My soul hurts. Many members of my family feel the same. I think half the country feels this way.

Not understanding why there was a military honor guard there...Kirk was not a veteran.

"Not understanding why there was a military honor guard there...Kirk was not a veteran."

Maybe the CINC ordered it?

Because he was killed for defending the basic principles of his country?

Grok:

However, in rare cases, non-veterans may receive military honors if they held significant roles, such as high-ranking government officials (e.g., presidents or secretaries of defense) or civilians who made exceptional contributions to the military or nation, as determined by the Department of Defense or equivalent authority.

I don’t mind the Honor Guard. Just as I don’t mind lowering the Flag to half staff.

An American Hero should be honored.

He defended it more than some who swore an oath to. As a veteran, I am not offended nor question the move (along with the flag at half-staff).

I saw a clip of Kirk mentioning that he'd received numerous death threats. But he still stood in crowds, day after day, knowing the mindset of the left.

Charlie DID receive the Congressional of Freedom posthumously. Plus, the CiC can do whatever he wants.
