Ok so he likes service members that don’t get captured, calls those who died ‘losers/suckers’, insulted those who “earned” our nation’s highest recognition of valor, and now poses for a thumbs-up photo op in front of a dead trooper’s grave at our nation’s most hallowed ground?

I will never understand how anyone even remotely connected to the military could support that guy.  

Anytime I’m in DC, I have to visit and catch a guard change.  They’ve unfailingly guarded those remains for decades, from ice to hurricanes to blistering summers, walking so precisely the marble is worn by their footsteps.  

In the army, you have a better shot at going from boot to passing RASP (Ranger) to passing the Q course (special forces) to eventually getting selected for Delta than you do getting to wear an Honor Guard badge. 

Once again, dude somehow manages to denigrate people who have a drive that I’ll never be able to fully fathom from the outside…drive to give their lives to save their buddies or to serve a ceremonial role where you don’t even wear rank, silently suffering in the elements to honor others.  
 

/soapbox

I know a guy that spent some years at that DC marine barracks doing the ceremonial stuff and standing at marine one. He could still do it exactly right all these decades later. Made a “marines for Biden” yard sign in 2020. I suspect he’d love nothing more than to beat the life out of Donald Trump.

To me, Trump’s cheating at golf reveals a lot about his supporters.  These are people who don’t wish they were actually good at golf.  They are the type of people who wish they could cheat at golf and say they are good and get away with it. DJT gets to do that and they live vicariously through him.  It’s not even “everyone gets a trophy,” it’s more like “I give myself and no one else a trophy and everyone else has to pretend it’s real.” 
 

It’s a fascinating psychological profile.

I think the appeal is simply that these people are losers, and I don't mean that because they can't win at golf or any other type of competition athletic or otherwise.  They are losers because they can't accept responsibility for their own actions or decisions that have put them in a cycle of misery.  This is a consistent theme for not just MAGA people but Republicans in general; there is always someone else to blame, it's never their fault.  These are people without the ability of self reflection or introspection.  

If they have a car accident, suddenly, it's the Federal Government's fault, never mind the fact that you ran a stop sign an hit a truck.  This is the kind of thinking we are dealing with.  These are people that blame everyone but themselves for their lot in life, as if they aren't active participants in their own lives.  Which by the way, lets face it, most American's live a pretty decent existence, the fact of the matter as many of us are ingrates.  

At the end of the day, this doofus appeals to these people because he, like them, thumb's his nose at reality, blames everyone and everything for any of his problems, and never takes any accountability for his actions whatsoever.  In a sense, he's the doofus loser super "hero" that they all aspire to be.  Winning isn't really done on a field, course, or any other venue, it's done thru learning and improving yourself.

Sorry for the longcat, but a really good read (original twitter post for reference, quote is substack copy of same thread)

 

Quote

We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket, and then, for hours and hours, we’d go through our exact movements.

Over and over and over and over.

Those were hot and humid D.C. summers, and it didn’t matter. Drink water. And then back at it. We’d march up crisply, pick up the casket, go through the entire funeral protocol—with an earned coordination that would rival any synchronized swimming team—and then do it again.

The first summer I was in the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), the A/C stopped working in our barracks. Think of the most depressing college dorm you’ve ever seen and remove air conditioning. We’d wake up in sweat in the middle of the night and open the fridge and stick in our face for a little relief.

We’d run through flag-folding drills at night in those hot barracks. We’d stand in the hallway in our casket teams, and we’d fold and fold and fold until we could do it in our sleep. Whatever you’ve seen in movies doesn’t come close. It is an exacting choreography. No movement wasted or erred.

Does the flag look perfect in presentation? Are the red and white stripes hidden? Are the stars symmetric? Is the cloth tight in the final form? No? Why the hell not? You’d give this to a mourning relative? Do it again. We will be here all goddamn night until you get this right.

Your exhaustion doesn’t matter. Better get some sleep. No excuses. I arrived at the unit as a 19 year-old Army private, not even being close to knowing that I didn’t know what I didn’t know. You sure as hell better learn and quick. Figure it out. Get yourself right. Pray if you’re the praying type.

Because families are flying in from all across the country for what will be one of the absolute worst days of their lives, shattered, maybe beyond repair, and all we can meagerly offer them is choreographed dignity in place of irreparable loss. It will never be close to enough. Perfection is never enough.

