GUESS WHO WAS MISSING AT THE FUNERAL OF THE HIGHEST RANKING OFFICER KILLED IN COMBAT…

I didn't even have to open this one to know who it was. What a contemptible administration and what a sorry constituency for even tolerating this shit as the ANOINTED ONE busies himself with recreation, civil / RACIAL AGITATION, international discord and total ignorance or aiding and abetting Islamic terrorism world wide … or before I grow a new ulcer, perhaps the poor General's family requested that none of these folks disgrace the man by showing their miserable faces.

I couldn’t have said it any better…

U S Army Major General Harold Greene was buried today at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors, including a caisson, two escort platoons, casket team, firing party, colors team, and a caparisoned horse. The U.S. Army band, “Pershing’s Own,” played softly as the funeral procession made its way down the long hill past the rows of simple white gravestones to bring General Greene to his final resting place.

The graveside service began with a few words, followed by a 13-gun salute. The major general’s widow, Dr. Susan Myers, was seated in the front row. To her right was their son 1st Lt. Matthew Greene, his daughter Amelia Greene, followed by Major General Greene’s father, also Harold Greene.

After three rifle volleys and the playing of “Taps,” the American flag, once placed on the major general’s casket, was carefully folded as the band played “America the Beautiful.” U S Army Chief of Staff General Ray Odierno presented the flag to his widow, and additional flags to his children and father.

General Greene, 55, became the highest-ranking fatality in the war in Afghanistan after an Afghan military police officer opened fire on August 5, 2014.

Guess who was missing…
