By all accounts, Harold was abright child. He grew up in America. He went to schooland had a bright future ahead of him. Harold’s full lifewas cut short in a violent moment. While few people had everheard of Harold before his death, many did afterward. And indeath, something very shocking happened. What was soshocking, especially when it is compared to the death ofsomeone else recently in the news?Harold was Harold Greene, Major General United StatesArmy.On Aug. 5, Major General Greene was killed by aTaliban terrorist. Hewas returned to America with full military honors. Ithas been a tradition that the president attends thefuneral of flag officers killed in theline of duty.Richard Nixon attended thefuneral of a major general killedin Vietnam and George W. Bushattended the funeral of Lieutenant General TimothyMaude, who was killed in the 9/11attacks.While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obamawas golfing. The vice president wasn’t there either.Neither was the secretary of defense. Flags were noteven lowered to half staff.Four days after Harold Greene gave his life forAmerica, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Mo. Itis safe to say, Brown was at best a thug. In theminutes before his death, he committed a robbery at a localconvenience store. According to other reports, Brown struckofficer Darren Wilson and shattered his orbital bone. Obamasent a three-person delegation to Brown’sfuneral! Obama would not attend thefuneral of the highest ranking military officer killedin the line of duty since 9/11, yet he sent adelegation to the funeral of a thug.When Margaret Thatcher, one of America’s staunchestallies and Ronald Reagan’s partner in bringing downSoviet communism, died, Obama sentonly a small low-level delegation toher funeral. The snub was not missed by theBritish.When Chris Kyle, the most lethal American sniper inhistory was murdered, there was no expression ofsympathy from the White House. But whenWhitney Houston died from drugoverdose, Obama ordered all flags be flown at halfmast.There was no White House delegation at the funeral ofan American hero.American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course.A thug dies and he gets a White Housedelegation. Obama also did not attend thefuneral of Judge Justice Scalia. When the timecomes for Obama to be planted, and it couldn’t be soonenough, this country will celebrate his demise.The stenchthat he is will be buried with him. |
