As men and women who are serving or have served America in the six branches of service or in the Reserves or in the National Guard, “Supportanddefendsociety.com” reaches out to it’s brothers and sisters all of whom have taken the oath to “Support and Defend” our Constitution. We are in a national crisis.
If you are hearing this for the first time, prepare yourself for a shock. Remember General Mark Milley, our four-star general who was Chief of Staff of the Army and was Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Nation’s highest ranking military officer. Who would have the colossal nerve to call him a “traitor who should be shot?” Only one person would dare to do that. It was Donald Trump, who never served a day in the military and was accused of being a draft dodger with a phony heel spur claim. (Read all about it in “Supportanddefendsociety.com…. Questions We Need to Ask.” April 15, 2024.) We’ve never seen an x ray confirming any heel spurs on Donald Trump!
What did General Milley say after that stunning insult from then President Trump? He said that Trump is a “wannabe dictator.” Believe it! General Milley is telling us the truth! Trump IS a wannabe dictator. He certainly disrespects the military service!
What brought us to issue this extra article? Mr. Trump, as President, awarded Mrs. Miriam Adelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom and had the unmitigated gall to publicly state that her medal was the equivalent and “much better” than the Medal of Honor and that they are “rated as equal.” Don’t forget that this is the same guy that said that our World War II heroes were “fools and suckers.”
Mr. Trump refused to visit the Aisne-Marne American Military Cemetery near Paris as well as the World War I Marine battlefield where 1800 marines are buried saying: “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s full of suckers and losers.”
Trump said that our war hero John McCain who spent over five years in a Vietnam prison after being shot down, was a “loser.”
Trump offended gold star families who lost their sons in combat. After insulting Khizr Khan’s wife, Mr. Khan said that Trump had “the soul of a coward.”
Mr. Trump told another gold star mother that her son” knew what he was getting into.”
Trump didn’t want our war wounded to march in parades because seeing them would not be pleasant for the public.
Have you ever seen pictures of him visiting the wounded at Walter Reed Hospital?
Do you really think that the Freedom Medal is much better than the Medal of Honor? Who is he kidding?
Was the Medal of Freedom designed to compete with the Medal of Honor? We don’t think so. The Presidential Medal of Freedom was created in 1963 and was designed to recognize service to humanity. Ronald Reagan gave it to Mother Teresa. Bill Clinton gave it to Rosa Parks. The Medal of Honor is a military recognition of Valor beyond the call of duty, in combat!
Don’t blame poor Mrs. Adelson for Trump’s crass stupidity. She is a Jewish philanthropist, and we need more Americans to be like that. Jewish philanthropy is great. The Pritzker family has endowed the University of Chicago, but as an aside, Mrs. Adelson and her late husband also gave over FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS to Trump’s political campaign and to the Republican Party. That should explain why she received the medal.
Who else received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump? For a starter there’s his CEO of Trump Media, Devin Nunes, who is a political crony of Trump’s. There’s Jim Jordan, another congressional political brawler pal who is also an election denier and is trying to impeach our sitting President. Then there is Rush Limbaugh, another now deceased, pro Trump political radio commentator, a Trump crony who coined the word “feminazi.” All of these recipients of this prestigious medal received the award NOT for its original purpose, for serving society, but got it for what they did and are doing to help Donald Trump personally and politically.
What about the Medal of Honor? If you want to see a four-star general salute a corporal, look at the corporal’s chest and you will probably see the Medal of Honor. That’s right. We all salute the Medal of Honor warriors who receive their award for Valor in combat, not for being election deniers and giving money to Trump! The Medal of Honor was created in 1861 for military Valor in combat with the enemy, risking or giving one’s life for our country. It is far, far more meaningful than the Freedom Medal, which Trump personally improperly corrupted and uses as a perk for his fawning political cronies.
Here’s an example. Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez received the Medal of Honor because he fought and saved lives bringing wounded to a helicopter while under enemy fire and received thirty-seven bullet wounds and still engaged in hand to hand fighting to save additional wounded while receiving puncture wounds from bayonets. And Trump had the audacity to compare this Medal of Honor for patriotic self-sacrifice to the Freedom Medal, finding it on the same level or lower than his Freedom Medal, which he has twisted and uses as payment for personal and political favors!
President Truman said that he would rather get the Medal of Honor than be President. Some people do not WANT the Medal of Freedom from Trump.
Football Coach Bill Belichick turned down the Medal of Freedom from President Trump after Trump’s supporters attacked the Capitol Building on January 6th. Dolly Partin also turned Trump down.
Enough! Clearly, Trump believes that “winners in life are those that put themselves before all.” Trump, who never served a day, is totally disrespectful of the military, of our war heroes, of the bravery and self-sacrifices made and being made by our servicemen and women for our country. He is admittedly, totally self-centered, ego driven and is incompetent, uncaring and outright dangerous. He despises you!
To vote for him is to condone his outrageous insults to all our military patriots who served, sacrificed and died for our country!
GOD BLESS OUR WAR HEROES AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
