So I read through the comment thread before logging on and see Trump wants to pardon fookin’ war criminals on Memorial Day.

The man is intentionally undermining every shared event or idea about American patriotism.

That is a slap in the face of every active duty, reservist, and veteran living and dead who would never think to commit a war crime. That will not only undermine respect for Memorial Day, it will also undermine respect for the military in general. (I don’t mean military worship from wingnuts, I mean the idea that the military is a law abiding organisation.)

I have one combat medal. I didn’t have to engage in any war crimes.

In the veterans fora that I follow, there is outrage across the spectrum of political support over this.
