War memorials, such as the Punchbowl National Memorial Cemetery (where many WWII dead are buried, including those executed by the Japanese on Wake Island and the beloved American journalist Ernie Pyle), are symbols of military aggression and brutality "that pacify death, sanitize war and enable future wars to be fought" (Ferguson and Turnbull, 1). One author stated that the memorials represent American propaganda, "the right to alter a story" (Camacho 201).Punchbowl is where Obama's grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham, who died in 1992, is buried.

Stanley's wife could have buried next to him. Instead on 23 Dec, 2008 Obama and his sister scattered their grandmother's ashes in the ocean at Lanai Lookout, supposedly the same spot where they had scattered their mother's ashes in 1995.
Did Obama follow his later mother's direction or his own? Where did the grandmother want to be interred? Does Obama also loathe the vets buried at the Punchbowl and the whole symbol of the veteran's cemetery as much as these "academics" gathered to share their America loathing under the direction of his administration?

Thanks, bvd. Your questions about 0hbumma probably accurately reflect his loathing of our Military.

I suspected back at the time her ashes were scattered to prevent any possible DNA testing. There were rumors that she had died days or weeks before the election and possibly was already deceased when he made that mad dash to Hawaii during the campaign. One Hawaiian journalist had a timeline of his stops during that campaign visit and reported Hussein was at typical white granny’s apartment all of 45 minutes including the time it took him to walk up and knock and to leave. Lots of love there, huh.
