I know it sounds great, but something tells me there is something wrong here.

He KNEW someone would see this and most likely would publicize it.

I doubt he would have done something to public at such a public place that would be so public; ie, he showed his humility by doing something so publicly?

If he did this, GREAT, however, I am not so sure he actually did this. A man of his stature would avoid the public response of it all.

Respectfully,

I think if it had been a weasely clark he would have called the media BEFORE, he would have had the media there DURING.

He would not have left them there where they might not be noticed.

Did he know the MSM might pick this up? yes absolutly. might is not a guarantee. Did he care either way? no.

I think he knew he had to do it. It was always about the Marines who lost their lives while he was their platoon commander, especially Guido, who took a bullet for him.

He retired two weeks ago. If he wanted to make sure people “KNEW” about it, it would not have taken two weeks for it to come out.

Additionally, how do you know when it was done? It could have been in the dead of night.

The link shows a photo of the card he left - signed. Also photo of the wall with photographer reflected in the wall, taking pictures of ‘some’ cards anyway. The redstate poster of this info documented as well as he could.

Also, the Park Service picks up mementoes left at the wall twice a day. So anyone leaving something would have to know that their gesture was unlikely to receive public notice.

I believe it.

The Park Service picks items up each day, and the General likely knows this. He probably assumed that the cards would be picked up at the end of the day, and Oct. 1st being a Monday, and not a holiday, figured not many would see it. It just so happens that someone was there, did see it, and decided to publicize it.

I think he did it unconspicuously, believeing that those small card, amongst so many other things that are left there, would go unnoticed and be picked up by the Park service who picks those things up a couple of times a day.

I do not believe he called ANY attention to it...I believe it was a sincere act on his behalf in memory of his fallen Vietnam War buddies and platoon members.

Nothing more or less than that. Someone happened to find the cards and publicise it. The person who found it, if I am not mistaken, does not mention seeing the General actually do it.

Race it does sound like grand standing, if this guy was sincere he would have spoken to the family in private.
