It may be a small thing, but words still have meaning. The Navy has global reach and does lots of good things, but to describe it as a "Global Force" seems to me to misrepresent what is an American force, whose members are sworn to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution:
"Enlistment Oath. Each person enlisting in an armed force shall take the following oath: "I, ______, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
We do not take an oath to be good Samaritans, although our duties may sometimes involve humanitarian missions. We take the oath to defend and protect the U.S.A. and its citizens and ads like this undercut that mission.
Keep Faith with the Fallen of Benghazi! Let the Obama Regime, for once, tell the Truth!
Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
