Why didn't Barron Trump sign up? Chip off the old bone spurs.

Michelangelo, thanks very much for what you’ve written about Sgt Angel Rampersad. I’m deeply moved and saddened for her, and then enraged at that man and those who he has around him. Her life and the life of her family and those close to her are so much more meaningful and beautiful than that man’s, and those Americans who support him. He has managed to bring out the worst in far too many Americans who otherwise might have a chance at their own “better angels.” What’s going to get to through them? Thanks again for putting a face and a heart on those whom we are fighting for. Thanks for your own skillful combat.

He calls us suckers and losers than has the balls to show up at a dignified transfer. All performance,and shame on the compromised and complicit media that doesn't call him out, and shame on Americans who buy this performance.

I would have turned my back to both of them when they approached. Those two POSs both belong in jail. Thank you Sgt Rampersad for giving your all to support a country which (mostly) appreciates your commitment to service. We will remember.

Interesting how the government doesn’t look twice when an immigrant signs up for the military. I guess the MAGA regime doesn’t check status if these people are offering their lives in defence of the country. How F ing hypocritical of these shnazis.

Elections where Americans don't vote have consequences.

So sad for her family's loss and for what exactly?

This is so sad to read about an amazing woman who served selflessly. Thank you for sharing her story. I’m not going to tarnish her beautiful tribute with any comment about our corrupt administration.

Rest in peace dear Sgt. Angel 💔

I honestly do not know how her family managed to stand there with Trump. l cannot imagine having the strength to remain composed in that moment. I honestly do not think I could do it..

Absurd, isn't it? The sheer hypocrisy of the prezzzident and a fox noise weekend breakfast show host drunk. My anger and loathing is getting to be unmanageable, but I go on with the intention of seeing the punishment these sorry bastards will inevitably receive. I'm sick for every family having to go through the grief of losing a daughter, son, husband, wife, brother, sister. This must end.

Thank you for your continuing beautiful writing and kind tribute to a fallen hero.

Why can’t military geniuses Trump and Hegseth figure out how to protect our service members? Sgt Rampersad and the others deserved better. May she rest in peace.

Iran not having a nuclear weapon was a BS excuse for this war, and it was never presented to the American people as a legitimate reason to go to war. This war helps Drumpf cover up the Drumpfstein files. American lives lost and the many Americans wounded will get Drumpf’s thoughts and prayers.

And republicons in Congress sit on their hands watching. Pathetic.
