Famously in the history of Vladimir Lenin's death and its aftermath, Stalin told his rival, Trotsky, the wrong date for Lenin's funeral. At the time Trotsky was traveling for medical reasons. Trotsky's non-appearance at Lenin's funeral was cited by Stalinites as an example of Trotsky being unpatriotic and disrespectful of the late communist leader. Soon afterwards Trotsky was forced into exile.

Nothing Contradicts Biden-Harris Assertion That They Were Not Invited To Arlington Ceremony
Gold Star families did not invite President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to Arlington National Cemetery by last week to commemorate the third anniversary of the attack at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan, a White House official and a Harris aide told NBC News, rebutting separate claims made Sunday by GOP Sen. Tom Cotton and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.



Sunday, Gabbard told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" that she "heard Biden and Harris were invited by some of these family members..."

    So let get this straight... We lost something close to 5K soldiers in Afghanistan, but former presidents and (allegedly) current presidents AND vice presidents are now being invited to Arlington for "third" anniversaries of the death of a handful of soldiers just because they died on the last day (or whatever their assertion is that they think makes these soldiers better than the other 4K+ who also died in that same stupid war for nothiing? Questions...

    Did Trump show up on the first and second anniversaries?

    Were Biden and Kamala invited to THOSE two anniversaries?

    Assuming this actually is something they've been doing for 3 years and not just some lame political stunt to help Trump drum up some clicks in a race where he's getting hammered...

    If Kamala was (allegedly) invited - why was Mike Pence not invited?


    We can go all day on this one and not a single person outside of this board thinking about voting for Kamala will have any idea wtf we talked about here.

    Good point Indy. Gosh, could it be that it's two months to election day that this graveside ceremony was held with such pomp and circumstance?

    Trump did not attend the first and second anniversary ceremonies for the last thirteen to die in Afghanistan. Nor will Trump attend the fourth, fifth, sixth...'

    Trump also will not be marking the anniversaries with funeral visits of the 65 who died in Afghanistan on his watch or the other 2400 who died before that.

    Neither of you two are that stoopid.

    True. You're the only one in this group falling for Trump's crocodile tears. 🤔

    Gee golly, Wally! I'd wish you'd "explain" all this "Pomp and Circumstance!" What I saw was him laying Two wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown (sponsored by the American Legion). One of the wreaths was with an American Legion person, the other was with Marine Cpl. Kelsee Lainhart* (Ret.), who was wounded at the Abbey Gate Bombing and still wheelchair bound. The only other thing was and a small gathering (the cemetery cleared three days prior to that) of a few Gold Star families had for their loved ones that had all been murdered the same day. "Pomp and Circumstance" would include a band with "Ruffles and Flourishes" for the President and other US dignitaries present. And then there's stuff they do for international dignitaries. At that site, the band would be out of "The Old Guard." So even in the videos, there is no band. A standard for any sitting or former President. I'm just wondering what I missed.


    *Cpl Kelsee Lainhart Would have died if not for Cpl Wyatt Wilson, who was also severely wounded. A year later, there is a picture of Lainhart in a hospital bed, and Wilson, strapped at the waist to a hospital transfer bed. One year+ after that, the Marine completed the Chicago Triathlon in a wheelchair, which she may never get out of. She completed all three events which I venture to say is better than anyone on this site could do.

    A question that a couple of people have asked. The Abbey Gate bombing would rank among one of the highest U.S. fatalities in a single incident or mission in Afghanistan, alongside 2011′s Extortion 17, which involved the shooting down of a CH-47D Chinook helicopter, killing 29 U.S. troops and eight Afghans, and 2005 Operation Red Wings, which killed 19 U.S. troops.

    Glad to see you use the term "murder" for a war death, OD - because that's what 95% of them are - murders.
