We are lost as a country when we SACRIFICE our best not to offend muslims.

The ROE should be:

Close with the enemy by fire and maneuver and destroy them and their will to fight.

Any questions?

I have known only two people that were put in for the Blue Max. One a Platoon Sgt who took command of a Cav Troop and fought it after the Command was Killed or Wounded and the other was a Tanker in that Troop that broke up an attack and killed an impressive amount of the enemy.

The first was down graded to a DSC and the second to a SS, we figured that only living Officers got the Blue Max. That was 44 years ago.

A misfire from his handgun saved his life. God’s clearly not letting him out of his contract on life yet. How many others are hanging by a thread in these trying times that will get worse before better?

Sadly, I fear there are many and it won't get any better until the current CinC and commanders who worship him are gone.

Hopefully, he will win his battle with his demons.

You really think there are some that don’t? What about the repeal of DADT and the current ROE?

Incredible heroism by Meyers.

Pure treason by oblastard and his admin.

FUBO.

Do you think Dakota Meyer worships obama? Why did Romney win the military vote?

I know quite a few military people....sailors soldiers and marines. And they are not obama worshippers and neither are the captains and commanders I have worked for. Now....are you going to answer my question?

I guess I should have been clearer and said top commanders and didn't believe anyone would consider that I meant low level commanders and especially NCOs.

Marine Gen. James T. Conway is definitely one commander that doesn't worship Obama, he was the only one to speak out against DADT.

The denial of fire support was -directly- the fault of Petraeus orders. He issued the no support orders after he replaced McChrystol. But i’m sure he ran it by Lt col Paula Broadstone first.
