It is beyond comprehension.
Happy Memorial Day? Happy?
At Fox, of all places, Robert O’Neill, who is known as the SEAL who shot Bin Laden, recently had this to say:
Don’t wish me a happy Memorial Day. There is nothing happy about the loss of the brave men and women of our armed forces who died in combat defending America. Memorial Day is not a celebration.
Memorial Day is a time for reflection, pause, remembrance and thanksgiving for patriots who gave up their own lives to protect the lives and freedom of us all – including the freedom of generations long gone and generations yet unborn. We owe the fallen a debt so enormous that it can never be repaid.
He also had this pointed comment:
Memorial Day is a time to honor the lives of those who would rather die than take a knee when our national anthem is played. But they will fight and die for the rights of those who kneel.
As in protecting the right to protest is exactly what patriotism is about.
But Cadet Bonespurs claims to speak for the honored dead, imagining that they would be honoring him. Because everything is always about him. Always. And of course, he also claims credit for the Obama economic recovery, which was well on its way well before he took office, as was declining unemployment.
Someone was not pleased.
