Trump Goes to Golf Event as Bodies of Soldiers Arrived Home
William Vaillancourt writes for The Daily Beast about Trump choosing to attend a Saudi-funded golf event on Friday rather than the dignified transfer of troop's bodies who died while on training mission in Lithuania.

Why hang out honoring suckers and losers when you could be making some cold hard cash:
Trump Family's Cash Registers Ring as Financial Meltdown Plays Out The party was on at a Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament at the president's Doral resort in Florida and a fund-raiser at Mar-a-Lago, even as markets tumbled. The financial market meltdown was underway when President Trump boarded Air Force One on his way to Florida on Thursday for a doubleheader of sorts: a Saudi-backed golf tournament at his family's Miami resort and a weekend of fund-raisers attracting hundreds of donors to his Palm Beach club. It was a fresh reminder that in his second term, Mr. Trump has continued to find ways to drive business to his family-owned real-estate ventures, a practice he has sustained even when his work in Washington has caused worldwide financial turmoil.

You people are sick.
Trying to drum up outrage whever you can find it.
It was a training accident. Now you people are concerned? Do you know how many soldiers die overseas in training accidents and get boxed up and sent home?
Just from Germany alone?
Go ---- yourselves you idiots. The President doesn't need to be at Dover for every soldier that gets killed doing something. Accidents happen. As it was in this case.

Perspective:
Lithuanians bid farewell to 4 US troops who died in training accident Lithuania's political and religious leaders joined thousands of people on Thursday to bid farewell to four American soldiers who died during a training exercise in the Baltic nation. President Gitanas Nausda and other dignitaries were among those who stood in respect as hearses carried the bodies of the four young Americans to Vilnius airport before being flown to the United States for burial. Many of the onlookers were in tears, and Nausda said that the reaction of the population and the military to the disappearance of soldiers was rooted in Lithuania's own difficult history.

More perspective:
When American Soldiers Were in Trouble, Our Allies Showed Up Inside the allied effort to find four soldiers lost in a training exercise. OVER THE LAST WEEK, amid government turmoil, massive new tariffs, a stock market free-fall beckoning a possible recession, and other major news, many Americans likely missed a story that was unfolding in the normally quiet forests of Lithuania. Four U.S. soldiers, including three seasoned and professional non-commissioned officers, tragically lost their lives when their M88 Hercules recovery vehicle was swallowed by a hidden sinkhole during a training mission. The remains of Staff Sgt. Jose Duenez Jr., Staff Sgt. Edvin F. Franco, PFC Dante D. Taitano, and Staff Sgt. Troy S. Knutson-Collins were recovered after an exhaustive eight-day operation that showcased not only the unwavering commitment of American forces to their fellow soldiers, but also the profound solidarity of our allies in Europe.

Yeah... because it's a different kinda dead... battlefield deaths are special... battlefield deaths are important... the battlefield dead are the deadest ever... those guys were just on a training exercise learning how to set themselves up for death... so it doesn't count cause they weren't supposed to die... but they did it anyway... against orders. actually...
most military casualties are not the result of combat. One of the reasons for outsourcing duties to civilian contractors from foreign shores is to further reduce military financial obligations to those injured while doing the back-breaking work of the wartime support services. Dick Cheney raked in the bucks hiring extendible humans to do the grunt work... they don't count...

"There is a difference between dying in a training accident and dying in direct combat." sailors Either way those men or women gave their lig ves serving their country and deserve to be honored and their sacrifice respected. Even if they are serving in an office position but are somehow killed while on duty they deserve the same. Or if they are a cook or a gardener, or a medic or a doctor, it doesn't matter.

The President doesn't need to be at Dover for every soldier that gets killed doing something. Accidents happen. As it was in this case.
No. The President does not NEED to be there for every soldier that dies under his watch. It's not a legal requirement. The world will not end if he doesn't not show respect for the dead he was responsible for.
However, it would be the right thing to do and would show his respect for the soldiers that gave everything for this country.
But I completely understand now that when something is the morally the right thing to do for America for some weird reason maga maroons will do the exact opposite. Most likely because they have no morals.

One of my soldiers died riding a motorcycle. I didn't see Obama at his funeral. One of my soldiers died at a training accident at FT. Gordon. I didn't see Bush at his funeral. Two of my soldiers died in an AH-60 accident in Afghanistan. I didn't see Obama there when I and the entire brigade command escorted the bodies back to Dover.
And they damn sure wasn't there when we had to notify the families of their deaths.
Again, it's obvious you know nothing about military life. Progressives are doing nothing more than using this as a political weapon and it's stupid.

Boazo loves to see the------------- give his retarded thumbs up sign in front of an American soldier's tombstone.

Did anyone not die in an accident? Hopefully these accidents rolled into reports that gave rise to better policies. I was forever impressed with the commitment to safety I saw ony time at the Navy base, not that I did anything more dangerous than commute.

They rolled into making safety briefs better. We started incorporating motorcycle safety in our briefs before we let the soldiers go on the weekend.
The soldier I mentioned actually wasn't doing anything. He was sitting at a light and a car ran him over at the stoplight. His wife was a SGT was in my unit. When Me and a pastor and his unit supervisor went to notify his wife, she opened the door and said "Oh, that's why he isn't answering the phone."
One of the toughest notifications I ever had to make.

And that particular incident, BTW, was what got me off Rice burners. After his funeral, I took my brand new 2008 GSXR 750 right back to the dealership and sold it.
Alot better on 4 wheels.

"Yeah cuz Republicans would never use such an incident to attack progressives if the shoe was on the other foot would they? Puhleee! Don't make me laugh.

Happened all the time under Biden. Just wasn't in the liberal press you listen to.

^ Nanny State -------- for dumb little children under your command I guess. Grown-ups know motorcycles aren't safe, they choose to take the risks, they pay the price.
It isn't even sad. They die doing what they love. And they leave us their organs, for those who value life. And it saves the taxpayers millions in retirement costs.
I think that CBR is calling your name Boaz! ;)

While rehabilitating the image of the notorious Saudi regime with the LIV golf tournament as world financial markets tumbled, the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) made a tidy little fortune for themselves: archive.is
