Even more angry with Trump re NATO comments

Yes I know he rescinded but without an apology.
I feel sick he made those comments in the first place 😡
DD joined the Royal Navy last year and we couldn’t be more prouder, God forbid she won’t see front line action but she is training to be an aircraft engineering technician for Merlin helicopters.
However do not disrespect those who have sacrificed their lives and horrifically injured.
I was humbled last year to meet a group of veterans from the charity Blesma, we were on a scuba diving holiday in Sharm el Shaikh. I was wondering how they felt reading/listening to this stupid moron. They sacrificed limbs and other terrible injuries 😢

Sorry, i know it’s nothing to do with your actual point and I really wouldn’t usually correct someone’s writing but please don’t go around saying “God forbid that she won’t see front line action.” You’re saying you desperately want her to be on the front line of a conflict. It’s just not something you should say. In case you ever say it to someone else or to her!

You mean “God willing, she won’t see front line action” or “God forbid that she sees front line action.”

I see your point and thank you for clarifying but a bit emotional about the whole thing. Just so angry about it

Anger comes but there is learning. I do not get angry i meditate and listen to music to calm me down. I am a big fan of westlife and Will young. 😂

You should go rant about it on social media!!!

I’m post menopausal so I’ve got a great excuse 😂, sorry my taste in music is different as I’m more into Foo Fighters and The Killers

I think there is a lot of anger at the tangerine toddler. His comments were deeply insulting and dismissive.

I’m with you OP. My mate did two tours of Afghanistan by age 20. It’s a disgrace to claim that they didn’t help enough. European leaders need to stop pandering to him and appeasing him, it’s pathetic how he treats them all like shit and they just pretend it’s all fine. Also… yes to The Killers 💕💕
