When those veterans in the ceremony served as young men during WWII...

How many of them chewed gum while standing at attention, in any type of ceremony ?

Did their commanding officers chew gum during ceremonies ?

What if any of them did chew gum during a ceremony - during WWII - what would have happened ?

Any vets from WWII want to weigh in on this ?

When you were standing at attention for inspection, could you chew gum ? Did the officer doing the inspection ever chew gum ?

What would Patton have done ?

Now we have the Commander-in-Chief chewing gum at a ceremony to honor veterans.

I took more pride marching in the high school band than the US President shows at an international combat veterans ceremony.

IMHO...

How about a comparison of the world leaders present for the D Day anniversary? Were any of them chewing gum? Did any of them have smug expressions on their faces? I can tell you NO, they did not!

I was outraged at his lack of respect.....for those present and those who died and are buried there, for the American people and the country he represents. The people who travel with him and are supposed to aid and guide him must have no more respect than he does.

How bad a reflection he is to his family and his raising. Embarrassing, classless, and disgusting!

What a lowlife scum we have as president!
