WELCOME TO RIVER DAVES PLACE

BNAG

Just came out that Hegseth not only admitted his group was in the wrong, but also pinned a commendation on the soldier for holding the standards.

That's pretty cool. The soldier that reprimanded the head of the military, was then honored by the same. I was pissed at Hegseth yesterday, but he did the right thing this morning.

While nobody's going to be perfect all of the time, it's the follow through of trying to do right that helps better them thereafter. :)
 
It’s amazing how memorials have become a hang out spot almost like a social setting both in America and Europe.

You would think there’s a level of decorum in a grave yard or a church for that matter.

Visited a ton of ancient churches in Europe a few months back and people being asked not to film or the staff constantly asking men to take off their hats to show respect..

Didn't sound like Hegseth was the one laughing so why be pissed? Perhaps with women needs a lesson to learn how to be quiet, especially if it was his wife.


I've been there a few times and this does happen especially when parents don't watch their kids.
Hard to describe the feeling when you are there.

Was at the Normandy American cemetery on June 06 of all days. Lots of people, lots of soldiers, lots of small ceremonies. This lady in her 40s took her shoes off and walked into a fountain for a picture. She was very insistent about it and we'll say it didn't go how she figured it would.

Churches with hats, flashes on cameras, people with calls on speakerphone. Some of the things I've seen people do in concentration camps, you just have walk away.
 
The tour guides for the USS Arizona Memorial give the reminder before going to the monument that it's the final resting place for about 1,000 soldiers and solemnity is not only expected but also required. Glad Hegseth owned it, it was the right thing to do. Same with the soldier, it would have been very disappointing if he didn't call them out.
 
He later did the right thing but why would he and the group been so stupid on veteran days of all days?
have a few in the Army and Air Force and they still describe a fucked up system for the average person serving our country.
Both are officers so they even see the top brass getting everything and they get terrible on base housing, outdated computers, and no spare parts so they don't fly.
Understand the larger an organization you have the more problems exists. The corruption among the large defense contractors and top brass is rampant and with all of the internal oversite groups in the government gutted they watchdogs are gone.

No, you don't. This is why they do it. No one corrects them. You don't need to be rude when correcting them, but they should be corrected.

Was it "him" or someone in his party?
What did Hegseth do immediately after the laughter?
You can't tell from the video so how would you know?

There’s a reason slap a jap day existed there….The amount of giggling young Japanese tourists with their camera’s capturing their handiwork is infuriating if you are unlucky enough to experience it.

My great grand uncle (I think that’s the correct term) is entombed on the ship.

In certain situations, I agree.
Others, self preservation talks me out of righteousness.

August 2009. Charles Bridge. Bridge had repairs going on so it was little path across. Get to the bottle neck and there is a guy face down on a rug, holding up traffic.

How do you deal with that?
I had ideas but knew it was not for the best.
