in the military. This solemn occasion is a time to reflect on these American patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting and defending the country they deeply loved. Veterans Day, observed every November 11, recognizes all who have served in the Armed Forces.
You may wonder: What is the proper way to acknowledge each holiday? On Memorial Day you can honor the fallen by attending memorial services within your community or laying flowers and planting flags on graves at your local Veterans cemetery. Veterans Day is an opportunity to do the same, but it is also an appropriate time to show your appreciation to Veteran friends and family. You can also recognize Veterans Day by flying the American flag outside your home, visiting or volunteering at a Veteran facility, attending a local event, and, of course, thanking Veterans and their families for their service.
You do not have to wait for a national holiday to show your gratitude to Servicemembers. Any day is a good day to support Veterans either through a charity or giving a heartfelt “thank you” to those who served.

Geez Tex, you have to list everyones 'special forces', former 'secret service' etc. I can list the same but what does it matter. I guess you Texans are just more 'sensitive'.
