I served 22 years in the United States Army through some of the most dangerous times in our lifetime.
I not only went everywhere they told me to go, I volunteered to go where others did not want to go for fear of injury or death.
I did this for love of my country and the defense of freedom for my countrymen.
In my entire career I never feared death because I was a U.S. Soldier and a member of the best trained and equipped military force in the world.
There was one thing I did fear however, and that is that my life would be wasted by a politician.
That I might be sent to some remote piece of ground to die for a political talking point, or worse yet that I might be hamstrung by orders that would not even allow me to defend myself in the face of an attack.
The fear that my children would be fatherless and my wife a widow for a political maneuver. It comes with the turf when you serve your country, but it is always in the back of your mind.
That has happened in Libya and two brave SEALS, a U.S. Ambassador, and another whose name and identity I have not yet heard have not only died, but were murdered in a most disgraceful manner.
And for what?
The failed “Foreign Policy” of Barack Hussein Obama and his Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
It has been disclosed that the brave individuals that died were not even afforded the luxury of ammo with which to defend themselves and our country’s sovereign ground. Perhaps the State Department feared that some of the murderers might be injured unnecessarily?
The events that are unfolding in far-flung reaches of the Islamic world were absolutely foreseeable, and measures have not been taken to defend our sovereignty and protect our personnel that trusted our government to have their back.
Instead, our “Leaders” apologized to the killers.
And our President?
He continues to campaign for re-election as the world burns down around us.
I am appalled, disgusted, and deeply saddened.
COLONEL: HILLARY MADE DECISION NOT TO POST MARINES AT BENGHAZI

The State Department just allowed our guys to get killed. If you approve no bullets in guns for the mission security guards and an outhouse for a mission, you’re inviting it.
Hunt told Breitbart News that the new State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, approved and signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton since the 2011 fall of Khadafi’s regime, severely compromised the safety and security of murdered Ambassador Stevens and all American diplomatic staff in Libya.
Well, well, well
How will they try to spin this. KABOOOOMMM!
My son and I have had the talk. Never enlist in the service of evil.
Leftists are evil.
My son will not be leftist war material.
He is learning trades that do not require large debt.
This is up to us to overcome, not our fine military.
Amen
I could not understand it until I read tonight that Amb. Stevens was a gay man.
Islamists despise homosexuals.
The you tube movie thing did not seem credible. I can understand jihadis plotting to murder a gay US ambassador on 911, the jihadi day of celebration.
I cannot understand why the USA would appoint a gay man ambassador to an Islamist government. Clearly the government does not understand the enemy.
FUBO and FUHC!!!
Liberalism gets people killed...
I did not know he was queer.
Suspected as much, but found nothing related to it.
He was single, graduate for UC Berkley, with all that goes with that.
Not surprising to me at all though.
From Breitbart’s article:
“country will be able to see Hillary Clinton’s signature on the document that served as Ambassador Chris Stevens’s death warrant.”

KABOOOMM!
I saw this link on another thread. I hope it is ok to link Hillbuzz. Mods fussed at me for Alex Jones link already this week. I never know who is on the banned list.
Plausible re homosexual orientation of Stevens. It would explain the attack, death, disappearance, Brutal murder and sodomy, guards running away, etc. Hillary and Obama must have been insane to send a gay man to Bengazi. I lived 3 years in Cairo. There is no tolerance for gay among Islamists.
Correct.
And how does a person get a sensitive job and the security clearance required if he is queer?
There was a time when that was an automatic disqualification. Because of danger of being compromised in the job.
His actions may have been a magnet for this.
However if this country is to survive our soldiers must ignore the ignorant politicians of both parties who are only interested in their reelection.
It is coming down to those who fight and those who don't..

She actually said “All this for a damned flag?”
Yes, I guess my mind chose not to remember the expletive.
They are still Vermin.
See my post #16
Muslims hate westerns people homosexual or not. They essentially disembowled him. Disembowling ones enemies has been standard practice in all primitive and warring societies.
I assure you that you could be as straight as an ruler, you would get the same treatment, and women worse. These people do not see you or me as being human and all and any torture goes.
BTTT
BUMP.
