15 September 2012

Sadly, I watched the return of the bodies of the four Americans killed in Libya in the solemn Transfer of Remains ceremony on TV yesterday.

Embarrassingly, I listened to Hillary Clinton give her comments.

I do understand the emotional issues here, but I do have a problem with how Hillary Clinton sounded to me as she delivered parts of her comments (paraphrasing here):

We are sadly gathered here to honor (fill in name here) for their brave service in (fill in place here). They will be missed by (list family names here), etc....

To me, it sounded like she was reading from a 'fill-in-the blank'/'check-the-appropriate-box' form.
