Thank you for this interesting and thoughtful post, Daniel. Great little video, too! Just an FYI - I know someone who is good friends with the soldier's family that the Orange-Ass was with at Arlington. That soldier just happened to be from the town next to where I live, so she's considered a 'local hero'. Anyway, she told me that Orange-Ass has been in contact with the family 'frequently' since she was killed and they feel that he is the only one that really cares about them and about what happened to their daughter. They hate Joe Biden. They were thrilled that O-A was there, which is why they all look so very happy in the photo. When I criticized his visit on my Facebook page the other day and argued with her that it was a photo op, she unfriended me. Another friend of mine got mad at me for upsetting her and told me I should stop posting 'that kind of stuff'. These are people I've been friends with since 2016 and I thought they knew me better. Ha! I'm wondering how many more friends I might lose by being honest? ... the list is getting longer by the day, but I've never been one to keep my mouth shut.

Peaceful Mary T, don’t you dare change your opinion because of your friend’s views. I have lost almost all my friends over my views. But, I look at it this way.

I have data, history, the Law, Democracy, and the Constitution backing up what my views are. My family, especially, knew the years I was involved with the Task Force investigating this moron, and his antics.

I’m so appreciative of you telling me about this family who Trump has been ‘idolizing’ their daughter ever since she was killed.

I wonder if they have come off their ‘self-centeredness’ enough to realize that it was Donald J. Trump who actually caused her, and the other 12 fallen soldiers along with 100s of Afghanistan peoples deaths! Trump was the person who had all the Taliban released that were incarcerated. Trump was the one that caused that being the only airfield left open for people to get to so they could depart. Trump was the one that started the withdrawal of the American forces from Afghanistan.

These people need to wake up and smell the coffee! The pot they have in their stove is burning! Something else this family better wake up and smell. If this woman soldier had pressed charges because of the abuse she endured at the behest of Trump, and his campaign crew, there at Arlington National Cemetery, they would be charged and prosecuted right along with the others.

Their loved one isn’t the only fallen soldier buried on those sacred grounds. There’s 100s of thousands more there.

Someday, your ‘friends’ will want to come back to your friendship. I hope you remind them of their narrow minded ways, how they threw your friendship with them away because if a rapist, criminal, scammer, treasonous traitor, and Russian spy. Then you can bid them farewell and show them the door they closed behind them over this clown. Hopefully, someday, they will realize their mistake. You are a wonderful lady, and I hope I can consider you as a friend of mine!

It’s greatly appreciated, David. I know one thing. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have come a long ways since stepping to the top of the ticket. They have moved the pendulum from 6+ points down to 4-6+ points ahead in every ‘must win’ state.

This isn’t even close to good enough! We need to win this election not only are the top of the ticket, but all the way through to the bottom. We need to keep the White House, Oval Office, plus take the House of Representatives back in strong fashion. We need to strengthen our standing in the Senate, and take the state legislatures in the ‘Red’ states plus keep the ‘Blue’ states intact.

It’s time the Democrats in this nation take this government back, if fur nothing else, to save our Democracy, Constitution, and our free Democratic way of life!

Thank you for this post, especially the video on the history and significance of Arlington ito our nation. Once again, DJT has shown us who he is, a disrespectful, self-serving fraud who should nevee again be Commander-in-Chief.

Thanks, Anne. I’m glad you liked the video selection. Arlington National Cemetery has produced so many great videos of the cemetery it was hard selecting ones to include.

I personally feel that people need to know, and understand, the history of the cemetery and why they have the Federal Laws in place to protect it and the reverence of the cemetery.

Of course, that makes no differences to the lines of Donald J. Trump. He feels he should be able to do whatever he pleases no matter who it hurts.

Daniel, Trump once again broke a FEDERAL LAW and had his goons assault personnel who attempted to inform him of that law. But the Army called it case closed since the person assaulted did not file charges. Why the hell does a person need to file charges when the law was violated, despite that attack!? This is THE problem. Trump is NEVER held accountable for breaking the LAW, for attacking this country! The Army itself is a failure for not making him accountable. It is in essence, permission to continue. A message that whatever he destroys will have zero personal consequences. I think, like you, many people had thoughts about this that could not be put into print.

We must ensure his defeat in November is a record breaker. That he is humiliated into the ground, and then, the trials must begin!

You are preaching to the choir, SeekingReason! I agree, but I have a feeling that the choice the lady made wasn’t hers. I have a feeling she’s doing as she’s ordered by the Army in not pressing charges.

I strongly suspect that the Army did don’t realize that the people of this nation feel the way we do about that hallowed grounds. I don’t think they realized the impact it would have once the Jews got out about the incident, or in this case, once the Trump campaign posted the video.

Thank you for this mini-MasterClass about Arlington National Cemetery. It is very comprehensive and, therefore, helpful to better understand the Cemetery, its rules, and its long history.

This is a great article man! I'm sitting here on YouTube with all the videos about the historic significance of this Hallowed Ground of Our Nation.

I would’ve loved to have put more of those videos in the article, but I think I selected some good ones. There’s a huge selection of Arlington National Cemetery videos on YouTube to watch.

Think I'll go watch some more!

From what I just learned from another lady on here, this family used to be friends with her, and yes, they invited him to the grave. And yes, they wanted the pictures taken, even though it was a strict violation of Federal laws.

I, for the life of me, do not understand the reasoning of some people. Are people this gullible to the likes of Trump? I truly do not understand.
