Trump doesn't show up = "Trump hates the military!"

Trump shows up = "Trump is just using it for a photo op!"

No surprise.

Anyone who has visited Section 60 knows how much of a no-no this is.

Oh BS. This was a wreath laying event attended by the Old Guard with full media credentials.

"Regardless of how you feel about President Donald Trump, it doesn't matter. He's still the one that showed up today at Arlington National Cemetery and took the time to partake in a ceremonious memorial commemorating the 13 Americans murdered that day in Kabul, Afghanistan. He is still the only one that showed up to take the time and talk with the families and friends there, myself included." - Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews.

I'm not a big Trump fan, but the criticism of his attendance and being photographed is complete horse crap. Even if his campaign did not take photos, do you really think no photos or video were going to be taken?

You don't think Kamala had the chance to do it? Whoever is advising you is failing.
What pressing engagement did Harris have the was more important than attending this event? Lunch with a sorority?

If Trump were still President, then a solemn event related to Abbey Gate would not be needed.

As always, Americans are expendable when Democrats are kissing Islamo-Nazi ass.

The family of the Green Beret whose grave was used in the Trump video isn't happy. The Army employee who was involved has declined to press charges.

If you think the bigger scandal is Trump taking photos in front of military tombstones, and not that Biden's incompetence got thirteen Marines killed and then proceeded to be rude to their grieving families on the tarmac at Dover, while the remains are literally arriving, then to the family's face insert his son Beau, in contrast to their loved ones that Biden first hand was responsible for their deaths, then by all means please get your head examined.

The 13 family's video statement is pretty incredible, back at Kamala:
Quote:
Darin Hoover, the father of Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover; Coral Doolittle, the mother of Marine Corps Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez; Jaclyn, and Mark Schmitz, the mother and father of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz; Steve Nikoui, the father of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui; Jim McCollum, the father of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum; Herman Lopez, father of Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez; and Christy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole Gee criticized a statement from Harris in videos released by former President Donald Trump on Truth Social.
In the videos, the families praised Trump as having treated them with "the utmost respect, compassion, and understanding," and as someone who has "taken the time" to listen to the families' "stories" and help the families "get some accountability" from the Biden administration. The families criticized Harris for "playing politics" and issuing a "heinous, vile and disgusting" statement that was a "political spin" to help her look better.

"Kamala, we have been treated with the utmost respect, compassion, and understanding by President Trump, something you and Joe Biden have refused to do since August 26, 2021," Hoover said in his video. "Where were you and Joe Biden on August 26, 2024? Nowhere near Arlington Cemetery. You couldn't be bothered to be with us or even say our kid's names, just as you had done for the last three years. Neither one of you have called to speak with us or share in our grief. I wonder Kamala, do you sleep at night securely in your bed or do you have nightmares of our kids because it was your incompetence and negligence that got our kids murdered? It is you who sent out messages on social media that are outright lies. It is you that has disrespected our families. It is you who knows nothing about service and sacrifice. It is you that has divided this country. And, it is you who is unfit to be the commander-in-chief. These are the only memories we get to make with our son. And, it is you who is playing politics and trying to detract from our memories made that day."

The videos from the Gold Star families come after Harris criticized Trump in a post on X for filming during his visit to Arlington National Cemetery on Monday to honor the 13 U.S. fallen servicemembers and take part in a wreath-laying ceremony.

Ton Cotton who served in the Old Guard lays down what the actual rules are and gives his opinion on this BS manufactured controversy and explains that the Old Guard is always there whether it's a ceremony or not.

That photo breaks my heart. 18 year old me would have said, "Dangers of the job" because I served in the Marines and "couldn't be killed".

Much older me thinks of a life time of trauma those young people have to endure. May God Bless those willing to stand on a wall.

Trump is dominating on this issue, imho. Biden Harris flew back (to the other side of the globe) around a hundred thousand Afghans (99 percent plus want sharia law) just since the surrender/disaster.



Islam, let alone afghani adherents, doesn't work in a constitutional republic such as the USA.

Trying to dunk on Trump by way of Gold Star families might just end Kamala. All at the same time American hostages are being found dead….

This has legs and Trump is going to clobber her with it.

I guess this was fine because he (a) had a mask on, and (b) was surely at the site of the grave of his son who died storming Utah beach.

(Oh, and because (D).)

That's what the families said as soon as the Marxists started whining that Trump was helping the families of soldiers they killed.

How is this still a story?

None of this will matter. Digital votes that appear out of nowhere live KH and what's his name for VP.

You obviously don't have a clue to the magnitude of the task of a strategic withdrawal from a country that has been occupied for decades. He had started the process and had the trip numbers down to the minimum required to complete the withdrawal and still maintaining Bagram. As part of the USTaliban deal, Trump agreed to an initial reduction of US forces from 13,000 to 8,600 troops by July 2020, which he met, followed by a complete withdrawal with the exception of Bagram, leaving 2500 troops there, by 1 May 2021, if the Taliban kept its commitment to not attack US forces. Biden took over in January 2021 and you witnessed the chaos that followed with their botched attempt to pull out on a different schedule.
