A Veteran Named Harold, A President Named Barack

This summarizes how most liberals view the US military:

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 Casey killed in Vietnam and George W. Bush attended the funeral of Lieutenant General Timothy Maude, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks. (Byron York did a "mea culpa" after further research about Nixon ever going to M.J. Casey's funeral.)

While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was golfing.  The Vice President wasn't there either.  Only the Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel attended.

Flags were not even lowered half-mast.

Four days after Harold Greene gave his life for America, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri.

Brown was at best a young 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!

Neither Obama nor Biden would 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, the Obama/Biden administration ordered all flags be flown at half-mast. (Sadly, and understandably, this is a mixed bag of truths & falsehoods. Go here for details on this and read just below the side-by-side of Kyle & Houston.)

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.

No wonder most "REAL" Americans hold Obama in such contempt, especially members of our Military.

To be fair, Snopes.com provides detail information about this issue here and how the misinformation about Gen. Greene originated. While there are inaccuracies in this story, this supports the general view by many of the divisiveness Pres. Obama pushed on the nation during his two terms.

And Biden is now expounding on how great the Obama/Biden administration was.

Stand up for the "Harolds" in America.
