Obama has always hated any call on him to show respect for our troops who have died for our country. That has been evident in many different ways. Remember when he neglected to go to Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day, because he was too busy campaigning and golfing. Nor has he done anything but ignore the constant stream of troops who have been killed in Afghanistan since he took office, largely because of the onerous Rules of Engagement he has imposed on them. And he seems to take pleasure in insulting their families.
People should have got a clue when Obama refused the Pledge of Allegiance and didn’t want “that” on his lapel - a flag lapel pin.
