Just viewed some then and now pix of the Normandy Beaches. I doubt if we have the kind of “citizens” today who could and would make that kind of a sacrifice for liberty, or the military leaders to provide the requisite direction.

When you are drafted, you didn't volunteer. You were fodder.

We do have incredibly patriotic men and women in our military who would do anything to defend our traditions and values.

We have an internal war going on and not just with the democrats. This started with George H.W. Bush ‘Bush the Elder’ and his ‘Moderate’ Rockefeller-Republican approach to governing. His mistakes led to Clinton and Clinton led to ‘Bush the Younger’ who succumbed to the RINO Moderate wing of the party. That led to Obama who was opposed by two Moderate RINOs, McCain and Romney. So now we have got to ‘purge’ these losers from our party so that we will have our party back for winners.

Our enemies are the democrats and the GOP establishment. If we don’t take out BOTH, we are lost for the 2016 cycle.

When Bush was POTUS it made some sense, because there was no ISIS in control of that part of Iraq.

As usual, BO hides behind the "Bush's fault" excuse when it suits him and ignores precedent when it does not.

First off, it is not Bush's fault or Obama's fault and I don't hear Obama blaming Bush.

The second thing, ISIS is in control only because the Iraqi Sunnis go along with him. Without the Iraqi Sunnis support in Iraq, ISIS would not be a player.

“When you are drafted, you didn’t volunteer. You were fodder.”

That may have been true for some, but I know my own father (when I was barely a year old), went down and enlisted in the US Navy a day or two after Pearl Harbor. He was gone for four years! And while he was fortunate enough not to be wounded, he had “jungle rot” and a host of other problems for the rest of his life from being in the Philippines.

“Our enemies are the democrats and the GOP establishment. If we don’t take out BOTH, we are lost for the 2016 cycle.”

You need to add in the US Chamber of Communists, but otherwise you are 100% correct. I am waiting to see what ends up happening in Mississippi. That needs to end very badly for the GOPe and Haley (Boss Hogg) Barbour.
One of Ronald Reagan’s major mistakes was allowing himself to be co-opted into bringing GHWB onto his ticket.

“If the oil gets partitioned, there will be continuous war over the oil.”

Well, the war has started despite the “Bush Policy.”
