Political Hypocrisy

 A fallen Utah Marine arrived home in a box yesterday. That would have been Sunday August 29, 2021. The arrival destination is at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. That's where President Joe Biden is from. Anyway, the Dover Air Force Base is where all of the U.S. military's soldiers arrive after being...killed in action. President Biden attended the arrival of the soldiers killed at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. I'll bet you didn't know that the airport in Kabul was named after Hamid Karzai. I didn't. Hamid Karzai was the Afghan 'president' for quite some time. Ole Karzai buddy is a real peach and helluva human being. Sure he is. Oh yes and it just so happens that President Biden's being in attendance at the Dover Air Force Base is referred to as "a dignified transfer." That 'transfer' honors returning remains of soldiers killed in any theater of operations declared active by the U.S. military. So that fallen Utah Marine that started this tirade arrived at the Dover Air Base and was attended by the Marine's family. the Marine's family was flown to Dover Air Base on a "private jet." The Marine was from Utah and Salt Lake to be specific. The Marine's family was flown back to Utah on a "private jet" just in time to attend a "special candlelight vigil" being staged at Utah's Capitol and attended by a host of Utah citizens packing flags, sidearms, and enough hypocrisy to fill Rice Eccles Stadium. The Rice Eccles Stadium is where the University of Utah plays football games. Anyway, the candlelight vigil/celebration was attended by ALL of Utah's 'important' elected officials and that's to include Utah's congressional delegation. There was hypocrisy seeping out of just about anywhere on/or near Utah's Capitol. A grander celebration couldn't have been cooked up if there had been advance notice. I'm not certain as to who, or should that read whom, planned this political circus but there it was for all of Utah to see and wonder at. Wonder why in hell such a fuss would be made over this fallen Marine. There have been any number of Utah service members killed in various proxy wars, military actions, covert ops, overt bombings, and war crimes over the years so why now and why with this Marine? I can't seem to find a straight answer from any of Utah's "special" politicos. Oh well. The spectacle was obscene to say the least. Now for some Monday machine art without too much political hypocrisy. I like to leave that to the professional political hypocrites.
