I am not to take away from "that senator's" military service. However, if you listened to any of the hype, no one had ever sacrificed more for their nation. Tell that to the 58,272 names that appear on the Vietnam Memorial.
Standard amount of time, that the flag flies at half-mast, for a deceased senator is forty-eight hours. When the administration followed that protocol, the media and the left wing-nuts went wild. The only problem, as I see it, the White House buckled and lowered the flag after following all of the falderal.
So many dead senators. So many dead REAL heroes.
One dead miceycaine.
