The Obama administration will never be accused of holding military personnel is high regard but this was a slap in the face, according to some.
On Saturday Michelle Obama tweeted a video of “Star Wars” character R2-D2‘s arrival at the White House and the video had people up in arms.
Welcome to the @WhiteHouse, R2-D2. #StarWars pic.twitter.com/LVJZereiUh

Not because the White House has apparently become a promotional machine for Hollywood’s latest blockbuster but because a U.S. Marine had to hold the door open for the character. This on the same day the president ended a press conference by declaring he couldn’t take anymore questions because he had to see the movie. It’s tough to imagine something more disrespectful than having a Marine who puts his life on the line for his fellow citizens being made to play doorman to a make-believe character
Next time it rains, have one of them hold the umbrella for your disrespectful husband. https://t.co/aCQfui4tqh — Brad Thor (@BradThor) December 19, 2015
.@FLOTUS @WhiteHouse I applaud that Marine keeping it together. World leaders sure, but #R2D2? I’d lose it.

@FLOTUS @WhiteHouse Would be better if your husband showed more respect to the military than use them as a prop in this video — NewsTrend (@newstrendweebly) December 19, 2015
