Show proof that Trump is "whitewashing" history. Come on, show me facts. You know who whitewashes? CNN MSNBC and the like when they alter stories, edit videos, misquote all to push a narrative which can be proved by watching non biased media that report the whole unedited story.

Now, put up or shut up. Show me facts that Trump is whitewashing history.

Guess memory hole is *****.. Liberals remove statues and rock for establishment and government. Hollywood liberals white washed stories.

There again is the problem with talking to you and people like you. That means to YOU they don't deserve additional compensation. I don't think like you and never said they don't deserve additional compensation. You know... Like the hazard pay they most likely got. Or what else do they call it... combat pay.

YOU said they should not get compensated for the harm caused to them by the burn pits as they knew the risks of the job.

If your posts didn't express your opinion clearly, and you actually think the veterans should be fairly compensated for their injuries, go ahead and say that. It'll clear up all confusion.

"Do you think Military Service is a 9 - 5 office job???? There are risk, they know the risk, they accepted the risk. They were compensated for said risk via PAYCHECKS. They got medical benefits before and after service."

I said this. Nothing more, nothing less. No hidden meanings. Just this. If you are confused having a normal conversation then the problem is you.

TrumpCo pulled this page? That rascally rabbit.

Two possibilities:
1) It never happened, and everyone who reported on it was mistaken
2) It happened, and the swift backlash resulted in it being corrected
Which one are you going with?



(Hint. The Defense Department admitted to doing it, and then restoring it back to what it should be)

That tapdances around the situation without speaking to the situation. Kind of like a politician.

Are you of the opinion that the veterans who were injured permanently by these burn pits do not deserve compensation for what the burn pits did to them, because they already got paid their regular salary, and they get the same medical coverage that other veterans get?

Or do you think they should be compensated fairly above and beyond their salary, for a lifetime of suffering they will endure?

Again I refer you to hazard pay or combat pay.

Considering how well that truck took the explosion...other manufacturers needs to make similar "cheaply built pos"

Other manufacturers need to make vehicles that fall apart by themselves? lol.

Anything that doesn't improve combat effectiveness should be eliminated...

So don't teach history? Yeah....smart thinking....

You should have been around when he said the veterans harmed by the burn pits didn't deserve compensation because they signed up for the job and knew the risks.

The same guy who got a big payout for being "injured" on a government job site.

Not very patriotic.....but the MAGA cult worships a dictator.....so it's not surprising.

Neither is hiding behind a computer talking shit about the sitting president because the vote didn't go your way.

How does the Tuskegee airman's history enhance combat effectiveness?
