2. Yeah - Obama didn't salute sometimes.

They are fucking loons. Some are blaming the pilot or rather attacking "Lefty" for not respecting the Marine pilot of the helicopter. Can't fly in bad weather, showers, low clouds.

Such bullshit, deflection, projection. It is all they can do. Can you imagine if a Dem had been so unprepared or disrespectful???

3. All I can find on Twitter is negative opinions of his decision to not attend the visit. n/t

4. I'm not interested in RWNJ bullshit apologists for Trump

There are certain values, American values, that I respect and hold dear. My father served in the China-Burma campaign fighting Japanese imperialism. My uncle gave his life in the Battle of the Bulge fighting Nazis. Trump isn't worthy to shine their shoes or clean their latrines.

7. thanks for your input

My uncle was a prisoner of the Japanese Imperial Army after the fall of Corregidor. Nearly four years a POW, and came out weighing less than a hundred pounds and missing his leg, which was sawed off by an Army surgeon in a cave after it became gangrenous. He was wounded in the initial bombardment, when he went under fire to pull other wounded to safety. My other uncle was also at the Battle of the Bulge and suffered shell shock the rest of his life. My uncle the POW told us: Never Forget.

10. Amazing family story

I find it especially cool because I have a great uncle that was also on Corregidor, after surviving the death march he spent the entire war in Cabanatuan prison. He was ulitimately liberated during the "great raid". Another great uncle served as a tank Sargent in the Third army and took shrapnel during the Bulge...he was too afraid he'd be sent home to report the injury so he had the medic patch up his wound and he carried on. He didn't receive his Purple Heart until the mid-90's when he was having knee trouble and went for X-rays at the VA and they saw the shrapnel...a young doc there worked to get him his award.

I love reading others stories here and it is fascinating to me when so many of our stories intertwine.

12. the death march

My uncle was saved from that by losing his leg on Corregidor. Can't march with one leg. One small "blessing" for his family at home. Actually, they didn't know anything about his injury until after liberation when the Philippines were liberated.

All of that uncle's diaries and correspondence (he sent very detailed letters home prior to the occupation) have been deposited with the National Archives and belong to the American people now. It was hard for my family to relinquish possession, but knew it was the right things to do for the sake of history. I have just one postcard that he was allowed to mail home to his mother as a POW. Censored.

6. My guess for their opinion

It was right for him not to risk his life in a storm. He's the most important person on the planet. Democracy and liberty would perish if he died.
