Harold was a bright child. He grew up in
America. He went to school and had a bright future ahead of him.
Harold was full of life but was cut
short in a violent moment. While few people had ever heard of Harold before his
death, many did afterward. And in death, something very shocking happened. What
was so shocking, especially when it is compared to the death of someone else
recently in the news?
Harold was Harold Greene, Major General,
United States Army. On Aug. 5, 2014, Major General Greene was killed by a
Taliban terrorist. He was returned to America with full military honors.
It has been a tradition that the
president attends the funeral of general and flag officers killed in the line
of duty. Richard Nixon attended the funeral of a major general killed in
Vietnam and George W. Bush attended the funeral of Lieutenant General Timothy
Maude, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks.
While Major General Greene was buried,
Barack Obama was golfing. The vice president wasn't there either. Neither was
the secretary of defense.
Flags were not even lowered to
half-staff.
Four days after Harold Greene gave his
life for America, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown was at
best a thug. In the minutes before his death, he committed a robbery at a local
convenience store. According to other reports, Brown struck Officer Darren
Wilson and shattered his orbital bone.
Obama sent a three-person delegation to
Brown's funeral! Obama would not attend the funeral of the highest ranking
military officer killed in the line of duty since 9/11, yet he sent a delegation to the funeral
of a thug.
When Margaret Thatcher, one of America's
staunchest allies and Ronald Reagan's partner in bringing down Soviet
communism, died, Obama sent only a small low-level delegation to her funeral.
The snub was not missed by the British.
When Chris Kyle, the most lethal
American sniper in history was murdered, there was no expression of sympathy
from the White House.
But when Whitney Houston died from drug
overdose, Obama ordered all flags be flown at half mast. And, then Cassius
Clay.
There was no White House delegation at
the funeral of an American hero. American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf
course. A thug dies and he gets a White House delegation.
This pretty much summarizes how Obama
and most liberals view the US military.
AND THEY WONDER WHY WE ARE ANGRY.
No wonder most "REAL"
Americans hold Obama in such contempt, especially members of our Military.
And the only difference between Obama
and Hillary is that she doesn't play golf.
