Bone Spur is an unmitigated douchebag. He has always denigrated military service and those who serve.

'God Help Us'; Former Chief of Staff Says Trump Insulted Wounded Soldiers, Called Dead Soldiers 'Suckers'.
Former chief of staff says Trump insulted wounded, dead soldiers
“God help us,” Kelly wrote in a statement to CNN.
ny1.com
“What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly wrote in a statement to CNN anchor Jake Tapper. “A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family — for all Gold Star families — on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.”
Kelly’s statement backed up years of reporting in outlets like The Atlantic and books by New Yorker and New York Times journalists. One story, reported by The Atlantic in 2020, described an incident in 2018 when Trump, while visiting France, said he didn’t want to visit the graves of American soldiers buried outside Paris because they were ‘losers.’ Kelly’s statement confirmed the reporting on Monday.
“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers,” Trump reportedly said according to The Atlantic, later calling the 1,800 Marines killed during the bloody Battle of Belleau Wood “suckers” for dying in action. Before serving in the Trump administration, Kelly was a general in the Marine Corps. The Battle of Belleau Wood is considered to be a foundational chapter in Marine mythology.

Veteran of Foreign Wars Chief Slams Trump For 'Asinine' Dismissal of Medal of Honor.
www.rawstory.com
The national commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars on Friday denounced former President Donald Trump's comments that appeared to demean Medal of Honor recipients.
"On Thursday, former President Donald Trump spoke at an event where he made some flippant remarks about the Medal of Honor and the heroes who have received it," Al Lipphardt said in a statement. "These asinine comments not only diminish the significance of our nation’s highest award for valor, but also crassly characterizes the sacrifices of those who have risked their lives above and beyond the call of duty."
"When a candidate to serve as our military's commander-in-chief so brazenly dismisses the valor and reverence symbolized by the Medal of Honor and those who have earned it, I must question whether they would discharge their responsibilities to our men and women in uniform with the seriousness and discernment necessary for such a powerful position," Lipphardt said. "It is even more disappointing when these comments come from a man who already served in this noble office and should frankly already know better."

Personally I simply dont care about the Medal of Freedom as the politicians have fucked it up. Handing it out to political buddies.
It was intended to be for SELFLESS Acts of Courage, or jaw dropping inventions that have helped humanity. The list has too many names that are a joke.
A fireman who saves 20 people running threw blazes at great risk of his life...Id cheer, De Niro??? Al Gore.....LMAO

Trump Says Medal He Gave Billionaire Donor ‘Much Better’ Than Military Medal of Honor
Trump made the disparaging comment during an event at his New Jersey golf club — his latest in a documented pattern of insulting service members and veteranswww.yahoo.com
According to trump, his billionaire donor who got the the Medal of Freedom received a better award than the soldiers that received the Medal of Honor. Here is a direct quote from Trump:
“I watched Sheldon sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” Trump said on Thursday evening. “That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump added, referring to the highest military honor given for valor in combat.
“But civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead,” Trump continued. “She gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman, and they’re rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she got it for — and that’s through committees and everything else.”
What kind of sick **** even thinks about saying something like this?

He’s quite the asshole that Trump.
Trump has been a POS for years.
www.reuters.com › article › worldTrump cancels WW1 memorial at U.S. cemetery in France due to rain
Nov 10, 2018 · PARIS (Reuters) - President Donald Trump could not attend a commemoration in France for U.S. soldiers and marines killed during World War One on Saturday because rain made it
The others didn't have an issue.
Despite the light rain, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel held a moving ceremony in Compiegne, northeast of Paris, to mark the 100th anniversary of the signing of the World War One armistice.
Trump wouldn't even do that.
Remember what Obama said about the Medal of Honor?
He was in awe of those men...humbled by their courage and sacrifice.

That's quite sad. I loved my dad. The MOF would have been a much much BETTER medal, no question, hands down. But I'm not filled with hate like you, so I can't speculate on your familial relationship

Paine died a natural death , but wasting good rope or contributing significantly to carbon emissions is imprudent at this time.
