I asked for comments from veterans who may be able to tell me if my premise here is wrong.
But, I am personally troubled by the willingness of the media to ignore what is possibly a most horrible and disgusting part of Hilary's Benghazi debacle.
For as long as I can remember, the bodies of service personnel (and some dignitaries) killed in service to our country in Europe, Africa and the Middle East have been transferred to the US Mortuary at Dover Delaware for burial preparation. This was not the case with U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith and CIA contractors, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty.
In this case single case, as part of the cover up of the Benghazi attack the Obama administration arranged for the plane transporting their bodies home to be diverted to Andrews AFB for a hastily put together "made for media" memorial in a decorated hanger. To the best of my knowledge this has never been done, not even for our astronauts killed in the Challenger disaster.
As we all know, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama personally looked the relatives of the murdered Americans in the eye and told them they would make every effort to arrest and prosecute an enigmatic video make from California whom they had chosen as their scapegoat for the crime they had committed.
Duplicity and manipulation is nothing new to Washington D.C., but this display and the conduct of Clinton, Obama and the media that aids them is, I think, one of the most sickening moments in history during my life time. As far as I can tell this was done for two reasons; 1. to catch the news cycle at an opportune time and 2. because neither Clinton nor Obama could be bothered to leave D.C. for and actual memorial service. He was entertaining some Olympic athletes later in the day and she had a paid speaking engagement the following morning to prepare for.
If my recall is amiss on KIA transfers, please correct me.
Other U.S. ambassadors that have died in the line of duty.
You could search for old news stories and see how their funerals were handled.
This was just a commie lib photo op for Soetoro and Clinton. As a vet, I got very highly pissed off reading “13 Hours In Benghazi”. Those brave men were waiting for America to come to their aid. The two liberal turds pictured below let them die. But hey! It was election season. Barry didn’t want to screw up his reelection.
Who, from The United States government, examined the bodies?
Or did Hillary and Obama keep this hushed up, too?
Was totally disgusted when this showcase was perpetrated on the families and the rest of us...
Don't recall where I heard about the empty caskets...
Nothing.
About the only time Hillary has EVER been on the right.
Just as ron brown............
What are you expecting to find?
The two guys at the CIA complex were injured/killed by mortar fire.
The State department guy died of smoke inhalation.
Stevens is the only one who died outside of US eyes.
Not to sound like Hillary, but what difference does it make? What are you “looking for?”
