The fraud in the WH who is in control of the US military is rumored to be a Muslim. His military dictates demonstrate without question that he cares more about any Muslim than he does for any Americans.
Only al Qaeda inside the White House (by undocumented
fraud) could get the PENTAGON to arm the armies
that attacked it (al Qaeda for those not paying attention).
History will show that the Pentagon PROTECTED Hasan
more than the Ambassador.
It's not all Hussein's fault. The ROE under Bush was pretty bad as well. All of our leaders (and Obama) will sacrifice as many Americans as uit takes to appease the PC Gods.
I’ll say this much-the left has surely put our military in a “damned if they do/damned if they don’t” spot. For just one instance-this would be a great time for all those “socially engineered” military members to step up to the combat plate, but it would also put the only people who could really fight the enemy if their hands weren’t tied, in jeopardy. White males could stop joining, but then our military is useless. All the women who say they want to be in combat (for promotion, is the true reason) could go fight, but they’d endanger already endangered troops.
For those readers who served in Vietnam - there is nothing new to be read here.
The man on the front lines who is risking everything is controlled by a thing in the rear that is risking nothing.
The worse thing a warrior can ever see is another warrior who has changed because of his promotion and become a REMF of a perfumed prince and is making decisions for his personal promotion vice keeping is ex-superiors and ex-subordinates alive.
And, unfortunately this track was entirely predictable from the outset.
If I were king, everyone who desires to write the rules of engagement, military or civilian, male or female, would get to field test his proposed rules for six months as the point man. But then, that would clear out too many REMFs/perfumed princes and how would the military bureaucratic empires ever survive?
The JCS should have resigned long ago. That would have started the dominoes tumbling that would have brought this administration down. Too late now. The general staff is full of 0-appoinred wimps and careerists. Even CMC is a worthless punk.
They’ve got a point, IMHO. The U.S. military is being Benghazied.
You can't have a strategy without a goal. What's the goal in Afghanistan? Secure the minerals for Red China? Keep the opium flowing?
And, so far, without any consequences from the military. Obama has spent serious time and resources remaking the US military into a force that is loyal to him. Has he succeeded is an open question. Will they follow him, no matter what the orders?
“Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy.” — Henry Kissinger
When I was in the military, I never met one, not one, Veteran who enlisted to fight for Socialism.
Obama has had neither the political gonads or the moral decency to have admitted that any continued sacrifice of American lives in Afghanistan would be, and has been dishonorable once he quit caring about any true success there.
His half-hearted commitment to a surge there was just that, half-hearted, forcing politics in the Pentagon to please him to accept less of a ommitment than they knew was needed. As his half-hearted commitment proved it was not going to succeed, it became CYA time for the PR machines at the Pentagon and the WH, just until they could pull out and call defeat - returng the Taliban to the position of ascendent power in Afghanistan - a “victory”.
Like Eastwood said, Obama is a hoax.
I say all this because had Obama had the moral clarity to take the political hits from ending - immediately, any pretense that he was committed to any real victory in Afghanistan, it would have bumped him up a few notches in stature. Instead, he fulfilled my expectations of him, which were very low.
Was any of our wartime successes in the past inevitable? No. They succeeded when our commitment knew no bounds. In WWII we succeded because we were committed enough to winning that we chose to throw everything we could into doing that. Any “superior tactics” or equipment were a result of that commitment, a response to that committment, without which many of them would never have arisen. I have firmly believed that only such a committment was going to clean house in Afghanistan, but neither administration wanted to or believed they would succeed at asking for it. So they made a good “coaltion of the willing” show of it, but, in my mind, have seldom been fully committed to it - at least not as much as their PR machines would have us believe.
Obama is culling our military with his muslim friends. Tie their hands and make them easier targets, string em up if they violate tighter ROE.
It sucks when your boss hates you, but it really sucks when he actively tries to get you killed.
Fight to win, or get out. We have a stupid s**t as Commander In Chief.
Actually, this individual died to fight for international corporations and their profits, whether he realizes it or not.
Bin Laden would have been killed by SF’s in a week if it were a real military operation.
/W: “He’s not even on the radar (referring to OBL). Now, watch this drive...” (Golf!!!!)
//That was recorded.
As long as the federal government is thoroughly corrupt, supporting the mission of defending the federal government is useless. At this time, we cannot expect the federal government to protect the citizen, the reality is that the citizen is the target.
There are really only two reasons to join the military at this time. Subverting those in the military that are promoting the internationalist and anti-constitutional agenda, and learning skills useful for the future. Might I suggest sniper and explosives training.
Boys, time to come home and clean house. Alot of good Americans are waiting for the purge. And that purge is not what the boys and girls in DC are expecting.
We need you men and women in uniform to lead the way. True America is waiting for the second American revolution to begin!!!!
I commanded a rifle company in Vietnam in 1971. My First Sergeant was a veteran of WWII, Korea, and was on his third tour in Vietnam. Two of my three platoon sergeants had 8-10 years service. The rest of the company, including the Lieutenants, had less service than did I and most were younger. I was 23 with just over two years service.
None of them wanted to be the last guy to die in Vietnam. Except for myself and those mentioned above, they were all draftees. They were two and done, counting the days until their DEROS (Date Estimated Return Overseas) and ETS (Estimated Termination Service). They weren’t estimates.
We had some pretty crazy Rules of Engagement (ROE) back then too, and I had to work hard to overcome some of the restrictions that we faced. I didn’t like killing unarmed civilians even though many of them were busy planting booby traps (IED’s). It bothered me and it wasn’t the way to win an insurgency. But, the enemy was fair game and if some staff weenie in Saigon put an obstacle in my path, we found a way around it. I figured that every one of their guys that we killed was one less who could kill one of my guys.
What amazes me to this day is how wonderful those draftees were. Sure, there were some losers among their ranks, but most continued to be good soldiers regardless of the circumstances and for the most part, took care of the losers themselves.
Those trying times were the beginnings of my cynicism about politicians. It was mild compared to today.
After Benghazi, they should have figured this out.