We’d spend so much time on our uniforms. There were presses in the basement. You think your barracks room is hot? Go downstairs and be hugged by steam. Learn how to use the press. Get those creases sharp. Eradicate all wrinkles. Ignore the sweat dripping into your eyes.

We carried micrometers with us to ceremonial details to ensure our uniforms were right — down to the centimeter. We’d shine every metallic surface on our bodies. What are fingerprints? We don’t know. We’d coat the soles of our shoes with edge dressing to turn them from grey to black.

I can’t believe I’m saying this now, but learning rifle manual and element marching was taking a break from everything else. Tedious as all hell. We wore steel plates on our shoes to click as we marched. They’d bang into our ankles at times, and you’d try not to swear. That was our break.

It was constant stress, all day, every day, and yet, we had it easy. If you want hard, go volunteer for the Tomb Guards. Go ahead and throw yourself into the actual deep end and find out if you can swim. Just raise your hand when they ask for volunteers.

Go to the Tomb, and work 18-hour days for months and months. You will learn everything there is to know about Arlington. You will memorize pages and pages of information. You will recite it all from memory, or you will fail. You will barely get sleep. You will have no life. There is only the Tomb.

I knew, deep down, I wasn’t ready for that. I respected it too much to raise my hand. I didn’t volunteer. My roommate volunteered. It was a curious decision on his part given that he struggled more than any other private. He definitely wasn’t ready, but God bless him for stepping up.

It takes nine months to earn the Tomb Badge, which, at the time, in terms of rarity within the U.S. military, was second only to the Astronaut Badge. Only 500 military personnel have earned the Astronaut Badge. Only 864 have earned the Tomb Badge. Walk in space or walk in front of the Tomb. That’s rarity.

My roommate was back with us in three months. He didn’t make the cut. Sink or swim at the Tomb. There is one standard: it is perfection and that’s all there is to it. He came back to us and had the sharpest, most squared away uniform in our entire company until the day he got out.

But the truth is that the Tomb Guards had it easy, too. We all had it easy. Because the hardest job in Arlington National Cemetery doesn’t involve wearing a uniform. The hardest job is being a cemetery official who is given the impossible task of bringing comfort to families.

I arrived at the unit in April of 2006. In January of 2007, Pres. Bush announced a dramatic increase in troop deployments to Iraq, now known as the Surge.

For three consecutive months that year—April, May, and June—there were over 100 U.S. military fatalities in Iraq — the deadliest year for U.S. service members in the Global War on Terror.

They came back in transfer cases on a C-130 at Dover Air Force Base, and I honestly don’t know how many of them wound up buried in Arlington. But I know there were a lot. I know we were pretty busy. All day carrying caskets or leading the caisson horses or marching behind them.

That’s not including the many fatalities in Afghanistan. That’s not including the old veterans who had passed and long ago earned the right to be buried there or their family members who qualified for burials, too. Funerals, funerals, and more funerals. That sums up 2007 for The Old Guard.

Who leads on caring for the families on one of the worst days of their lives? Who plays the painful combination of clergy and therapist to the aggrieved? Who does whatever they can for the ceremonial units? Who enforces respect for that hallowed ground?

Cemetery officials.

Day after day, month after month, year after year, it’s the cemetery officials, the civilians, some of them veterans, who undertake the ludicrously impossible task of cobbling together comfort and dignity for families who have had their hearts ripped out and stomped on by tragedy.

I can’t imagine doing what they do. If I were forced to make a choice between the public service they carry out for grieving families OR putting on a uniform to join a marching element, I’m going back to the steam room. At least in that procession, there’s an available freedom to be numb.

On Monday, according to reporting by NPR’s Quil Lawrence and Tom Bowman, a cemetery official was allegedly assaulted and harassed by members of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign because the official was enforcing a common sense regulation restricting filming or taking photographs.

Cemetery officials had issued clear guidance that only Arlington personnel are permitted to take video or photos in Section 60, the final resting place for those service members who were killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Trump campaign staffers thought it didn’t apply to them. They were wrong.

Moreover, Arlington National Cemetery released a public statement confirming a report had been filed over the incident and included this bit:

“Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support, of a partisan political candidate's campaign. Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants.”

