lauradi7dwFriday the 4th - Senators Coons, Duckworth, and Durbin went out to participate in the dignified transfer. Possibly others, I'm not sure.
UPDATE - yes, confirmed, Trump will be at a golf tournament sponsored by Saudi Arabia instead of at Dover AF base when the "dignified transfer" happens.
Four members of the US Army died (drowned) when their vehicle sank in a peat bog in Lithuania. Whatever their family members expected when they were posted to a base in Georgia was presumably not that. The oldest (who had five children already) was 28. Nobody in the Trump administration seems to give a shit. I bet Donald and Melania will not be at Dover Air Force base when the flag-draped coffins arrive, as Joe & Jill or Bill & Hillary would have been. In the meantime, the people of Lithuania have been making memorials and piling up flowers and stuff, in a kind and sweet way.

I know that lots of our military people die in vehicle incidents and other ways, and we inflict death on people around the world, but this seems unusually pointless and sad to me.
