Not angry, just sad that people want to lessen his death. He is dead.

The President of the United States, the Army of the United States and the press made his death a public matter. They are the ones that capitalized on his death to make a "patriotic hero" statement, in spite of his reluctance to allow his name to be used that way during his life, and I think their secondary motives were clear.

You can't have it both ways. His life was what it was, and his death was what it was. It's for us to decide the import of it all, and if that requires a second look at a lie told by our "trusted" leaders, then so be it.
