A U.S. Army carry team moves a flagged-draped transfer case containing the remains of Maj. Jeffery R. O'Brien at Dover Air Force Base March 07, 2026 in Dover, Delaware. Six soldiers from the 103rd Sustainment Command were killed in action by an Iranian drone strike on March 1 in Port Shuabia, Kuwait during "Operation Epic Fury".

These are the same people who spent weeks attacking Biden for briefly glancing at his watch.
The hypocrisy is absolute. There is no bottom for these people.

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.
Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

Im sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

'Head unbowed': Trump buried for showing 'total disrespect' at service for fallen soldiers

The president was seen during the event standing upright while others bowed their heads. He was also wearing a white baseball cap during the typically solemn event, which was broadcast in complete silence on CNN.
That Trump behavior didn't sit well with numerous analysts, including Assistant Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks, who wrote, "Head unbowed and baseball cap in white. Total disrespect."

Members should salute as the flag passes by. Former military members not in uniform may salute. However, civilians should not salute. As a sign of respect, civilians should instead remove any head gear and place it over their heart. In the absence of head gear, the customary gesture is to place the right hand over the heart.
First President to take the dignity out of a dignified transfer
