It’s an Obama World… US Troops Put on Drinking, Eating Restrictions for Ramadan
Gateway Pundit ^ | 06/26/2015 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 06/27/2015 12:39:15 PM PDT by aimhigh

The Weekly Standard reported:

A top commander in southwest Asia reminded U.S military personnel stationed in Muslim countries in the Middle East of the restrictions placed on them during Ramadan. According to a report by the U.S. Air Forces Central Command Public Affairs, Brig. Gen. John Quintas, 380th Air Expeditionary Wing commander in Southwest Asia, said that the U.S. is “committed to the concepts of tolerance, freedom and diversity.”

But he added that soldiers should “become more informed and appreciative of the traditions and history of the people in this region of the world… [R]emember we are guests here and that the host nation is our shoulder-to-shoulder, brothers and sisters in arms, risking their lives for our common cause to defeat terrorism.”

Donald Trump is sounding better and better every day. I won’t hold my breath waiting for the other Republican contenders to speak out.

Read the article. The title is very misleading - I saw nothing in the article that says are troops are having to abide by the food restrictions.

I don’t think it serves our purpose to start lying to ourselves - it only undermines us.

Obama has no Constitutional right to FORCE his
religion down the throats of Americans ... but
The GOP gave him ObamaCARE, ObamaTRADE, RomneyMarriage,
Amnesty, Incurable Disease Quartering, and
permits his IRS and DOJ abuses every single week.

Obama is speeding up the transformation of America
to an Islamic state with whites the slaves to illegals
and blacks, while they are allowed to murder and rape.

“Thanks” to the GOP, this cannot end well.

This is the government forcing our troops to comply with the rules of a religion they don’t practice, and to me violates the U.S. Constitution.

U.S. is “committed to the concepts of tolerance, freedom and diversity.”

Seeing how we are dying in their country to help them it seems THEY are the ones that should be tolerant.

There were no ramadama ding ding dong restrictions when I was in Afghanistan. But, then again, we had a real president at the time.

So a Snickers at noon probably ain’t in the cards? Maybe to help celebrate we should all not eat or drink between sunup and sundown. Nah. Pizza Hut-——incoming.

Remember we are guests here....

When is someone going to make all of the people flooding into the U.S. remember that THEY are guests here and quit forcing their crappy beliefs on us?

"We are guests here".

Guests? (I would run, not walk, out the "host's" door.)

Aside from Ted Cruz, he’s the only one campaigning for my vote. Pretty scary in a Republican field of two dozen.

Remember, Obama has been in office for more than 6 years. Every single one of those troops enlisted or re-enlisted under Obama.