What were Trump’s campaign staffers attempting to do that was so flagrantly in violation of this law that a cemetery official, in the midst of all their other necessary responsibilities, felt it necessary to step in and put a stop to it?

This comes almost two weeks after Trump, during remarks at a campaign stop, called the Presidential Medal of Freedom “better” than the Medal of Honor, a moment so completely and weirdly disrespectful that the VFW National Commander issued a statement condemning him.

This comes almost four years, nearly to the day, after reporting by The Atlantic that Trump had called American war dead “losers” and “suckers,” which was corroborated by several other news organizations, a senior official in the Defense Department, and a senior Marine Corps officer.

This comes more than eight years after Trump attacked and insulted the parents of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2004, drawing widespread condemnation from leaders in his own party.

This comes more than nine years after Trump slandered the military service of the late Sen. John McCain, who spent five-and-a-half years in captivity as a prisoner of war, being tortured, refusing to sell-out his fellow service members.

As you’ll probably recall, Trump stated: “He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

I fully admit to being a partisan, but for me, none of this is about politics because none of the Republicans or conservatives I have ever known would so much as consider showing anything but respect and admiration for our service members, our veterans, and their families.

This is not about favor for any party or campaign because the moment you enter Arlington, politics are to be left at the gate. It’s not about you or me or anyone other than those buried in that ground and their loved ones who will never see them again because of their collective sacrifices.

But Donald Trump is unwilling or unable to understand that because he cannot conceive of offering the highest degree of selfless service to our nation. The concept of “all gave some, some gave all” is entirely incomprehensible to him. And therefore, he cannot extend proper respect to our military.

I cannot wait for the time to come when this self-absorbed coward will permanently exit public life into a tarnished and thoroughly mediocre legacy that will haunt him for the rest of his days.

I've visited Arlington formally, but one of the most powerful and moving moments of my life was an early summer afternoon 20+ years ago.  We had flown to Washington where my wife was to perform the wedding of one of her best lifelong friends.  The wedding was at the Fort Myer Old Post Chapel at Arlington (see circled red spot below).

 

We were there the afternoon before the wedding for the rehearsal.  I wasn't in the wedding, and wasn't needed at the rehearsal.  So I walked out of the chapel, and wandered south into the cemetery.  That is a very old section of the cemetery (one of the original sections), with row after row of headstones of civil war dead.  The trees are just as old, with broad canopies covering most of the area.  Most of your walk is in shade, with some dappled light breaking through.  Stone after stone.  And so many without names, a "soldier known but to god."  After seeing another, and another, and another, I stopped at one.  I stared at the stone.  Under which rested a son, perhaps a brother, a father, and surely a friend to someone.  Who, 140 years ago, had died in battle, and never known again after that day.  Nobody knew to visit him.  Nobody knew who he was, so those who loved him could never know where he was.  In these 140 years, had anyone stopped to visit his resting place?  Almost certainly not anyone who knew him, who loved him, who felt his loss personally.  Had anyone stopped to take a moment to let the depth of his sacrifice wash over them?  Maybe yes, maybe no.  So I did.  His grave was only one I stood at, and said a prayer at.  I stood there for a long time.  I felt the warm but slight breeze, pleasant enough there in the shadow of the trees.  There were rows upon rows.  There's no way to honor each of them individually.  That realization felt overwhelming, and heartbreaking.

So we honor all of them.  In a place of quiet dignity.  

I walked back to the chapel and sat in the back as I waited for my wife to finish the rehearsal.  I looked at the pew back pocket in front of me.  In it was a program for a memorial service that had been held the day before for one of our dead from the (at that time) still new war in Iraq and Afghanistan.  It was a hell of a reminder of how the line of sacrifice and loss is unbroken.

I didn't take a single damned picture that day.  Because that's not why I was there.  That's not why you go there.

If you want to know why I hate Donald Trump -- and I mean it, I hate him deeply and viscerally -- this latest incident is a really good explanation.

There were two possible components to the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and the seemingly arbitrary date trump set that make that deal make sense. Highly unethical and likely treasonous, but traceable.

One was meant to destabilize/discredit sleepy joe by committing him to an unachievable timeline assuming trump wasn’t able to retake the presidency by manipulation or force on Jan 6.

The other play was to hand his buddy Erik Prince the taxpayer funded contract to privatize the extremely lucrative war in Afghanistan.

