You mind elaborating on why you shouldn't attend the funeral as the commander in chief?

why should he, just because you were in the service doesn't mean the president should be at your funeral

For the same reason he awards medals, visits the wounded, and visits the troops.
Just because you're a punk black kid who charged a cop and ended up dead doesn't mean the president should send officials to your funeral, yet that happened.

I didn't even know this was a thing. I did over 150 funerals including 14 active duty funerals when I was on honor guard and I can count on no hands how many times the president showed up.

Did Obama Call the Families of Those Who Died in Benghazi?
Maybe. I know him and Hillary spent a lot of time in apprehending the one person responsible for 4 dead and total chaos. After all, they made a promise. They kept it by being satisfied with the one guy theory.

Obviously he can't be expected to go to them all, even if we wish they were so few that did make sense. The man was the deadliest sniper in American history, you go to the funeral. There's plenty to say about W and I hope this doesn't turn into that, but I fully believe he would have gone. Heck, Bill would have gone IMO. You would think most presidents would go to that funeral.

Tough call, IMO. I mean, the other guys died in combat so I'm not sure who fits where on the "deserves a visit" hierarchy.

I agree that's a delimma. Personally I believe they all deserve it, it's just not feasible. I'd imagine if there's any humanity and respect for ones country left in any of these people, this kind of thing would be one of the heaviest weights they carry.

What? Chris Kyle wasn't killed in combat. Is the President supposed to send a representative to attend every single veteran's funeral?

That's why, as bad as it sounds, I'd prefer the president to stay away from funerals altogether. It's inevitably politicized no matter who it is.

yea i don't get the outrage over the president - trump, obama, whomever - personally making a call/writing a letter or not. two of my uncles were killed in combat and both grandpa's died of natural causes but served in wwii. all received a flag and form letter from the president. nobody complained or expected more.
this is a pretty meh outrage issue. i do think it was in extremely poor taste for trump to drag kelly into this. seems like it's widely known that he made a conscious effort to keep his grief over his son's death private

I believe he’s referring to Trumps failure to show when the bodies of the four soldiers killed in Niger returned. Trump was golfing instead.

Must you dumb MFers make a god damn racist political statement out of every god damn thing that happens? You god damn fing Trump supporters are some of the most vile ow life sobs ever to get past a condom.

Yes, he was telling the military to stand down & not rescue an American ambassador being attacked on sovereign US soil. I guess that is technically "working."
