Default [OT] Memorial Day - USA - 2018

On the nose!

Trump has little advice to offer Naval Academy graduates

Dr. Daniel Barkhuff

In 1969, after having already been held hostage for four years, a
graduate of the United States Naval Academy faced a lonely choice in a
North Vietnamese prison camp: how to prevent his captors from using
him in a propaganda piece. James Stockdale chose to smash his own face
in with a stool rather than give aid and comfort to the enemy.

In the early years of Stockdales seven-year imprisonment, the current
president of the United States was enjoying the comforts of Wharton
Business School, having received four draft deferments to attend
college (he received another after graduation for supposedly having
bone spurs in his heels). He would later go on to make fun of POWs of
that era, claiming John McCain was not a war hero because he was
captured.

In 1972, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy named John Ripley
low-crawled and pulled himself along the underside of the Dong Ha
bridge for over three hours, making multiple trips with explosives.
His actions, all done under fire from the North Vietnamese Army,
earned him the Navy Cross for valor. In 1972, Donald Trump, who took
over his fathers apartment rental business, was a year away from
being sued by the Justice Department for refusing to rent apartments
in one of his buildings to black people.

On Sept. 11, 2001, thousands of graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy
steeled themselves for a mission to bring violence to our enemies.
After the World Trade Center Towers fell, Donald Trump bragged on TV
that a building he owned was now the tallest in downtown Manhattan.

On Feb. 1, 2003, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy named
William McCool was at the helm of the space shuttle Columbia when it
broke up during reentry. The current president was then gearing up to
become the host of a reality TV show called The Apprentice.

In late June of 2005, two USNA graduates named Erik Kristensen and
Mike McGreevy insisted on being in the lead aircraft riding into a hot
landing zone in Afghanistans Korengal Valley to come to the aid of
their wounded, outnumbered and about to be overrun team of SEALs. The
helicopter was shot down, and they and more than a dozen others lost
their lives. A few months later in that same year, the current
president of the United States was captured in a recording bragging
about assaulting women: I just start kissing them. Its like a
magnet. Just kiss. I dont even wait. And when youre a star, they let
you do it. You can do anything ... Grab em by the [crotch]. You can
do anything.

These are just a few of many examples of graduates of the U.S. Naval
Academy making big choices laden with courage and self-sacrifice that
come from a history of countless small choices: to be truthful, to
stay committed to a code of honor and duty, and to choose a harder
right over the easier wrong even if the choice is contrary to their
own short-term personal interests. These are the choices that make one
fit to lead.

Contrast this to the personal and professional honor of the sitting
president of the United States, who time and again makes small choices
guided by self-interest, ego, impulse and immediate
self-gratification. He could never do what we ask our U.S. Naval
Academy graduates to do. He is a physical coward, a liar and no leader
at all.

It is right and fitting that the president of the United States give a
commencement address to a service academys graduating class. It is
also right and fitting that citizens of the democracy for which these
graduates will soon be charged with protecting point out the personal
cowardice, narcissism and incompetency of the current president.

Those of us who have served in this nations wars owe it to our new
graduates to point out how better served we would all be if in 2020
our small choices as citizens added up to one big choice one that
will deliver us a leader whose personal choices and conduct are more
in keeping with the honorable traditions of our alma mater.

Leave it to a Progressive Liberal Leftist Commiecrat Moonbat Freak like None Brains to be so disrespectful of a national day of remembrance to use for political purposes the memory of military personnel who served the country and gave their lives in service to this country. How disrespectful of the freak to use this day to attack President Trump. I must wonder if None Brains ever served in the military or has family members like many of us do who served in the military? I find it amusing that freaks like None Brains suddenly become patriotic when they're anything but. What a disrespectful A-hole you are None Brains! O_o

In 1969, after having already been held hostage for four years, a
graduate of the United States Naval Academy faced a lonely choice in a
North Vietnamese prison camp: how to prevent his captors from using
him in a propaganda piece. James Stockdale chose to smash his own face
in with a stool rather than give aid and comfort to the enemy.

In the early years of Stockdales seven-year imprisonment, the current

In late June of 2005, two USNA graduates named Erik Kristensen and
Mike McGreevy insisted on being in the lead aircraft riding into a hot

you do it. You can do anything ... Grab em by the [crotch]. You can
do anything.

