My view is I hate what politicalization of solders deaths.
Any soldiers dies and the political parties blame the president of the opposition.
Party in power appoints themselves mourner in chief and unless you’re on the same page as them your not a patriot.
Families like Sheehan make their children’s death into a political stunt their son or daughter wouldn’t have wanted.
I don’t blame the family for anything at a time like this. Congress and political hacks should stay the hell out of it.
Trump, obama, Bush all got s**t from families they tried to comfort who’s sons they tried to honor.
I hope trump keeps reaching out to the families, if I had bought it in Iraq I would want W to have to listen to my ma and pa. In private W was good at taking grief from angry mothers, got to give him credit for that, even though imo W let us sacrifice for nothing by not defending his war from political attack.
There is a school of thought soldiers have about dying, part of it being choosing to be a solider defending our country during war time and not dishonoring their sacrifice by acting as if they are a victim of circumstance. Much stronger sentiment than I’d be capable of.
Out of curiosity Where the press so offended by trump honoring the dead when some d’bag Christians from some baptist church or another showed up with vile signs and screaming obscenities at the families burring their children killed in the war on terror? Government, senators, congressmen, governors, political parties, other churches didn’t do a d**n thing, free speech, you know, took a group of bikers to right a wrong. Sometimes you’ve got to love those sinners
