Why isn’t our Nations flags at half-mast

Post by mmckee1952 »

I for one find this an act or I should say a lack of the act very revealing. On more than one occasion the Obama administration has made a show of lowering the flags to half-mast to show respect on what can be said to be questionable issues at best. Here we have the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces not showing respect for 5 murdered servicemen but he cannot be bothered to interrupt attending a Broadway play and pretend to care. One must wonder if we will have any Administration representative attend the funeral services. My money is on no since he couldn't be bothered with it to show respect for the highest ranking general officer killed in theatre just a short time ago. This is truly pitiful.

This. He was wondering why flags are lowered just because of workplace violence.
