A Man named Harold; and a President named Barack.
This summarizes how most liberals view the US military:
Harold was a bright child. He grew up in America. He went to school
and had a bright future ahead of him. Harold was full of life but was
cut short in a violent moment. While few people had ever heard of
Harold before his death, many did afterward. And in death, something
very shocking happened. What was so shocking?
Harold was Harold Greene, Major General, United States Army.
On Aug. 5, 2014, Major General Greene was killed by a Taliban terrorist.
He was returned to America with full military honors.
It has been a tradition that the president attends the funeral of
General and Flag officers killed in the line of duty.
Richard Nixon attended the funeral of a Major General Casey killed in
Vietnam, and George W. Bush attended the funeral of Lieutenant General
Timothy Maude, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks.
When Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was golfing. The
Vice President wasn't at the funeral either. Neither was the Secretary of
Defense.
Flags were not even lowered half-mast.
Four days after Harold Greene gave his life for America, Michael
Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri.
Brown was at best a young thug. In the minutes before his death, he
committed a robbery at a local convenience store. According to other
reports, Brown struck Officer Darren Wilson and shattered his orbital
bone. Obama sent a three-person delegation to Brown's funeral!
Neither Obama nor Biden would attend the funeral of the highest
ranking military officer killed in the line of duty since 9/11, yet he
sent a delegation to the funeral of a thug.
When Margaret Thatcher (one of America's staunchest allies and Ronald
Reagan's partner in bringing down Soviet communism) died, Obama sent
only a small low-level delegation to her funeral. The snub was not
missed by the British.
When Chris Kyle, the most lethal American sniper in history, was
murdered, there was no expression of sympathy from the White House.
But when Whitney Houston died from a drug overdose, the Obama/Biden
administration ordered all flags be flown at half-mast.
American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course.
A thug dies and he gets a White House delegation.
No wonder most "REAL" Americans hold Obama in such contempt,
especially members of our Military.
And Biden is now expounding on how great the Obama/Biden
administration was !
