1. The 87 year old was a flight risk

Armed with integrity, patriotism, love of country, a military record. He’s a sucker and a loser to the leader of the Republican Party, a convicted felon and a rapist and the list of bad things roll on.

I thank Ross Fuentes for his service to our country as a Marine and a private citizen.

The Marines brought to LA were following orders but there is no doubt they were unlawful orders.

2. Draft dodger TFG's actions, let alone his previous attacks on our military are a blatant insult to all who served

Those who served deserve grateful thanks from this country, yet TFG continues to insult veterans by his personal use of active military. I can't help wondering what my grandfathers and great uncle who served in WWI, plus my father and all four uncles, though they did not serve in wartime, would think of this insult to all who are serving or served.

3. Maybe not be nice to say but

I’m glad My Father in Law did not have to suffer through a trump presidency. He lost an arm after storming Omaha Beach on D Day at 19 years old. Died in 2004. He would have turned 101 yesterday. He was quiet and soft spoken but did not have a kind word for any republicans.

My Wife is a freaking Saint. If my FIL had not survived and returned home, I would be dead or in jail right now. I often shutter at that thought.

Trump is a cancer. A sad pathetic human being. Not a day of happiness in his life.

4. Wow! My Dad met many WWII vets in college, thanks to the GI Bill

He often told stories of one roommate who lost half an arm, vertically, who was very jumpy during snowplow season here in New York. And my Dad did keep in touch with many. When my Dad got sick, that former roommate actually came to visit, brought his then wife along. There are smiling photos taken during that visit.

And I can't help but wondering what those who are serving now feel about the continuing humiliation from TFG.

5. My FIL went home to Kansas

He didn’t travel out of state much.
