Left: President Trump insulting British and NATO troops saying they weren't on the front lines

Right: Aged 21, Liz was the youngest aircrew to deploy to Afghanistan (equivalent of the Air Ambulance), and the only female member of the crew on the Chinook helicopter for four years. Liz served 10 tours across 17 years.

"We picked up so many injured and dying American soldiers off the battlefield, it was a privilege and honor to do that, so that they may live"

"To have that dismissed by Trump was insulting"

"So many of our British soldiers, we dropped them off at the front line then went to get them back a few days later. We saw what they went through"

"Trump hasn't experienced that, he hasn't served"

[Mark Brouwer @markbrouwer2010]

I don’t think the US president will read this post, but I feel obliged to pay tribute to the dozens of Netherlands soldiers who have died in Afghanistan. Even the son of our Chief of Defense was killed in action. Because the Netherlands saw it as its duty to help an ally. Statement after statement is now flying our way across the pond. The falsehood that we were not on the front line calls for a response. As dear as the Americans are to me, nonsense must be countered.

Six years. The memories remain forever.

Vijf jaar. Alsof het gisteren was. Nog steeds ongeloof, en heel veel verdriet.

[Sander Janssen @sanderja]

Vandaag ontvingen wij het ontzettend verdrietige bericht dat onze kantoorgenoot Simeon Burmeister, omringd door zijn vrouw en de zonen waar hij zo trots op was, is overleden. Een verbinder en mensenmens zoals je ze zelden tegenkomt. Rust zacht lieve Siem, en bedankt voor alles ❤️

Judge Jill Pryor of the 11th Circuit on Alabama’s effort to execute Kenny Smith after a previous failed attempt to execute him by lethal injection: “The cost, I fear, will be Mr. Smith’s human dignity, and ours.”

[Innocence Project @innocence]

Harris County, Texas has executed more people than anywhere else in the country. In most cases resulting in a death sentence in the past 20 years, defense lawyers failed to uncover potentially life-saving evidence, a report by @wrencollective found. https://t.co/cYCr4yUSj8

I am in #Suriname for the @ICJ_org to attend the 20 Dec final verdict in the decades-long case against ex-pres Desi #Bouterse for the 1982 “December murders” of 15 political opponents. https://t.co/CDgtL3iWaG 1/3⬇️

Four years. Four very long years 🥲

These unlikely allies — families of death row prisoners' victims and people on death row themselves — want 'rightful punishment,' not execution, for those now on death row. https://t.co/uA5vCSnzvA @NOLAnews @rjamesfinn @JusticesPromise @Journey0fHope @DioceseBR @CCATDP

#HuubOosterhuis is overleden. Intens strijder voor een wereld waarin brood en liefde is, genoeg voor iedereen. Dichter die woorden gaf aan wat geloven, verlangen, liefde is waardoor velen bleven, of terugkwamen, en durfden erkennen: misschien is niets onmogelijk. Dat hij leve….

Sad news. Ben Ferencz has died at age 103. From Nuremberg to today, his was a life that touched everyone in the world of international criminal law. Ben was a giant of justice & moral clarity. Let us honour Ben’s life by continuing his work in the pursuit of Law, Not War. 💛✌🏼
