This type of article serves no purpose other than to incite anger. Inflammatory in nature. No place for it.

It is sad we lose anybody in combat. I have been to at least four ramp ceremonies maybe five and I lost my first sergeant to a suicide born vehicle IED in May, 2009 in Afghanistan. The phone numbers are already upset enough then I don't think this article does anything except add salt to the wound.

Correction family members not phone numbers. I'm using voice text. This article is bringing me sad memories of the ramp ceremonies done at different times of the day or night when I was in kirkuk, Northern Iraq in 2004 and 2005.

It appears some find posting this article offensive and out of sorts, and while they will say it is "divisive", there is no place for it, and "unbecoming, regardless of whom the president is", I very seriously doubt they took a similar stance on similar articles posted 1-2 years ago. I certainly don't see them taking issue with people calling our former president "Obummer" or any of the other numerous epitaphs, so their sense of decorum on propriety somehow rings false.
Still, it is worth considering that the current POTUS had plenty of time to "tweet war" with professional athletes, or even Republican Senators, and yet I have not heard a single mention from Trump regarding the ambush in Niger. It speaks to focus and priorities.
