If it was required, there would be no honor in doing so.
FDR was in a wheelchair so he didn't get out much, but his wife attended many arrivals when it needed doing like after a big battle.
Johnson did, Nixon did, Carter was there when the dead arrived who were killed in Iran, Reagan was there when the 400 were killed in his mistake, Bush Sr was there many times in Reagan's place and when he was president. Bill Clinton was there when the dead came back from Africa.
Only Bush Jr doesn't give a thought to the suffering of others, and wouldn't know what to do about it if he did. And besides he is too busy riding bikes and cutting wood to take time off for anything short of a Terry Schievo grandstand play.
And NOBODY hid the dead from the press, or said that They could not attend the arrival of the dead and wounded...till now.

Yeah, and that i might choose to be attentive to how lots of the troop funerals Lyndon Johnson attended after he escalated Vietnam? what number funeral of the lifeless troops did Roosevelt attend in WWII? there have been such dissimilar lifeless then that he does not have been waiting to maintain up! Did he deliver somebody to signify him, then? i don't think of so. it somewhat is unrealistic, it extremely is the biggest to thinking liberal, to anticipate a President to attend each and every funeral of a lifeless soldier, sailor and marine for the time of a time of conflict. that doesn't propose that the President does not lament each and each demise that occurs, the two militarily and civilian, yet quite those of the army. To think of the rest is, back, to be unrealistic. Amen to Stone!! what number funerals has Rosie attended if she thinks it could be finished? she will handle to pay for it. No, she in simple terms sits at that table and insinuates that the troops are the genuine terrorists and then assaults everyone who recalls her asserting it!

no. Thats just a moronic idea. Did FDR go to the funerals for the thousands of marines killed in one day on Iwo Jima? Heres a little heads up for all the misguided libs out there... call it cruel, but soldiers die. Believe it or not, that is there ultimate job. Thats why we give them guns. Its all right there in the first few weeks of training! In fact, the recruitment offices have pictures of men with guns right on the wall. So, saying a president should go to soldiers funerals is really silly. Its not practical. nobody should die in a perfect world, but this world is far from perfect and when push comes to shove, soldiers die. It is there ultimate job duty. They know it, yet still sign up. The only people who don't seem to grasp that principle are people who never served and never would.

Required ? NO !!
FDR didn't attend soldiers funerals... most President's don't.
It is intrusive to the family of the soldier, it is an incredible COST to transport and guard the President, and the President has work to do.
The President IS responsible for attending and conducting Memorial and Veteran's Day's observances !!
*note- I said the observances, because they are NOT holidays in most veteran's eyes... they are HOLY days

A President's job is to run the country and do whatever it takes to protect it although he has been to many of the soldiers funerals and has met with many of their families. You see President Bush is REAL and he has faith that God will show him the right direction in all things.

That is unrealistic given the number of military personnel killed during a war. The President wouldn't have time for anything else.

Are you a nut? First , I signed my own contract.NO one had a gun to my head.
Second, with your reasoning, why stop with servicemen? How about all of the Cops, Firemen, Parameds, that are killed everyday in America??
Heck everyone that is killed by the weather.... we all know he causes all of the bad storms??
Why don't you attend a few, of better yet, get down to the recruiting office and join yourself.....Let me know where you live and I'll be glad to contact the recruiter for you.

Nope why should he? Do you attend every single one of even your relatives funerals? No you don't. You have so many that you don't even know most of them so until you attend all of your own family funerals plus my family's funerals you can't complain.

Oh Yeah! That's why we elect them, to attend funerals instead of leading the Country.

Not that I don't think this is warranted, but based on the number of soldiers needing funerals, and only one President, Dubydubya would never have time for anything else (like planning his next assault on the middle east!)
