Army rebukes Trump campaign over Arlington cemetery altercation and photo op — which Biden used in both of his presidential camp...
The US Army responded in a statement Thursday that rebuked the Trump campaign for having flouted federal laws to pose for a photo with Gold Star families at Arlington National Cemetery.
Trump did everything correctly. It was a memorial service at the request of some gold star parents. The parents then asked for a picture with Trump and their child’s headstone and family.
Which it appears is not allowed.
This isn't directed to you, but who cares? The Gold Star families are significantly more important than any stupid rules. Let the family mourn and honor in how they see fit
I would agree. And it doesn't appear the campaign broke any rule per se, the media are just manufacturing it.
I think it took a lot of courage for Donald do that. It is a very powerful image of the enormity of the ultimate sacrifice and he deflected the intensity of the possible backlash with a bold move that showed his dedication to families. Something to break the spell the media has over the army and the people. May God be with those families!
