WASHINGTON/NEW YORK
President-elect Donald Trump
denounced Americans who
protested against his election
and hours later praised them
on Friday, Nov. 11, underscoring
contradictions that have raised
questions about his leadership
style.
Love the fact that the small
groups of protesters last night
have passion for our great country. We will all come together
and be proud! Trump tweeted
early on Friday.

He worked on a missile
site as a maintenance
specialist near Seoul
where they were
supposed to defend
the city from northern
infiltrators. While most
of the fighting took
place near the dividing
lines between the two
countries, there was
action further south. The
North Koreans bombed
three trains while he was
there. About a month
after he arrived the
troops were put on red
alert in 1966. In total, 22
Americans died during
his deployment and 54
more were injured.
In my case, like I
always say, I slept with
one eye open for 13
months, he said. I had
no sleep. I had no sleep.
It was tense.
George learned about
the world very quickly
during the war. Having
grown up in rural North
Dakota surrounded
mostly by people of
eastern European
descent, he was tossed
into barracks with
Americans from all
different backgrounds
from the Louisiana boys
with French Canadian
ancestry to the African
American men. His best
friend was a 26-year old
black man who slept on
the bunk above him and
acted as his mentor.
The military proved to
be a great fit for George,
something that he would
have seriously considered
as a career but he had
his fianc back home to
get back to.
It fit me, or I fit the
military. I still do. I get
accused of that, he said.
The troops had heard
about the Vietnam War
protests back home, but
they were unprepared
for the magnitude of
protesters awaiting
them. The troops flew
back into Seattle where
they got their first
taste of the protesters.
He then flew alone to
Minneapolis where the
crowd of protesters was
so large airport security
ushered him into a bar
in a private section of
the airport to wait for
his flight before ushering
him onto his next
destination.
I called my wife-to-be
and said, Bring civilian
clothes, and I took them
off then and havent
put them on since. Fifty
years, he said.
Growing up he had
professor of political science at the school. I suspect that protests, especially on college campuses, will be a more or less
permanent feature of his
presidency.
With the country evenly
divided, many voters were
shocked by the result
given that opinion polls
failed to predict Trumps
triumph. The Republican
Party also managed to
maintain its majorities in
both houses of Congress
in Tuesdays vote.
Pledge of resistance
More
anti-Trump
demonstrations
were
planned for the weekend in cities including
New York and Los Angeles, and a group calling
itself #NotMyPresident
scheduled an anti-Trump
rally for Washington on
Jan. 20, Inauguration
Day, when the New York
real-estate developer formally succeeds President
Barack Obama.
Thursdays gatherings
were generally smaller
a nice community.
George always notes the
significance of giving
back rather than just
accepting ones good
fortune in being an
American, Marty said.
In South Korea George
learned the further
importance of the flag.
They raised it every
morning, said the pledge
every morning and
the American flag flew
higher than the South
Korean.
We understand what
that flag means, he said.
You have to be in the
military to understand
the military. And we all
say that and everybody
calls that a cop-out, but
it really isnt. Its the
truth.
He is a life member
of the Legion and the
Veterans of Foreign