These are just a few of many examples of graduates of the U.S. Naval
Academy making big choices laden with courage and self-sacrifice that
come from a history of countless small choices: to be truthful, to
stay committed to a code of honor and duty, and to choose a harder
right over the easier wrong even if the choice is contrary to their

I find it amusing that freaks like None Brains suddenly become patriotic when they're anything but. What a disrespectful A-hole you are None Brains! O_o

Trump has little advice to offer Naval Academy graduates

Dr. Daniel Barkhuff

In 1969, after having already been held hostage for four
years, a
graduate of the United States Naval Academy faced a
lonely choice
in a North Vietnamese prison camp: how to prevent his
captors from
using him in a propaganda piece. James Stockdale chose
to smash his
own face in with a stool rather than give "aid and
comfort" to the
enemy.

In the early years of Stockdale's seven-year
imprisonment, the
current president of the United States was enjoying the
comforts of
Wharton Business School, having received four draft
deferments to
attend college (he received another after graduation for
supposedly
having bone spurs in his heels). He would later go on to
make fun
of POWs of that era, claiming John McCain was not a war
hero
because he was captured.

In 1972, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy named John
Ripley
low-crawled and pulled himself along the underside of
the Dong Ha
bridge for over three hours, making multiple trips with
explosives.
His actions, all done under fire from the North
Vietnamese Army,
earned him the Navy Cross for valor. In 1972, Donald
Trump, who took
over his father's apartment rental business, was a year
away from
being sued by the Justice Department for refusing to
rent apartments
in one of his buildings to black people.

On Sept. 11, 2001, thousands of graduates of the U.S.
Naval Academy
steeled themselves for a mission to bring violence to
our enemies.
After the World Trade Center Towers fell, Donald Trump
bragged on TV
that a building he owned was now the tallest in downtown
Manhattan.

On Feb. 1, 2003, a graduate of the United States Naval
Academy named
William McCool was at the helm of the space shuttle
Columbia when it
broke up during reentry. The current president was then
gearing up
to become the host of a reality TV show called "The
Apprentice."

In late June of 2005, two USNA graduates named Erik
Kristensen and
Mike McGreevy insisted on being in the lead aircraft
riding into a
hot landing zone in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley to
come to the
aid of their wounded, outnumbered and about to be
overrun team of
SEALs. The helicopter was shot down, and they and more
than a dozen
others lost their lives. A few months later in that same
year, the
current president of the United States was captured in a
recording
bragging about assaulting women: "I just start kissing
them. It's
like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when
you're a
star, they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab
'em by the
[crotch]. You can do anything."

These are just a few of many examples of graduates of
the U.S. Naval
Academy making big choices laden with courage and
self-sacrifice
that come from a history of countless small choices: to
be
truthful, to stay committed to a code of honor and duty,
and to
choose a harder right over the easier wrong - even if
the choice is
contrary to their own short-term personal interests.
These are the
choices that make one fit to lead.

Contrast this to the personal and professional honor of
the sitting
president of the United States, who time and again makes
small
choices guided by self-interest, ego, impulse and
immediate
self-gratification. He could never do what we ask our
U.S. Naval
Academy graduates to do. He is a physical coward, a liar
and no
leader at all.

It is right and fitting that the president of the United
States
give a commencement address to a service academy's
graduating
class. It is also right and fitting that citizens of the
democracy
for which these graduates will soon be charged with
protecting
point out the personal cowardice, narcissism and
incompetency of
the current president.

Those of us who have served in this nation's wars owe it
to our new
graduates to point out how better served we would all be
if in 2020
our small choices as citizens added up to one big
choice - one that
will deliver us a leader whose personal choices and
conduct are more
in keeping with the honorable traditions of our alma
mater.

Dr. Daniel Barkhuff ) is
president of
Veterans For Responsible Leadership, a 2001 U.S. Naval
Academy
graduate and a former Navy SEAL. William Burke is the
general
counsel for VFRL; he was also a 2001 graduate of USNA
and served as
a submariner from 2001-2006.



Leave it to a Progressive Liberal Leftist Commiecrat
Moonbat Freak
like None Brains to be so disrespectful of a national day
of
remembrance to use for political purposes the memory of
military
personnel who served the country and gave their lives in
service to
this country. How disrespectful of the freak to use this
day to
attack President Trump. I must wonder if None Brains ever
served in
the military or has family members like many of us do who
served in
the military? I find it amusing that freaks like None

suddenly become patriotic when they're anything but. What
a
disrespectful A-hole you are None Brains! O_o
