Arlington director needs to call a news conference

Explain what happened and why it was unacceptable to use ANC as a political prop. Because right now the Trump campaign is talking smack about cemetery workers who were only doing their job.

2. It might take a little time getting everything together. Someone might be talking to the families to see just what went

on too. I'd say they may have been duped and used. I kind of doubt families of the other guys that were killed at Kabul would approve.

Of course, he could have gone there and paid respects with no cameras. If the family wanted pics, they could have done that at the entrance just as well.

The families don't make the rules
ANC does. There are signs everywhere about proper decorum. An escort is assigned to each family to make sure people don't wander around etc.

They're going to try and stay out of it - can't be seen picking a side.

The woman who got slandered as "mentally ill" by Cheung for objecting to MFer's exploitation? She's going to be outed by one side or another.

Dammit! Show some respect!

p.s. this stunt by TSF seems to reinforce that there are no guardrails with his campaign. TSF may be running it his way.
