U.S. Army Major General Harold Greene Laid to Rest
COLLAPSE STORY
U.S. Army Major General Harold Greene was buried today at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors, including a caisson, two escort platoons, casket team, firing party, colors team, and a caparisoned horse. The U.S. Army band, "Pershing's Own," played softly as the funeral procession made its way down the long hill past the rows of simple white gravestones to bring General Greene to his final resting place.
The graveside service began with a few words, followed by a 13-gun salute. The major general's widow, Dr. Susan Myers, was seated in the front row. To her right was their son 1st Lt. Matthew Greene, his daughter Amelia Greene, followed by Major General Greene's father, also Harold Greene.

After three rifle volleys and the playing of "Taps," the American flag, once placed on the major general's casket, was carefully folded as the band played "America the Beautiful." U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno presented the flag to his widow, and additional flags to his children and father.
General Greene, 55, became the highest-ranking fatality in the war in Afghanistan after an Afghan military police officer opened fire on Aug. 5th, 2014.

Saw this on the news tonight and thought the same thing.
He is without question the biggest jackass that has ever resided in the White House.

Disgraceful. ******* around at Martha's Vineyard is more important.
Holy ****!!! The world is going to end!!
EDGARTOWN, Mass. — President Barack Obama is getting off the island.
In a rare move for him, the president planned a break in the middle of his Martha's Vineyard vacation to return to Washington on Sunday night for unspecified meetings with Vice President Joe Biden and other advisers.
The White House has been cagey about why the president needs to be back in Washington for those discussions. Part of the decision appears aimed at countering criticism that Obama is spending two weeks on a resort island in the midst of so many foreign and domestic crises.
Yet those crises turned the first week of Obama's vacation into a working holiday. He made on-camera statements on U.S. military action in Iraq and the clashes between police and protesters in Ferguson, Missouri. He called foreign leaders to discuss the tensions between Ukraine and Russia, as well as between Israel and Hamas.
"I think it's fair to say there are, of course, ongoing complicated situations in the world, and that's why you've seen the president stay engaged," White House spokesman Eric Schultz said.
Obama is scheduled to return to Martha's Vineyard on Tuesday and stay through next weekend.
Even though work has occupied much of Obama's first week on vacation, he still found plenty of time to golf, go to the beach with his family and go out to dinner on the island. He hit the golf course one more time Sunday ahead of his departure, joining two aides and former NBA player Alonzo Mourning for an afternoon round.
Earlier in the week, Obama attended a birthday party for Democratic adviser Vernon Jordan's wife, where he spent time with former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
That get-together between the former rivals-turned-partners added another complicated dynamic to Obama's vacation. Just as Obama was arriving on Martha's Vineyard, an interview with the former secretary of state was published in which she levied some of her sharpest criticism of Obama's foreign policy.
Clinton later promised she and Obama would "hug it out" when they saw each other at Jordan's party. No reporters were allowed in, so it's not clear whether there was any hugging, but the White House said the president danced to nearly every song.

If Obama should work 24/7 for 400K, how often should athletes work. Floyd works 1 or 2 days a year for 105 million.

The President is on call 24/7. That is what the job requires. If he doesn't like the pay, don't run for office.
As far as you Floyd comment, just plain dumb if you think he only works two days a year.

The President is the most underpaid person in the world. I think it comes to around 1 tenth of 1 penny per US citizen.

What a juvenile take. Liberals..
I know. Most President's are destitute when they leave office. I saw Chelsea Clinton pan handling the other day in McKeesport.
Given the number of citizens he actually represents I'd say he's over paid.
That ************ should be paying all of us.
He is already paying half the country, he can't afford to pay the other half that is working.
I know, I just meant that as a reflection of his piss poor performance. That bum was accountable he wouldn't make a nickel.
He's golfing again today.
This terrorist piece of **** has said **** it and checked out.

Bomma is simply not used to people not doing what He says and having to work at it. Being a community organizer among a bunch of like-minded people or an Illinois state senator among a bunch of like-minded people or the First Black Senator and working with a bunch of like-minded people doesn't prepare you for a job where the Muzzies, Vlad Putin, and even the French tell you to go to hell.
