I'll offer up, I don't think Biden understood the ceremony wasn't over, possibly for a couple different reasons. That's not politicizing the event, it's just the simple fact of the matter. People wondered where he was going.Yes, but no. I went back and looked at 4 or 5 ceremonies by Obama. Every single one (I only followed from the award on), had these events. Read the citation, present the medal, clapping, Obama remains on stage, prayer, I moved to the next video. Obama, and I think many of us have a low opinion of him with respect to the military, remained next to the men. He didn't dip out. He even hugged Giunta, but he didn't "award, salute, walk off."
You can edit the video a thousand different ways and it ends the same: Biden moving as fast as we've seen. You can even see a few shocked people watch the president leave. Horrible, classless behavior on the president's part.
Captain Taylor deserved better.
Even Capt Taylor, when the camera zoomed in on him, kind of had a look of, "Huh, that's odd."
