kallend 1,620 #26 September 10, 2014 Nixon did not attend the funeral of Gen. Dillard, and Bush did not attend the funeral of Gen. Maude. There is no tradition of presidential attendance at generals’ funerals that Obama disregarded. The Nixon and Bush misinformation was a deliberate falsehood (aka lie) spread by former Col. Morris Davis USAF.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mirage62 0 #27 September 11, 2014 Ok John..... Let's see there were what 3,000 people killed when Gen. Maude died (John left out that Gen. Maude was kill in 9-11 at the pentagon) But hey John right Bush wasn't there. I'm sure he was pretty busy.... But he wasn't there. Obama was pretty busy to. Yeah all the same.Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 1,620 #28 September 11, 2014 There is no tradition of presidential attendance at generals’ funerals. Or admirals', colonels', majors', captains, lieutenants', or sergeants, privates, petty officers, ensigns, seamens'....... funerals. Period! ODS is striking yet again....

However, I do think it should be part of this type of discussion. JerryBaumchen He did. Actually images and news on casualties being repatriated was very much hidden as much as possible. Contrast that with what happened in Canada, where people would stand at all highway overpasses paying their respects, which the family and casket travelled down the Highway of Heroes. Pretty clear Bush didn't want any attention brought to casualties. But, who cares about any of that. This was a general, and there is a very clear and strong tradition of the President attending those funerals. At least that is what I read on a website, so it must be true!!

Are you really that silly to think that we haven't done the same thing here? We've had two local KAI's come home to my town and the streets we're packed.

SkyDekker 1,120 #39 September 12, 2014 Yes, at a local level. I am talking about the repatriation right when landing on home soil. This means, every single one...not just dispersed locally. Again, doing so keeps attention away from the total number.. I know...silly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snopes defends any public figures against untrue accusations. The reason they spend so much time defending Obama is simply a reflection of the abnormally vast quantities of bullshit that your guys spend so much time inventing about him.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
