This is what a REAL martyr looks like. Someone who courageously saves lives instead of taking lives like a coward.
Rest Well.
your blind hatred for liberals got you so twisted up that you're seeing arguments where none exist. Seek help.If you die, while a cadet... in uniform, performing a brave and heroic act - you should be recognized for your deeds.
I know you guys have a tendency to hate American heroes and patriots, but this kid died a hero, and deserves to be buried with full honors.
How can you be against this?
Because he pointed?
Onions man...
I'm chopping onions right now..
R.I.P. Hero.
He was not in the military, so no. It's no disrespect, but that's just not how it works. I'm 100% for giving this kid a send-off he deserves though. Bring plenty of LEO's and military too. Have the JRTOC Honor Guard perform the ceremony.
No disrespect intended, but if a someone who served in the military but never saw combat and died in an accident could be buried with military honours - why not this kid?
Because they were in the military and this young man was not?
Because he pointed?
He was a member of an Federal program sponsored by the Military. No one can know if he would have gone on to serve in the Military, but had he chosen to do so, the courage and selflessness he displayed indicates he probably would have been a good soldier.
Yes, he wasn't a serving Soldier, Marine or Airman. But are you really saying someone who joins up, never hears a shot fired in anger and dies in a tragic accident deserves a military funeral, but this kid doesn't? The kid wasn't under orders to hold a position. He had minimal training, no experience of combat and no way to defend himself. He still held open a door and let other kids escape, when he could have ran for his life. And no one would have blamed him.
Refusing to bury they kid with military honours because he was killed before he even had a chance to serve is just pettiness.
I can see both sides of the coin, either way as long as they are recognized
The Army Is Officially Honoring Three Slain JROTC Cadets For Their Heroism During The Florida Shooting

That’s exactly what I’m saying. He still wasn’t in the military. Anything further than that is speculation. Now if they decided to give him a funeral emulating military honors, I’m not gonna be upset at all. Just my opinion.
Give him a funeral conducted by the JROTC honor guard. Military honors are for those who have served in the military and heads of state. Nothing more, nothing less. And yes, I am an Army vet.
Full honors.
Of course all of the liberals will be against it though.
I disagree. Particularly about giving funerals with full military honours to heads of state. That would included Trump himself, who dodged the draft for Vietnam. This kid showed more personal courage than The Donald has ever done.
Still, to each their own. And thank you for your service.
