1. I bet not
Considerng they have been criticized for not going, you would think that if they have more recently there would have been a lot of noise made about it.

3. Nope. And no national memorial services yet. UK, Spain, Italy, Ukraine,
etc have all had national memorials. But not America.

The 911 victims were given a national memorial, but when dead Americans' names were read out on telly in a memorial, the rightwingnuts went ballistical over such "TREASONOUS ANTI-AMERICANISM" because those dead Americans happened to be US soldiers.

4. If they have, it's neither been photographed nor reported.
I would say no.

5. These cowards
that used one method or another to avoid combat duty don't have the guts to attend the funeral of a young American that died as a direct result of their lies.

6. That is breathtaking in it's cruelty.
in it's mind blowing disregard and denial of what they have instigated, promoted and created.

I keep thinking of Monica Lewinsky/impeachment..

and how our country and Americans have been used by this Administration, assaulted and abused.

I wonder if they laugh about all they've created.

then I think back to Monica again......

How did we get here so quickly from what seems soooo long ago?
