The families had the perfect right to invite Trump. Neither they nor Trump had the right to invite Trump's campaign and media team as they were well informed prior to doing so anyway.

So do you think the Harris' attacks on Trump make the families of the dead servicemen that invited Trump feel better or worse?

I think at least some of the 13 family members have become semi-professional attack politicians based upon their speeches at the RNC convention in Milwaukee.

I think their published statement yesterday that "no doubt if he (Trump) were still commander in chief, our children would be alive today.” leaves me to say I don't care.

I guess that makes you like most other people then. IMO most don't care about the military ( till they are needed ).

 

Apparently many US ex servicemen have been abandoned by the government to poverty and homelessness, though the bigwigs like having military people around them all the time.

So much for the hypocrisy of saying "thank you for your service" and remembrance days.

Families of service members killed during Afghanistan withdrawal criticize Biden at GOP convention

Updated July 19, 2024

 

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Relatives of some of the 13 American service members killed during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan appeared on stage at the Republican National Convention Wednesday in an emotional moment that revived one of the low points of President Joe Biden’s presidency.

 

The parents and loved ones of those service members have been in the political spotlight ever since (August 26, 2021), appearing before congressional hearings and doing news interviews.

My comment wasn't specifically about you, more about most people and government.

 

Regardless, if I lost a family member because of Biden's incompetence I'd be up there shouting about it too.

Yeah, one would think they would have gotten over their dead children by now. The nerve of these suckers and losers not supporting the administration they blame for their kid's deaths. 

 

They need to get on the joy vibe and move on

The only current issue here is whether the families and Trump brought a photo and video crew into Section 60 at Arlington when they were specifically told by cemetery staff not to do so. -- and then posting clearly political content from the result of doing so.

The Trump campaign and Arlington National Cemetery officials differ on what exactly happened.

The Trump campaign said they were explicitly granted permission to bring "campaign designated media" to Section 60 of the cemetery by the Gold Star families. Messages reviewed by CBS News confirmed that the campaign was given direct permission by the families.

 

However, the rules at Army National Military Cemeteries are dictated by federal law which prohibits any filming for partisan, political or fundraising purposes, according to Arlington National Cemetery media policies, even if there are requests by family members of the fallen.

As per this and a related topic, YES, at least as far as my participation.

 

From the CBS link above:

 

Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers with the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to the U.S. Army requesting a "full account" of the incident at the cemetery. 

 

(Rep.) Raskin requested a response from ( Army Secretary Christine) Wormuth. by Sept. 9.

Army ANC statement:

 

"Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate's campaign. Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants."

“I don’t know what the rules and regulations are. I don’t know who did it,” Trump said. “It could have been them — it could have been the parents.”

On Wednesday, The Times reported that a Queens podiatrist who rented office space from Fred Trump, the president's father, might have given the president his diagnosis as a courtesy to his father.
