US Army rebukes Trump campaign for incident at Arlington National Cemetery
CNN via Yahoo ^ | August 29th, 2024 | Haley Britzky, CNN

Posted on 08/29/2024 2:39:12 PM PDT by Mariner

The US Army issued a stark rebuke of former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign over the incident on Monday at Arlington National Cemetery, saying in a statement on Thursday that participants in the ceremony “were made aware of federal laws” regarding political activity at the cemetery, and “abruptly pushed aside” an employee of the cemetery.

“Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds. An ANC employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside,” the Army spokesperson said in the statement on Thursday. Section 60 is an area in the cemetery largely reserved for the graves of those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“This incident was unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate that the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked. ANC is a national shrine to the honored dead of the Armed Forces, and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation’s fallen deserve,” the statement said.

The Army spokesperson said while the incident was reported to the police department at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, the employee in question “decided not to press charges” so the Army “considers this matter closed.”

The Pentagon received orders from the White House to rebuke Trump on this matter.

Until/unless the VFW and American Legion take issue, it's a bunch of political crap.

An army under the Biden Crime Syndicate is NOT an army that is trustable.

Sorry, but given the woke fat boy general who just retired, what else can be said.

Yes, the US Army is headed by a group of queers these days, and they will do exactly as they are told by their political masters.

This only affects those who are complete idiots and haters, who are already voting for democrats.

Anyone who actually cares to pay attention is well aware of how much President Trump respects our military, and the overwhelming majority of current and previous service members know this from his actions.

Some of the families invited Trump to attend with them so naturally while Biden sat on a beach his hit team demanded the Army to react as typical 3 year old’s.

Did they rebuke themselves for the goat rodeo of a withdrawal that caused these deaths?

Who invited them and why the WH press? All those families give consent?

Isn’t there also a Federal law that prohibits building a “calm water” pier and wasting millions in Gaza?

So we should ask the Gold Star Families who invited Trump what they were told by the US Army, who appears to be covering their own very un-honored buried service people’s family treatment by a former Commander in Chief. That’s a former Commander in Chief, of the US Army— you pukes at Arlington (civilian contractor run, demonrats who replaced a really great Director during obama-days, by fake charges of embezzling etc. iirc).

So now the US Army (shocked face-NOT!!) is playing politics under the direction of the mental defective who is lying on a beach in Delaware. And who does not give one crap about these HONORED dead which HE caused.

Every articles mentions a violation of the law, but none cite the statute, so, if it wasn’t already obvious, this is fake news made to order.
