America Gets A Boost With The Killing Of Bin Laden
The Silent Majority ^ | 05-03-11 | J. D. Longstreet

I doubt we will ever know who pulled the trigger on Bin Laden. It would be more than stupid to release the name of the Seal trigger man, or any of the American troops participating in the raid that took down America’s most wanted criminal. It would, of course, lay them and their families open to retribution from terrorists for the remainder of their days.

Having said that, we urge the President to award ALL those troops with the highest decoration he possibly can — in secret.

The assassination of Bin Laden gave Americans a sorely needed morale boost. It was a reminder that even though America is undergoing one of the greatest financial and political trials of its history, we STILL have the capability of fighting three overt wars and one covert war — simultaneously. No other country on earth can do that. In other words, it sends a clear message to our enemies and detractors. Don’t mess with America. If you do, you had better be prepared to pay an awful price.

American Special Forces are, indeed, special. I am only about an hour’s drive from one of their training facilities and let me tell you, they are held in very high regard here.

I had the privilege of being acquainted with a couple of Special Forces men and both were exemplary young men — both family men and both religious men who took their faith seriously.

The US military is still the best on earth. Those rough men allow us to sleep peacefully in our beds at night.

I must tell you that I am worried that the change up at the Defense Department and the CIA may weaken the US Armed Forces and our intelligence community.

“Between the death of bin Laden and the marriage of Kate Middleton and Prince William,” Kimmel said, “it’s an exciting time to be in the commemorative plate business.”
