Major General Harold Greene is the highest-ranking officer to fall in combat since Vietnam. The 2-star general was killed in Afghanistan on August 5 and was laid to rest earlier this year at Arlington National Cemetery.
President Obama was too busy golfing at Vineyard Golf Club with elites, such as the World Bank President, to attend. VP Biden was too busy vacationing at the Hamptons to show up.
Not only did Obama not attend, he made no public comment, like he did with Robin Williams, or even order flags to be flown half mast, which he did for Whitney Houston and Nelson Mandela.

SUCH A SAD DAY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT …….IF THIS PRESIDENT HAS SO LITTLE DISREGARD FOR OUR MILITARY ……THEN HE IS BETTER OFF STAYING AWAY…………..
Not a leader, and shows no respect for my country
He has no respect for our military. That is why he is eliminating the best and brightest!
Obama is a sorry S.O.B
POS
The commander of the armed forces SHould have attended the funeral! There is no honorable excuse not to attend. The only answer is disrespect for the military! I don’t care if any Congressman was there but the commander damn sure should have been!
Ovomit wouldn’t even know how to honor this patriot, so he stays away! Sad to say, but the funeral was better observed without him trying to grab the limelight for himself as he always does! Who needs a Muslim terrorist supporting president there anyway?
Look, I think Obama and his whole cabinet suck. With that said, other than this man being a general, what makes his death any more prestigious than any of the soldiers that have died before him? Just because this man was of a higher rank than your regular deceased soldier, his burial warrants a cameo from the president of our country? Give me a break with that bull$#%&!@*. Clearly people really love to find the dumbest $#%&!@* to bitch about. Had I died during a deployment on active duty there wouldn’t be a president showing up to my funeral, I was just a staff sergeant. It is very unfortunate that another one of our soldiers was lost, but crying over this $#%&!@* is ridiculous.
Agree!
Unbelievable disrespect for a president especially if the reason is on a working vacation. What a piece of $#%&!@* .
