Graeme Decarie at The Decarie Report - 8 hours ago
The news media, for the most part have treated Trump's hymn of praise for the military as a triumph. Our Heroes. It was no such thing. We've seen this appeal before. It was developed by an Adoph Hitler who was trying to create the kind of heroes he wanted for the Germany he would create. And so the army became the highest expression of German pride. I am really dismayed at the ignorance displayed by almost all of our press in not seeing this. The army becomes the model for the nation. And it's soldier's become saints. In the first place, all of Trump's history was bunk. The America... more »
