My son-in-law took issue with my short comment. He has been a commercial pilot for many years and brought fallen soldiers back from the Middle East in the early 2000s. He never told me about this then, but his Mom did, in confidence. In his response to my post, he detailed his experience, and said that it isn't a given that the CiC meets the fallen. He said I should leave that ceremony out of my political posts. He is an r, but as far as I know not a trumper. (tbh, I avoid politics around him) I looked for confirmation about the story and scanned 3 sources that aren't fox, other rw rags, and each story pointed out that felon was going to fl. to play golf, so this is what I posted.

*Just heard that instead of being at Dover AFB when the bodies of the 4 dead U.S. soldiers were returned to America, felon went golfing.*

I am trying to focus on the lack of humanity as I resist the current state of my country. I refer to him as felon if I have to refer to him at all. I try to honor fallen soldiers if their are headline stories about their deaths. I am a life-long pacifist, but the people who die for our country deserve thanks from us, whether we wanted them to die or not.

I'm venting. I have a good relationship with him and I hope this isn't the end of it.
