” What do you know about today’s military? Or yesterdays, for that matter?”
In answer to your questions... I’m a US Navy veteran. I also have a son-in-law in the Army. As a matter a fact...I’ll be at Ft Bragg tomorrow celebrating the Fourth with my daughter and SIL.
I’m VERY proud of our military...but I am extremely upset with the leadership of this country as they weaken and destroy our fighting forces. The PC crowd is slowly sucking the life energy from the very people that have offered their lives to protect our liberty. I get tears in my eyes every time I visit the Vietnam War Memorial. That’s how much I care.
My initial comment was provocative...as evidenced by the return comments from a few unhinged individuals. While my comment was not the only derogatory comment in the thread, mine was the only one that obliquely refered to the recent change in the DADT policy. And, I struck a few nerves. I should probably of used a /sarc tag at the end. No disrespect was meant to the officer that died. I mourn his loss.
I will assume your comments..” While the keyboard smarta@@ talks sh$& about them. Congrats, and thanks for your input. It really adds alot to this discussion.”...weren’t meant in a derogatory way.
If you still think I am not “with the program”...I don’t know what else to tell you.
It is wrong for you to make fun or call our Soldiers “gay,” or say that perhaps a Bn Commander was killed because his homosexual affair with a SPC in his BN was a love or sexual realationship gone wrong.
I hate the leadership of our country as well. Romney probably won’t change the policy of homosexuals serving openly, and that sucks.
Perhaps you have looked at the photo of the murdered BN Commander, and perhaps seen a photo of his Family mourning.
Nobody is ‘unhinged’ here...perhaps if your brave Son in Law was murdered by a fellow Soldier, you would be pretty pi@@ed a stranger insinuated that he was in a gay affair with his murderer? I am sure your daughter would think that was very hurtful, and rightly so.
Thank you for your service, and God Bless your Son in Law. I hope when you were at Ft Bragg you did not stride about sarcastically spouting your homosexual love triangle murder theory- though I doubt you’d be brave enough to do so. People there are respectful of the Military, and those who die in Service.
