As Commander-In-Chief, is this some sort of an accomplishment?

Well, yeah, he did. But he only went to serve his own purpose. That's my main issue with it.

Funerals are just sacred. All funerals, not just military.

The Wellstone Funeral was a debacle. Democrats have no shame.

That's probably true. However, I object when we enter into claiming to know what it is in someones heart. We must, we need to focus on actions. Is it a bad thing that the potus showed up to meet the plane? Given it was late and subdued and not a public farce, like the Wellstone funeral, I am good with Obama on this one.

Larry, I've been a military brat and/or spouse nearly all my life -I've said before - my brother, 3 brothers in law were also military. My dad is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I have a big problem with a military funeral being used for this POTUS' freaking photo op.

Obama probably doesn't make a poopy without expecting some kind of reward and recognition for it.
Are you talking about the Dover AFB visit or a different visit?

I would simply refuse to salute him. I have no respect for him at all, as a leader, or as a member of the human race.
You're right because your refusal would be a violation of the UCMJ.
