Should flags be flown at half mast for the four Marines and one Sailor killed in the workplace violence incident in Chattanooga?

We can't expect President Obama to call the families of the dead people, as they did not show the same courage as Kaitlyn Jenner, but would it be too much to ask that we fly the flags at half staff until their funerals are over?

They weren't black, so their lives don't matter to me. Besides, I've always hated those who defend freedom.

Obama does not want to make George W Bush look bad. After Bush got 4,486 American service personnel killed for nothing and sent the families nothing more than a letter signed with a signature machine.

Yes , right after the event for 24 hours. They were killed in a terrorist attack on US soil because they were US military.

Too late now

The Marines & sailor killed were not "principal figures of the United States Government", so no, the US flag should not be flown at half mast in their honor.

"FLYING THE FLAG AT HALF-STAFF: The pertinent section of the Flag Code says, "by order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of a State, territory, or possesion, as a mark of respect to their memory. In the event of the death of other officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at half-staff according to Presidential orders, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with law.

In the event of the death a present or former official of the government of any State, territory, or possession of the United States, the Governor of that state, territory, or possession may proclaim that the National flag shall be flown at half-staff." The code also includes other related details including the specific length of time during which the flag should be displayed at half-staff, in the event of the death of a "principal figure"(e.g., 30 days for the death of a sitting or former President, 10 days for the death of a sitting Vice-President,etc.)."

Obama had to be told to fly the flag at half staff. He has no patriotic instinct and is naturally hostile to the military. Obama sucks Muslim cock.

Lots of workplace violence incidents in this list of shootings on military installations.

http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/A-History-of-Shootings-at-Military-Installations-in-the-US-223933651.html

Almost all the shootings were done by active soldiers and vets.

He finally ordered it today. Like he said, he's got a phone and a pen and he's not afraid to use them.

Once the polls told him to. Besides, he only did it for Abdulazeez anyway.

As a lawyer, I would like to get an official ruling from the Supreme Court on the meaning of principal figure. I am sure the court has plenty of time to look into this important issue.
