Some have speculated that the lack of a presidential proclamation might be because as tragic and senseless as they were, the Chattanooga deaths involved members of the U.S. armed forces who are considered to have been killed in the line of duty, and while individual states often lower their flags to honor local natives or residents who die in the service of their country, doing so at a national level would require the President to pick and choose among service deaths to decide which to so honor.
I'm not current on the status of Ft Hood either.
Since the military recruiters were in uniform, on assignment and under orders performing their assigned service to their country when they were killed, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume they died under enemy fire in the line of duty?
Cheri I think the push started under HW but was acutely signed by Clinton.
How do you know he had "mental problems"?? He might have had minor drug problems with pot and alcohol (which are forbidden by Islam), but minor depression (if that was actually the case) doesn't qualify. Up to now all indications point to religious problems. Anyone who attacks our military personnel in or out of uniform for the purpose of doing our country harm is an enemy.
