As Dangles noted, I'm all for honoring our fallen service members, but to claim this is an intentional diss should require some proof. Otherwise it's just partisan hay making, which may be even worse...

Washington Navy Yard Shooting - Sept 16 - Flag ordered lowered Sept 17 = 24 hours
Fort Hood Shooting - November 5 - Flag Ordered lowered November 6 = 24 Hours
Boston Marathon Bombing - April 15 - Flag Ordered Lowered on April 16 = 24 Hours
Newtown Shooting - December 14 - Flag Ordered Lowered on December 14 = less that 24 hours
Benghazi Attack - Sept 11 - Flag Lowered on Sept 12 = 24 Hours
Oak Creek Sikh Temple Shooting - Aug 5 - Flag Ordered Lowered Aug 6 = 24 Hours
Aurora Colorado Shooting - July 20 - Flag Ordered Lowered on July 20 = Less than 24 Hours
Tucson Arizona Shooting - Jan 8 - Flag Ordered Lowered on Jan 9 = 24 Hours
is that a good enough sample to show the time frame for such orders.....and does this blow the "Business as Usual" theory out of the water.
I also didn't say it was an Intentional Diss.....I said, and I quote, "he completely #^&#^&#^&#^&-ing dropped the ball there and has No Excuse."
and as much as I don't want to sound like Jim....Try and make that wrong
