“You know when I was a kid growing up a lot of things were sacred in our country. Women were sacred, looked upon with great honor. That’s obviously not the case anymore as we see from recent cases. Life, the dignity of life, was sacred. Religion, that seems to be gone as well. Gold star families, I think that left in the convention over the summer. I just thought the selfless devotion that brings a man or a woman to die on the battlefield, I just thought that might be sacred.”
Kelly went on to say that he told the president what Kelly’s friend Marine Gen. Joe Dunford told him when Kelly’s own son died.
“He said, ‘Kel, he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. He knew what he was getting into by joining… that 1 percent. He knew what the possibilities were, because we’re at war. And when he died… he was surrounded by the best men on this earth, his friends. That’s what the president tried to say to four families the other day.”
Wow. This is must watch video. General Kelly talks about American heroes in a way that only the father of an American hero, and a hero himself, can express.
*** PIG DEMOCRAT STOOGE ***
If you haven’t seen this go do it...it’s a must watch
You could tell he was speaking from the heart.
I cannot imagine anyone making commentary on words of sympathy spoken in times of grief. It just isn't a time to be grading the words; it's the emotion that the grieving person is focused on.
Watched it twice. A powerful slam at the lefts entire philosophy of degrading what we hold sacred in this country.
That was perhaps the most powerful thing I’ve listened to in my life. Nothing scripted. Just speaking from the heart.
Two things that stand out for me....
1. The very end of his appearance when he says that he feels sorry for them because they’ve never served ... If that wasn’t an absolute smack in the chops, I don’t know what is.
2. That POS congresswoman doesn’t give a sh*t about any of it. She’s a hoodrat that has, not one ounce of shame in her being. She thought she’d be able to get some political mileage out of this and it blew completely up in her face. Forget about her trying to attack the President with this charade. How dare she use the death of this soldier as a political tool. She used his family as political tools. It should be considered unbelievable, but anyone that has every worked in the ghetto knows, that people like her have no shame, no matter what. She’ll just go on wearing her ridiculous hats and proving to the world, what a moron she is.
What this woman did is awful, just awful.
I guess there aten’t any more Barbar Jirdans anywhere...
Only a Gen. Kelly could make such a powerful presentation and attempt to educate the lamestream media.
Thanks for posting.
bttt
Taking Chance was an unforgettable movie. I just watched Gen. Kelly’s comments & I’m still crying.
After watching this I will take any criticism of Gen. Kelly with a huge grain of salt.

Does anyone know exactly how the Congresswoman was enabled to listen in?
Mesmerizing....
It’s no surprise that the Dems have used the death of this American Soldier for political purposes. After all, these are the same people who used Senator Paul Wellstone’s memorial service in 2002, to hold a political pep rally.
Outstanding !
