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.....when it is compared to the death of others recently in the news?
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 killed in Vietnam and George W. Bush attended the funeral of Lieutenant General Timothy Maude, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks.
While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was golfing. The vice president wasn't there either. Neither was the secretary of defense. Flags were not even lowered to half staff.https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../obamas-silence...
Four days after Harold Greene gave his life for America, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown was at best a 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! Obama would not 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 drug overdose, Obama ordered all flags be flown at half mast.
There was no White House delegation at the funeral of an American hero. 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 the only difference between Obama and Hillary is that she doesn't play golf.
The proof is everywhere for anyone willing to look.
My father & mother are buried at Arlington. Obama has soiled the ground every time he has set foot on the premises. Fortunately, he has no more Memorial Day observances to ruin or disrespect to dish out to the honored dead. Will be satisfied if he never appears at a national cemetery again. Hillary is equally bad. Can’t see her laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns...probably couldn’t do so without keeling over.
MILITARY?? Hell, the SOB hates the ENTIRE COUNTRY! And anyone who STILL doesn’t grasp that FACT should GET THE HELL OUT BEFORE 11/8!!!!
But when Whitney Houston died from drug overdose, Obama ordered all flags be flown at half mast.
Priorities, and this dirtbag obammys is harm to America.
Hey America, over your pathetic white guilt crappola YET?
“But when Whitney Houston died from drug overdose, Obama ordered all flags be flown at half mast.”
I don’t know about Whitney Houston, but obama sure did have our flags flown at half staff for 30 days when Nelson Mandela died, however absolutely nothing when Margaret Thatcher of Britain died. Very telling in my opinion. I agree, obama hates all of the U.S.of A and for sure all the military.
I used to do merchandise for the branches of the military before I was taxed out of business. Here was the last straw, the oshiitteehead administration started charging $1,000 for each branch emblem. In other words if you did a pencil sharpener with the Eagle,Globe and Anchor (Marine Corps ) you have to pay for the use of that emblem. OUR EMBLEM. This pissed me off so much I told them to go EFF themselves and said I would sell it at flea markets and I will not pay taxes.
I have been trying to get retired Marines like Hunter to help bring this to the attention of someone but no one responds. And I sent a case of Marine dogs to him and got nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Our military hates him too. He can go to hell.
