Meanwhile, responding to a question by NBC White House reporter Peter Alexander, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest refused to explain why President Obama hasn’t ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in reaction to the attack in Chattanooga, reports Brietbart. We must do better as Americans, especially the military.

Marcus Luttrell, a retired Navy SEAL whose story became the bestselling book Lone Survivor and a movie with Mark Wahlberg, also took to Facebook on Monday night to call on the president to lower the flag.
I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities overseas, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
DesJarlais, who represents some of the suburban areas surrounding Chattanooga, told Fox Business Network host Stuart Varney that a flag lowering “needs to happen, and it needs to happen soon…”
The governors of Tennessee, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arkansas and Massachusetts are among the leading politicos who’ve ordered US flags to half-mast, in honor of the killed Marines. We must do better for all Americans, especially our military. He says the USA honors the four Marines and one sailor killed. “And you will not change our way of life”.

Many lists include the victims of the Fort Hood shooting at the hands of Nidal Hasan, which in fact Obama did NOT order flags at half-staff, and so far as I write this, Obama has yet to order flags at half-staff for the shooting victims of Chattanooga by Mohammad Abdulazeez. If we get the whole country to do it the president might get the message. We have indeed been conquered. “As a grateful nation, we must stand up for them and honor them now and forever”.