Peter Theil and Erik Prince are drinking buddies.

Prince also had ambitions in Ukraine.

https://time.com/6076035/erik-prince-ukraine-private-army/

~2008 Prince learned just how hard it was to muster a last minute air force and it’s associated spare parts supply chain when the decision was made to supply the Afghan National Army and Police with Russian made Mi-17 helicopters instead of US/Boeing made MD500’s.

It was a logistics and ITAR nightmare that necessitated that Prince function as a cutout for the US government and many new Russian/mercenary relationships were solidified.

https://www.crikey.com.au/2019/12/04/29-leaks-data-drop/

This in turn led Prince to begin building his own C.O.T.S Air Force based on the globally ubiquitous Air Tractor in both a C.A.S (close air support) and I.S.R. (Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) Version.

https://theintercept.com/2016/04/11/blackwater-founder-erik-prince-drive-to-build-private-air-force/

Prince also had the security contract with the Saudis (whom trump was also laundering money for) to use these for the Ip3 nuclear plants that trump, Kushner and Flynn stole the plans for on Jan 6.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/trump-barrack-saudi-nuclear-deal-ip3

https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-dark-truth-about-blackwater/

Trumps closed door meeting with the Taliban at camp David makes a lot more sense when you realize that he has been laundering money for the Russians since the 80’s (Russia was still an invading force in Afghanistan in 89) and was beholden to them and the Saudis both.

Every US soldier in Afghanistan and every Afghan was set up to fail by a kleptocracy long before any of these recent plans were made. It’s just that the whole point of the game of hot potato is to make someone else get left holding the shit nobody wants.

https://iai.tv/video/general-david-petraeus-on-ukraine-israel-and-the-future-of-war?utm_source=reddit&_auid=2020

It’s usually the guy at the top of the working class and just below the ruling class that absorbs the bullshit narrative from above and passes it on to the people below because he trusts management and doesn’t realize that psychopathy migrates up to positions of power specifically for exactly that reason.

Erik Princes sister is Betsy DeVos who has systematically destroyed the U.S. department of education for the same reason.

Project 2025 is just the inbred child of their collective psychopathy designed to privatize U.S. resources and recreate a bigger version of soviet perestroika.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CA4JbsosMf0

When you rewind and see the formation of mega group in the early 80’s and how Bronfman went to Russia to put most of the kleptocracy parts into play even before the Soviet Union broke down it resets the starting point of the timeline back almost a century.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2UJpzidtrNo&feature=youtu.be

You start seeing Roy Cohn and Rupert Murdoch just playing Reagan like a fiddle as he devolved into dementia. The fairness doctrine was the technical workaround that allows Rupert Murdoch as a non U.S.citizen to get a FCC license for Fox “entertainment” news. Murdoch was another member of Mega group.

https://trumpfile.org/fairness-doctrine/

And how a sunset clause on octogenarian politicians would have stopped 80% of this.

But by default it also shows just how ruthlessly vigilant the Russians were at executing their bigger play against the US even while the USSR was coming apart at the seams.

The Israel relationship, AIPAC capex, mega group, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and even Panama.

It all went both ways with the Russians.

And considering what a sensitive subject the red army failing in Afghanistan was to them (Charlie Wilson’s war) you start to see Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan as different fronts of the same war drawn out over a century.

Same with Gaddafi/Libya, saddam/iraq, and Assad/Syria.

They all got Russian weapons and support through it all which was basically just draining the US who tried to go in and John Wayne/ world police the humanitarian crisis’s

As long as you don’t care about a little casual genocide to pump a play and drain some American dollars it’s just another Tuesday for the Russians.

They just used Israel to play the in-between and drained some more cream off the American taxpayer on the way past

You can backtrack that in parallel through aeronautic espionage and the Gen 4-5 fighter jet developments that are given to Israel and follow the advanced stolen tech through Russian and Chinese own jet development programs

Fucking hell. Just learned about YGIFS. Seems like as good a thread as any in CR for this. I guess now it’s up to me to do all the drugs and detonate an abandoned building when the dotard dies. 
 

Good night sweet prince. You will be missed.

It will be interesting to see which of YGIF’s prognostications come to fruition.

We will print out whichever one comes and leave it at his grave.

South America attracts a certain kind of white person who feels the need to leave their home country....kind of like a rat following a line.
