[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question is, WHY was this being done NOW???

The Afghan withdrawal was in 2021.  3 years ago.  THREE YEARS AGO.

There is one and only one reason why it was done NOW and that's because it was to try and boost Trump and to trash the Biden admin (and by extension Harris) BECAUSE IT'S ELECTION SEASON.

This was NOT an "official ceremony" and Biden wasn't informed, involved or anything.

All lies.  A political stunt.  And they abused one of our nation's most hallowed memorials to do it.  [/quote]

You are wrong.

It’s the 3rd anniversary of Abbey Gate.

That’s why it’s been 3 years- it’s the 3rd anniversary of the death of their children.[/quote]

If so, did they also do this on the 1st and 2nd anniversary?  I don't recall Trump going to Arlington for those.  Because THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN THEN.  And, the same rules were in place in 2023 and 2022 had they gone for the 1st and 2nd anniversary, so they should have known the rules by now.

3 years was arbitrary.  It was an election stunt meant to help Trump.   But one that failed.[/quote]

Why would it help Trump?[/quote]

Going to give the question the benefit of the doubt that it is in good faith.

The plan of the Trump campaign was to show Trump with the Abbey Gate families, laying wreath, and claiming that Harris and Biden did not show up to the ceremony. Showing that Harris is callous and uncaring of the military.

Except of course, there was no ceremony, Harris and Biden were not invited but Trump was, and then they made a has of it by being disrespectful to the fallen buried near the graves, and breaking federal law by using the footage from it on their social media. [/quote]

Citation?

You are claiming Trump planned the ceremony?

Where did you find that information?[/quote]

One of the family members spoke at the RNC.  It was totally political.

Trump DID NOT go to Arlington on the 1st anniversary of Abbey Gate.
Trump DID NOT go to Arlington on the 2nd anniversary of Abbey Gate.
Trump went to Arlington at the height of election season, 2 months before Election Day.

He didn't give a shit about the 1st or 2nd anniversary of Abbey Gate.

It. Was. Totally. Political.  This cannot be disputed.[/quote]

Additionally, Trump has not paid respect for the 65 military members who died under his term as Commander-in-Chief.  He attended only 4 dignified transfers at Dover for 9 of the 65 soldiers who died under his command, far fewer than any other president and less than half of the transfers that VP Pence attended.  That is pretty disrespectful.

As always, Trump only pays attention to what is politically advantageous for him.  When it comes to the military, they are nothing but props to him in his political campaign,  He does not actually care about the soldiers and he has shown this repeatedly.[/quote]
