Ironic, I don't think he saw the first photo which caused all the fuss. The second photo would have stayed hidden had he not chimed in.
There were a couple of others that I saw floating around.
I think it was the one of her "tailgating" the funeral.
It's one thing to get a bite to eat on the run, especially if you have more than one service to tend to that day. But it's still in poor taste to publicize the joke comparing it to a ball game (which she apparently was in a hurry to get back to). It's all about poor taste, and failing to maintain good order and discipline.

I wonder if this will affect Guard funding now, with all the cuts being made...
Fucking A.
Not unless people stop dying.
You don't need to worry about it, you need to be concerned with getting through all your training before funding really hits you.
Being that these pictures were of soldiers in uniform with messages of distaste and disrespect toward not only our dead but our branch of service. I am all for hitting them with a article 15 for conduct unbecoming, followed by a bad conduct discharge.
These soldiers all need to be made the example, publicly and without mercy of any kind. The National Guard has the ability to do the right thing here, show that we as a service do have discipline and respect, and will not tolerate a lack there of from our soldier, especially with something as sacred as honoring our dead.
As for the bitch who posted that shit, bad conduct her ass out, strip any and all benefits to include education and let her live with her stupidity.

I'm not too worried about it as I enlisted in the Army and ship out in a few weeks, but it's just another reason for the Feds to cut funding to the guard by implying if they can't recruit good people. Not saying that the entirety is that way, not at all, but heavy cuts are being made and this is a critical point of our national defense.
They won't make a cut like that, since the NG has too much of a purpose for each state; not to mention that the NG and Reserves will be the fall-back piece of ass when they run out of AD to fuck over with the Big Green Weenie. Gross misconduct of a bunch of undisciplined junior enlisted won't be a reason to tighten the drawstrings. It could be a bludgeon with which to beat GO's over the head with later on, but not a reason to cut funds.

Research project for ya!
What was MSARNG's budget for the 5 years that preceded 9/11? What was the manpower? What has it been since?
If rates of both return to pre-9/11, did a cut occur or was it just a return to pre-war levels?
Hint: you may or may not score points with @x SF med , after all, YOU are asking to join his ranks, they didn't ask you.

Another reason to put combat arms into the Reserves. What Governator WOULDN'T want a SF company at his disposal?

I did this while on AD as a collateral. I really don't know how they could be so callous. I never had the honor to conduct a ceremony on a soldier from my generation. Most of the men I helped honor were WW2 and Vietnam vets that had passed. But during those ceremonies you could see and feel the air of sadness and remorse. I felt a unique sense of pride and was always tasked with handing the flag to the family member. My voice cracked every time when I thanked them. How can anyone act in such a fashion at a funeral, much less that of a fallen veteran. I honestly feel those that participated should be fucking shitcanned with dishonorable. Fuck em.
Does the Guard need to be eady at a moments notice?
Using them as Strategic Reserve means having 90 days to do a work up.
Guard guys/gals also need to aknowldge that their leadership failed them when OIF/OEF were in full effect.
I think pre-9/11 most Guard units were a lot more than 90 days away from being prepared...
