Saving infidel soldiers’ lives is not a priority of this CinC.

aircraft carriers might be supper to battleships.

This actually says quite the reverse in a humorous way to what I think you meant to say.

“Warfighter” and “Warfighting” - They have such a commie politically correct sound to them.

I suspect these words were made up to help people make presentations, but they are not disguised euphemisms made popular by politically-sensistive-techno-militarists (e.g. "collateral damage"). Words like "battle" and "combat" are apparently no longer sufficient to describe all the different kinds of trouble that can happen to our guys, btw who are not only guys, and in fact some may not even classify as Marines/Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen ( which ones did I leave out?).

The same goes for those working to kill off all the A10s.

These people don’t have Americas and our military’s best interest at heart.

You are correct - and that paragraph sums up treason...or at the very least, unfit for duty. Those louses were thinking of themselves more than they were thinking of their country or the men serving under them.

Any leader who is not willing to sacrifice his own comfort for the safety and well-being of his men, is unfit to lead. Any commander who is more concerned about advancing his career than protecting the lives of his troops, is unfit for command. And any citizen who, for personal gain, actively and knowingly obstructs the use of systems that will demonstrably provide greater support and protection for the country’s armed troops is guilty of treason.
