@George-K A serving Commander in Chief honoring fallen vets is quite different from an aspirant for office exploiting them during a campaign.
Maybe the gap would close a bit had Obama done that in September of 2012, but on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 it was the right thing to do. Indeed, imagine the reaction of the RWEC had he not done something like that.
Maybe this wouldn’t be a big deal if Biden or Harris ever actually spoke with any of the Gold Star parents or even read the names and acknowledged their sacrifice? Just a thought.

Donny Fonzerelli Trump visits fallen soldiers.
And 95% of the families were grateful.

Me Knowest! LOL
40% of the voting population will vote for President Trump, regardless of what he has said or done in the past, and regardless of what he says or does in the future to the election time.
40% of the voting population will vote for VP Harris, regardless of what she has said or done in the past, and regardless of what she says or does in the future to the election time.
20% will decide the election.
That is who both candidates should be focusing on - those 20%.
And trust me that the above, is not something that will sway the 20%.
(Having said that, I am 95% sure that President Trump had no decision or part in the whole fiasco. It is basically the fault of his campaign staff, but as has been said, it is perception...........)

At least Obama didn't do it on the 11th anniversary that coincides with an election year.
Was Obama invited?
Gold star families invited Trump, because they thought the Biden-Harris Administration caused their loved ones deaths through negligence and then gave them a fucking over afterwards.
With Trump there, it guarantees that people do not forget.

Where’s that “point” floating over the guy’s head gif?
No doubt we could find a number of families of fallen soldiers that would invite Free Palestine protestors to their son’s graves for the photo op. Wouldn’t make it appropriate.

My son was murdered by the Biden-Harris Administration...

Its sad that 13 families in 2021 had to bear the death of a military son or daughter during military action.
it is also sad that 19 families in 2019 had to bear the death of a military son or daughter action..

That's correct, but very misleading. You like graphs...Graph out the months when those deaths occurred.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Says 2019 had 21 deaths due to hostile action.

You're right - joking is not the right word, but my response was probably misleading, but there is still a semi valid point.
I have not study each of the combat deaths in 2019, but I am guessing that more than one of them was somehow the result of bad planning, poor support, lack of XXX, etc. As Commander in Chief, does the ultimate responsibilty fall to the president for their (possibly preventable) death?
Murder is probably not the correct word either from the mom.

I think her term was pretty close to the mark. That entire mess was a clusterfuck turned up to 11.
A combat death is one thing. An IED, a lone sniper, a suicide bomber...One can try to mitigate casualties, but you can't escape them. Or, as Johnny Jones says about when his legs got blown off and his two battle buddies were killed...If I stepped right instead of left, they'd be alive and I would have legs.
Biden made multiple mistakes, horrible mistakes during the Afghanistan withdrawal. It in no way compares with typical combat deaths in a war zone
-
How many of those combat deaths in 2019 were followed up with Afghani Civilian Contractors, allies of our forces, falling from airliners they were trying to hold onto to get away from what our troops abandoned them to?
-
In 2020, 2 US service men were killed and 6 injured when a (fake?) Afghan soldier got into a US base and started shooting.
How come this happened? Who did the vetting and background checks? Was President Trump responsible?
(Yes, the Afghan withdraw was a fiasco. How did the suicide bomber get so close? Who was responsible for the planning and logistics? Biden? And regardless, the President has to take ultimate responsibility. For what happened in 2021 and what happened in 2020. The Buck Stops Here. All too often, Presidents forget that.)
