What The Hell Is Wrong With Some People

[A Theist]

Is that what it is, Thump? Presidents just grandstanding over the graves of fallen soldiers and taking advantage of their sacrifices for photo ops? How do you know that for sure? Isn't it also possible that our presidents are and were sincere in paying tribute and bestowing honor on our wounded and fallen soldiers?

It's what I think it is. Is it possible I'm wrong? Of course it is.

But the fact is, he invited her to a political event with the intention of making mention. If he simply wanted to pay tribute and bestow honor (as if he could add a scintilla of honor to Chief Owens's sacrifice), then the President could have paid a private visit to her.

If it's possible you're wrong then you can't be sure it's actually what you think it is.  All you know is, if it's connected to President Trump, you don't like it.

So what. He invited her to be present at his speech to Congress so he could publicly pay tribute to her husband, Chief Owen. As other presidents did before him, he publicly bestowed honor on a fallen military service member. You may take issue with it but many others don't.
