We have at our house.
You would think the white house staff would do this sort of thing without being told to do so by the resident.
It is a disgrace that this evens needs to be asked. Obama’s failed actions show his true distain for our Great Military.
The White House staff is busy with fundraising parties, vacation planning , and stuff.
obama can order the lowering of the flag for anyone he wants, I guess. But I have to ask, do we lower the flag everytime a soldier is killed in combat? I doubt you’re going to see it lowered.
None of them were Muslims, were they? Well, there you go!
Why would they lower it, the crowd of America-hating Marists that currently inhabit our White House are probably celebrating!
Two of the SEALs killed were from Shreveport. Gov. Jindal ordered all public building flags lowered starting this past Monday, through (IIRC) the end of the month.
I understand the sentiment and we should all grieve over this terrible loss.
Let’s be realistic We are at war. A soldier dies almost every day. Do you really think it’s appropriate to keep the flag at half mast every day?
Did we ever lower the flag once during WWII?
I’m loathe to defend anything the Obama White House does... but I don’t believe that flag protocol has ever put the flag at half-staff for combat casualties. It’s just not generally done. Not that it would be wrong, but it would be uncommon, though the President can order the flag to half staff for any reason he chooses.
For all we know, somebody in the WH dropped a dime on them.
What about the other (Non-SEAL) servicemen who died. Don’t they count?
Further, I’m of the opinion the men chosen to be on that clunker of a death trap WERE those who took part in that successful raid.
Further, I'm of the opinion the criminal alien has surrounded himself with the worst of the enemy inside our country; that they were forced into ordering the elimination of the leader of outside muslim terrorists, al-Qaeda, by the leader of terrorism within our borders - sitting inside our Oval Office.
May Almighty God embrace the best of our best into His Eternal Kingdom, and may His love console those families and friends immediately impacted by this avoidable, collusional and single-minded surrender by the enemy within to the enemy beyond our borders.
Just heard on local news that Gov. Bob McDonnell has declared Friday a day of mourning in Virginia and that state flags will be flow at half staff that day. Maybe if enough states do this Dumbo will get the hint, but I think he is too worried about jetting off to Martha’s Vineyard right now.
Great post. Thanks.
Since when is it common to lower the flag for ANY serviceman? If you do it for one, or even a group, why not all, every time? I could see problems with this.
obama got his photo op.
his mission, accomplished.
It would be completely hypocritical if they did. THESE PEOPLE DON’T CARE.
