Feels wrong editing the grave of a soldier to craft a political message.
But that’s one of the many reasons why you don’t take political photos at the graves of soldiers.
yes, it does, and at the same time, no it doesn’t.
But that’s why it is forbidden to make photos there
And editing this, shaming the family and Trump, is the only way to keep up the social norm of not accepting this.
Anyways, why it doesn’t:
He edited him out of it. He took him out of this absurd and disrespectful situation. I feel like he actually did him a service by taking her out of the equation here.
Edit: The Marine was male not female I just noticed. Was absolutely sure I saw another meme where there was a female name on the grave, but whatever, it felt right to correct it.
I have zero sympathy for the consequences befalling the family for their own choices. Of all people, they should have understood the solemnity and sanctity of where they were standing. They were told of the rules, rules they should have known anyway, and they doubled down defending him in that ridiculous letter. In doing so, they disrespected their own fallen kin and the sacrifices made by every soldier living or dead. And that is all before you consider that they did it on behalf of an anti-Amrerican traitor, insurrectionist, and would-be despot.
All that said, it still feels wrong to me to overwrite the text of a gravestone of a fallen soldier. That his family are pieces of shit doesn’t mitigate the disrespect.
I’m going to stay on the side of “shouldn’t use Arlington as a political tool,” regardless of what side it comes from.
It will not rest in peace: it may seem defeated for a while but come back with vengeance after some time.
One word: VOTE
