To understand why Mr Obama didn't go to the funeral of General Greene, you have to understand it's not about what's right or moral, it's about him, it's about the essence of the progressive liberal agenda, the ideology of power centered in the hands of the few that dictate rules and regulations for survival, for getting by day by day while the elite few live the good life. The Royals.
If you remember your history from 1776, England was out of touch with the American way of thinking, liberty and individual freedom from overseers. Progressive socialist liberal democrats have lost the dream of the pursuit of prosperity. Life at the top is about others providing for their well being. This is similar to those at the bottom of the life cycle except they are powerless to demand obedience from the masses like the royals at the top.
It's shameless and embarrassing for our country when the world sees the leader of the free world, commanding the most powerful military in the world can't find the time to attend the passing of a two Star General in time of war.
Two star Major General Harold Greene was killed in Afghanistan on August 8, 2014 while serving his country in pride for 34 years. As of 1972, he was the highest ranking officer in the military killed in action since the Vietnam war. President Obama has not mentioned anything in regards to this highly decorated soldier yet he spoke highly of Robin Williams. He was buried August 14 in the Arlington National Cemetary. Neither the President, Vice President, Secretary of State nor Secretary of Defense attended the funeral. President Obama was on vacation, playing golf at Martha’s Vineyard. No flags were ordered to half mask yet they were for Whitney Houston. I find this very offensive and disrespectful to the veterans who have served our great country. But then again, why does this not surprise me.
Do what you want with this email but I am sending it on.

Isn't it sad when people assume the presidents historically attended the funerals of fallen soldiers. Bush didn't even attend the funeral of the general killed on 9/11, nor did Nixon attend the funeral of the last general killed while serving. Historically, it's not a very common event, but some did and they made it a 'speech moment.' Hell, both Bush's didn't even allow journalists to photograph the flag draped coffins of soldiers returning from Iraq
I'm not taking either side, I just find it ignorant to speak about something without getting some facts.
BTW, did you even bother to fact check what you copy/pasted? This fake veteran doesn't know that SecDef attended the funeral as reported by the Stars and Stripes - a publication I trust
The Afghan war is an Obama war, he said so on the campaign trail and on several other occasions. And if that isn't enough he sent more troops as a cover up for his real intentions of telling the world he really didn't mean to and will pull them all out and soon.
The Afghan war is not like other wars in the past, the enemy is new and religious. They will come here and kills if we ignore them. This is Mr Obama intention as we do not deserve to the American dream as it was stolen from others. To believer otherwise one has to be delusional.
Wow, that's neither a coherent statement or on topic.
