I bet the families did not want either of them there, but still. How awful.
Trump attended and laid a wreath with Marine Cpl. Kelsee Lainhart, who was paralyzed by the bomb that killed the soldiers and hundreds of Afghanistan citizens.
It's the 3rd anniversary of 13 American service members dying during the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Biden is currently at the beach.
Kamala has nothing on her schedule.

This is the man the Left said didn’t act “presidential”.
Some people here thought the same, wanting to promote DeSantis to be an example of the Peter Principle.
This will get zero coverage in the evening newscasts, both local and national.
Unattractive campaigning, soldiers as props.
Better than using them as human umbrella stands (Obama) or as carriers of drink and canape trays at White House cocktail parties (the Clintons).
Or as blood-red backdrops to a Leni Riefenstahl speech.
Which brings up a point: I am fairly sure no one volunteered for that assignment.
I can guarantee that. Marines go where they’re ordered. I’m willing to bet that none of them wanted to be there.
well
WE KNOW THATS THE WAY LEFTY SEES IT
It is right and proper that our leaders remember and memorialize those who were lost while actively serving their country.
You really are a complete jackass.
844 active duty deaths in 2022, the latest annual figure I see. Why pick these 13? Prop commemoration to get at Biden.
What about the other 83`1? Not good enough?
so you’re also unaware of time management
Trump isn’t and wasn’t their commander in chief. The soldiers in question might have preferred Biden and Trump’s using them as campaign props, with no other relation to them.
When Trump was President I’ve heard he was at Dover for every fallen soldier that came back. That was his job then, if he chose to do it. It isn’t now.
The soldiers in question might have preferred Trump rub Biden’s meth-palsied face in rat manure pie. But since that’s not a viable option, they will settle for being used as campaign props.
“Prop commemoration to get at Biden.”
Bullshit on stilts.
Biden is an empty suit, an empty skull, and an invisible lame duck.
Besides, he’s too busy beachin’ it to spend time at Arlington honoring sacrifice, whether it’s the 844 who died on his watch in 2022 or the 13 who died during the disastrously botched Kabul withdrawal.
Kamala? She’s too busy out trying to scam votes.
Meanwhile, Trump is laying wreaths at Arlington and I’m sure the families of the fallen are appreciative.
Looks to me like you spent YOUR morning brewing a pot of sarcastic cynicism and pouring yourself a cup of bitterness and bile.
Because these 13 people died because your worthless president was directly responsible for their deaths, bonehead. And it is appropriate to pay respects to them on the anniversary of their deaths and stick a finger in the eye of your worthless president and your Marxist presidential candidate. It good and good politics to do.
Does that make it clear to you?
I favor Trump. I’d just prefer a moral campaign.
Mr. Hardin, enough of the pearl-clutching, It makes you look like an acolyte of David French…
It’s Trump resorting to clickbait. It’s bad enough when sites do it, because it’s substituting the wrong argument for the right argument. All the other side has to do is debunk your wrong argument. “Trump didn’t do it last year or the year before. It’s a cynical publicity stunt at the expense of the soldiers he’s using as props for his own benefit.” That’s the debunk. You’re throwing away your credibility without any reason to.
This event does not have the feel of a campaign event. Trump sincerely loves our country and wanted to memorialize these soldiers forgotten by the true narcissist and cynic, FJB.
And Biden vacations while all this is happening.
Uh, cameras. He didn’t do it last year. And look at the reaction here. It’s a campaign event.
With the so-called “props” created by Biden’s own posturing to have a photo-op by hastily getting out of Afghanistan by 9/11, against his generals’ advice.
Jesus your an awful person. As a Veteran I am heartened someone cares enough to lay wreathes on our hero’s graves while our current Pres is drooling into his ice cream on another vacation and the VP who wants to be Cmdr in Chief is touring around in a bus without a word from either.
You want more attention, is that right?
trump was overheard saying:
I love and honor these brave soldiers
which the msm then reported as:
these suckers stayed at the trump plaza and owe me money
trump is KNOWN to be pro America
so the leftists hate that when he honors the soldiers
WHILE THE JANE FONDA MICHAEL MOORE OBAMATROGS LED
Leftists hate the usa PATRIARCHAL MILITARY and actually use the military as they do their street armies
^^^^^^FACTS^^^^
I am amazed that Mr. 10% allowed the Military to cooperate with Trump to have a memorial service at Arlington.
Perhaps, 10% is afraid of bad publicity if he refused Trump.
Hillary Clinton- “At this point, what difference does it make?”
I know it is a quibble to most people and the author certainly did not intend to insult. But they were not soldiers. They were Marines.
I believe 1 soldier, 11 Marines and a Navy Corpsman?
Trump showed up to lay wreathes on the graves of our hero’s on America’s most hallowed ground while the 2 that murdered them couldn’t be bothered. Screw both of them and it’s no wonder the military can’t recruit. Who the hell would serve the people in the WH at this time?
There was only one soldier who died in this disgraceful withdrawal. However, eleven Marines and one sailor, a corpsman, were also killed.
You are exactly correct. I apologize for my inaccurate statement.
