Obama is going to do everything he can to make this guy look good. He knows he just freed a deserting coward. This makes me sick. Some days, I am sick that I even served in the US military much less retired from it. The garbage that officers and NCOs are doing today to get promotions is beyond pale. They kiss the liberals butts for the next grade in rank. This makes me sick. Over 200 have been sent packing because they don’t follow the king’s edicts and we get this kind of garbage in the military being haled as some stinking hero. I am sick of this guy. He will come home to his Muzzie loving daddy and be a muzzie hero. I hope lighting hits them both.
Bttt
You got it right with your first line. We have turned from God. This puke in the WH is what America wanted and he is what God gave us for our sins. We are being punished and God is taking away His hand of protection. So, we have Obama. God did the same thing to Israel when they would not listen to Him or turned from Him. Why should we be any different. We are getting our punishment. And we deserve it.
Why Qatar ... maybe there are some answers in this link ... http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/f2d9bbc8-bdbc-11e2-890a-00144feab7de.html
I know an airline pilot who is a high ranking officer. He volunteered for a year in Afghanistan. When he came home his whole town, including the police and fire department, held a celebration. America is still out there.
It has hit me between the eyes the last few weeks, Sky Pilot, that conservatives are really good at talking. We talk a great game.
If the conservatives of this nation wanted to go door to door to talk sense to people at voting time, we could cover the entire nation in a week.
Heck, if conservatives on Free Republic gave as well as they talked, the freepathons would be over in a matter of hours.
Amen.
Sleeping on watch in a war theater is I believe a capital offense. It risks the lives of other soldiers. I believe if sleeping on watch is proven to lead to the deaths of other soldiers, then death by firing squad is the likely outcome. Bergdahl’s punishment was relatively light.
I can’t argue with you. Obama is who they voted for. That makes Obama who they deserve.
But the rest of us want to turn this ship in another direction.
Sleeping on watch is a punishable offense, and in combat, it can be punishable by death. Normally, though, squad and platoon sergeants don’t elevate it. They take care of it in-house by doing what Bergdahl was complaining about....extra duty, loss of privilege, etc.
It’s actually the NCO being a good guy, good leader. You’ve got to be an idiot not to recognize the guy is (1) saving your bacon, and (2) actually teaching you something very serious that you need to learn before someone gets killed.
Two times in the Old Testament, the Apostle Paul addresses conduct similar to what the people of the United States are engaged today. Each time he ended with God's response to said conduct. In the Book of Romans, he wrote that God gave them over to a reprobate mind and the book of 2nd Thessalonians he wrote that He[God] sent a deluding spirit that those who refused to believe the Truth would believe a lie, and be damned.
That I believe is where we stand today. He has kept a remnant for Himself, but the majority will damn themselves.
Others may believe different and that is their right and privilege.
Today, we have the Right to worship according to the dictates of our own consciouses, we may not to be able to tomorrow, but we can today.
You asked "What has happened to our Nation?" In my opinion, we as a Nation, have turned our back on God and in return, He has turned His back on our Nation.
And 0 broke the law to get the deal done.
Thank you for filling in the background and thanks to Michelle Malkin for bringing out the detail of sleeping on watch.
Sleeping on watch is serious and in this case should be headline news.
I could not have said it better, and especially with your outstanding Scripture references.
Bulls-eye, bro. Bulls-eye.
But... but... all those Swift Boat guys were liars! Did you know that John Kerry was a decorated Viet Nam War hero?
Sleeping on guard??!! THAT’S a contradiction in terms AND a hanging offense.
Wow, if he was MY comrad in arms I’D want him OUT too!
Only once?
