You don’t use dead American soldiers as political props.

That’s it. Period. It doesn’t matter what your viewpoint or position. You don’t use dead soldiers as props in any kind of political theatre.

It is entirely appropriate for the President to attend the return of our fallen soldiers.

Absolutely.
If my son (who's preparing for his second tour) should be killed, I'd be honored to have the President (regardless of who he or she may be) pay their respect.

My prayers, and respects to both you & your son.

My son, my Marine is set to go over in February(first tour). I am struggling with the emotions that tomorrow will bring.

[frankenMonkey]

Well, hang in there!
It can be a lot harder on the family...
By the way, I don’t know if Marines can have cell phones, but I got one from Telestial.com for my son, and it worked great from his “area of operations.”

My son will be going over there for his 4th tour next month. If something happened to him traceable to the residents incompetence or his anti-win policies I would not want the guy anywhere near my boy. If the cause was “normal war” then official recognition would not be unwelcome.

This is a poor substitute for actual wartime leadership. But it’s close enough for Democrat work.
