Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, criticizing the Draft-Dodging-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Former-President,
after a report surface that he tried to bar a severely wounded veteran from
public appearances during his presidency:
“It’s just the latest in a pattern of outrageous attacks on the
people who keep this country safe. And September puts me in a reflective mood
because it’s actually tomorrow, nine years ago now, that I got back to South
bend after my one tour in Afghanistan. I served with people who did
five, six, seven tours, some of them after being injured. I served with a guy
who had the fin of a rocket go through his triceps … and miraculously the
rocket didn’t blow up and kill him. And he was eager to get back onto his next
tour … I ran into someone I served with who basically had her leg shot off ... and she said to me that the Navy fixed her up just fine and
she went right on into her next assignment. These are the kinds of people who
deserve respect and a helluva lot more than that from every American and
definitely from every American president. And the idea that an American
president, the person to whom service members look as a commander in chief, the
person who sets the tone for this entire country, could think that way or act
that way or talk that way about anyone in uniform, and certainly about those
who put their bodies on the line and sacrificed in ways that most Americans
will never understand … I guess wounded veterans make [him] feel uncomfortable
… But those are exactly the kind of people we should lift up because their
commitment could help unify the country.
And we need voices, whether it’s ordinary people, servicemembers or political
leaders who are interested in unifying not dividing Americans.”
General Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of
staff, claims Thing 45 was irritated after Luis Avila—who lost a leg and
suffered brain damage after an IED attack in Afghanistan—sang at Milley’s
2019 welcome ceremony:
“Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see
that, the wounded.”
In 2020, it was reported that Inmate
# P01135809 said the Aisne-Marne American cemetery in France—where more
than 2,000 American military members France are buried –was “filled with
suckers” and that the more than 1,800 marines who died at Belleau Wood, a key WWI
battle, were also “suckers” for getting killed.
The Inmate denied the allegations but cannot deny that, in
2015, he claimed that John McCain, the late US senator and navy veteran who
spent nearly six years in a Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp, was a “loser”, adding:
“He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was
captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”
This from a man who never served because his feet hurt.
PS Pete for president!
