@ajr425 @TokyoTom2020 Honoring our 250 year heritage with a redneck carnival??? Seriously what do motor cycle flips and pay per view fights have to do with our heritage??

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@acachilles10 @TokyoTom2020 Why do both sides constantly use the childish excuse of “but they did something worse!”?? The other side doing something bad doesn’t make whatever you do ok. Both can be bad. Grow up.

@SouthernKeeks I had no issue with it until they used the military honor guard to bring in the fighters like a carnival showcase. I’ve been part of too many honor guards burying soldiers to see it used for such tacky 💩.

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@real_defender Interesting how you “Christian Americans” would rather spend money on flashy entertainment for yourself then to care for the poor and needy. You all really missed some lessons about being both Christian and American.

@bennyjohnson Modern day colosseum energy??? You realize the colosseum games were used by Roman politicians to distract the dumb masses because they were screwing them over. Guess that is pretty appropriate!

@JD_MO @rob0349 @SaneConservati5 @ufc So we honor the history and heritage of our country with motorcycle flips and pay per view fights?? What kind of redneck 💩 is that??

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@JD_MO @SaneConservati5 @rob0349 @ufc I guess I just have a little more respect for those I’ve served with that died then to take what was done to honor them and use the same thing to hype up a pay per view show. A real marine should understand more about honoring the fallen.

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@JD_MO @SaneConservati5 @rob0349 @ufc Then what’s next? You want to install a swimming pool at the grave of the unknown soldier and have the guards there serve as lifeguards?? It’s just an additional duty right?

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@JD_MO @SaneConservati5 @rob0349 @ufc So you have no issue with the same honors being used to bury our fallen soldiers and marines to be used as a propaganda hype machine like a carnival sideshow??? Seems disrespectful to me and other vets I’ve talked to.

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@honeyybomb Why does it always have to be one or the other with you idiots?? Just because one was bad doesn’t make the other good. They can both be bad!!

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@honeyybomb How does Motorcycle flips and two guys beating each other up while you have to pay to watch honor the heritage and dignity of the last 250 years?? It doesn’t. It’s meant to entertain low-IQ masses, hence carnival. Same approach the Romans did with gladiator games.

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@JD_MO @SaneConservati5 @rob0349 @ufc They’re used at parades and sporting events for the national anthem. Not to act as an entourage for a bunch of overpaid athletes. And as a 24 year army vet I can definitely say many of us have an issue with this.

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@Ibeenthinking31 @rob0349 I’m a retired combat vet so I think I know more than a keyboard warrior like you.

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@Rafa_Mangual This is where we’re headed with idiots like this.

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@TimRunsHisMouth Why is it always one or the other with you idiots?? You know there’s lots of people that think neither should be done. You all focus so much on one upping each other you miss the reality behind things.

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@jaytawker1 @rob0349 @Eponine1973 Saying it’s so doesn’t make it a “well known fact”. Got any proof? Because just following orders like we’re supposed to doesn’t mean we like him.

[Mike Preston @MikePre15997138]

@Ibeenthinking31 @rob0349 No we won’t. Because most of us remember the purpose of the honor guard which is to provide funeral honors for fallen soldiers or to support formal ceremonies. Not to be used like part of a carnival sideshow. It’s a disgrace.
