Should Presidents pay their respects to the veterans killed and wounded in the Afghan pullout?

[lightbulb27]

Apparently Biden/Harris never have, per this video. President is on vacation for last two weeks... California, then Delaware Beach. VP Harris has apparently never called, visited, or returned a call. Too busy maybe?

The family members of those killed in the suicide bombing believe they should, as President Trump visited this week.

Vacationing in Delaware

Note: It's not all their fault, someone else got us into Afghanistan. But they were the ones making the decision, that got their family members killed.

Afghanistan

Military members killed during Afghan pullout. Many others injured.

They should call and/or visit

No, they have other priorities

Nice job! You beat me to this one. 👍

Biden was too busy vacationing and Harris can't be bothered. So the families invited President Trump and he took time out from a very difficult schedule to be there for them.

But the despicable Harris/Biden White House set a trap for President Trump there to try to smear him when he was the only one who seemed to even care about these people.

Thank God these families spoke up on his behalf and told the truth about the disgusting Harris/Biden operation in Afghanistan that unnecessarily murdered 13 American soldiers and wounded many others for life and their even more disgusting turning their backs on these troops and their families.

Kamala Harris is a despicable human being, just as bad as Biden and from the exact same mold.

WE have the most cowardly leadership in history. Biden and Harris do not have the honesty or the backbone to take responsibility for their actions and at least pay their respects to the service members who died because of their decisions.

Instead Harris and her handlers turned what was a somber ceremony into a political weapon to use against President Trump. The Gold Star families supported President Trump and made a public statement about what really happened and Harris was lying about it. Too bad the fake news will never run their stories.

Thanks for the MHO😎

I'm pretty sure cowardly describe somebody who get five draft deferments and then insults dead servicemen by calling them suckers and losers.

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 the suckers and loser thing has been debunked both by people who were there and the Secret Service.

[Agape93]

Yeah, just don't be an asshole, assault people or break laws or rules to do so

[DrPepper12]

Really? REALLY? POTUS, any POTUS, has much more to do then contact families of fallen soldiers. That's cold, callous even cruel but that's reality.

And the assumption that POTUSs don't need down time is preposterous. Everyone does.

[lightbulb27]

they do need vacation. this is the head of the military and people are dying by their command...
maybe we need training for officials on how to care for people in military, since so many of them have never served.

[DrPepper12]

I hear you. Military chaplains are probably the best in the world at what they do as far as ministering to their flock. I'm not sure how much superior officers are good at delivering bad news since they're more used to giving orders than sympathy. Great observation!

[exitseven]

yes, Joe Biden was so busy at the beach he almost did not get his diaper changed

[OtterMan68]

Trump went TWO years without reporting to joint Airbase Andrews to receive a fallen soldier after a soldier's father refused to shake his hand.

FACT

SIXTY-FIVE servicemen died in Afghanistan during Trump's tenure. Pence received more caskets than Trump.

FACT

[Guacamole409]

What does Trump have to do at this?

[OtterMan68]

@Guacamole409 given he's said people who enlist are suckers, denigrating POWs, using veteran's graves as photo props without getting the family's permission, said the Presidential Medal of Freedom is better than the Congressional Medal of Honor...

[noohair]

This event was invitation only. Biden/Harris were not invited!!!

[Dargil]

There are no priorities more important.

[DrPepper12]

False. just false.

[Dargil]

@DrPepper12 Good for you. I expected less.

[Guacamole409]

Yes, they should.
