Two star Major General Harold Greene was killed in Afghanistan on August 8, 2014 while serving his country with pride for 34 years. As of 1972, he was the highest ranking officer in the military killed in action since the Vietnam war. President Obama has not mentioned anything in regards to this decorated soldier yet he spoke highly of Robin Williams who committed suicide. General Harold Greene was buried August 14 in the Arlington National Cemetery. Neither the President, Vice President, Secretary of State nor any Executive Branch office representative attended the funeral. President Obama was on vacation, playing golf at Martha’s Vineyard. No flags were ordered to half staff, yet they were for Whitney Houston who also committed suicide. I find this very offensive and disrespectful to the veterans who have served our great country. But then again, why does this not surprise me.
