So millions of Americans are put out by the openly disgraceful act of "dismissing" the written records of those brave souls buried at Arlington Cemetary. Well, please explain why THOUSANDS of Blacks, Hispanics, and women stood in the crowds at the Trump conventions during the campaign, visible in the background at all these events, wearing the stupid red hat and cheering on the bufoon. Where was their collective brains when Trump openly insulted them, threatened to undermine their right to vote, get proper health care, affordable food and housing. Don't bitch now...it's too late!!

... from the Vietnam Memorial wall? Or at least, removed from the directory so relatives and comrades can't find their names.

C'mon Hegseth, let's drink to this idea.

If it ever comes down to it, hopefully the armed forces will remember this and deal with Trump accordingly.
