Yeah, he is a real class act regarding our troops on Memorial Day. President Donald Trump pardoned former U.S. Army Lieutenant Michael Behenna, who was convicted of stripping naked, torturing and then executing an unarmed Iraqi man in 2008. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

You sir, simply don't know how to read. Calling me names isn't going to change the facts.

The man did not strip naked, he was attacked by the iraqi. He also was released early from prison (2014)because prosecution withheld evidence.

Take your lies elsewhere.

I was in DC on Sunday. What a pain that motorcycle ride caused! We had to wait up to 10 minutes for a break so we could cross the street to get to the national mall. Then all the noise and the fumes... I wouldn't say it ruined our day, but it didn't help much.

One serious question, though: Why do they have do go round and round and round so many damned times? Wouldn't one or two circuits be enough and get the thing over with in half an hour? What's the point in going round and round all afternoon? How many waves and thumbs up from the crowd do you need?

That would be my reaction when my wife forces me to see an opera, why do they have to make this thing so long?

Different strokes for different folks. Looks like you do not appreciate their version of a 21 gun salute.

It costs them 200k to do the thing so I guess they were getting their money's worth. That and it being the last one probably made it extra long.

it is respecting those that gave their life so lowlifes like you have the freedom to complain without being beaten or killed.

Without "lowlifes" like me (i.e., people who can think), we'd have a country of backward ignorant hicks like you.

I'll take the country of "lowlifes," thank you.

PS: I'm genuinely sorry that riding your motorcycle around in a circle 87 straight times is necessary to achieve whatever ego gratification you seem to need.

The 21 gun salute takes 10 seconds. This took all afternoon.

They can do what they want. They want to ride around on their bikes until their gas tanks are empty; that's up to y'all, as they say. I'm not sure why DC lets them close down 5 miles of downtown streets for 4 hours on one of the heaviest tourism days of the year to do it, though.
