Why WWII Vets?
Too white, conservative, Christian and American.
Typical leftist Democrat/Liberal HATRED of anybody whose beliefs differ from their communist utopian fantasy programs for the planet.

You are correct sir. Once a Muslim - you know the rest

For all you dhimmis who don’t know the truth prophet of doom is an excellent reservoir to understand the history of this death cult called I- slam ( you’re head into the ground).

And this Muslim lying taqquia-ist. He is something else

I NEVER thought we would see as big a liar as Kling-tong

But it took a Muslim with NO conscience or code of honor to anything except himself and the Ummah

It’s stunning to listen to this guy talk. And disgusting

Parkies know who signs their paychecks & regard “I was only following orders” as a valid excuse.

If the order comes down to treat 90 year olds as “trespassers” & snap the cuffs on, they’ll carry that out to the letter.

“Sorry, Gramps, just doing my job. I got kids to feed.”

My dad was a Doctor of Education. WWII vet. Utah Beach. Sounds like you and I could be siblings.

obama is trying to provoke a “Reichstag Fire” event by antagonizing conservative whites. This is a pattern of behavior, not limited to the closing of the WWII memorial.

Bingo! He will have his martial law declaration by whatever means necessary.

Why? Because they’re easy targets, can be bullied and can’t easily fight back.

In short, because all Obama is, is a bully. If he wasn’t in a position of power, he would be absolutely nothing.

On his father's side, his paternal father was too young to serve in World War II as he was just a boy when the fighting broke out.

His "paternal father"? As opposed to the very unpaternal Barack Sr.?

But his paternal grandfather had fought in World War I, he became bitterly anti-British and converted to Islam following World War II and associated with banned organizations. He was tried for sedition and imprisoned. He refused to give information about the growing insurgency to the colonial westerners, and adopted the name Hussein.

So they say. How much is true and how much is family legend we don't know. When independence came a lot of people invented pasts for themselves to fit into the spirit of the time and benefit from association with rebellious movements.

Yep. If my WWII vet and most beloved limited government Christian conservative dad were alive, he would describe Obama as "an impotent maggot."

Yes, impotent. Whereever I can, I link to the sources of these stories that are popping up on FR on things Obama is doing, and read the comments of MSM consumers. They're as disgusted with, and I quote, "liberals" as we FReepers.

Actually, Joe McCarthy happened, and while that particular phenomenon was going on, the overtly Communist party members were either fired, prosecuted, or managed to conceal their activities sufficiently that their influence was greatly diminished, at least for a while.

But the re-infestation did not take long.

And with International Socialism at a low ebb for the moment, the maggots have turned to the quasi-socialism of Islam.

Yep. That's where I'm talking about. But even saw them down in Newport Beach, in full armor.

That's the place where, four or five years ago, an Asian immigrant "killed a sea lion with a steak knife" while fishing from a pier or a dock (not sure which) because the critter was stealing the fish off his line. The guy was of course villified across the Southland, and I was one of the few who cheered him. His priorities were in the right place. "Protected" sea lions and seals are sinking docks and ruining sailboats, not to mention eating fish and attracting sharks and orcas to the coast.

"Steak knife" !!! {^) Right!!! {^)

It was the part of the group that you describe as those who “managed to conceal their activities sufficiently” that I was thinking of in my comment. Those maggots continued to infest the heart of government, although on a smaller scale, after the housecleaning of the 1950s.

Do you really think any of these NPS Police will do anything that will jeopardize their careers? Like you, I once thought they should and would, but life has taught me differently; let me explain.

I remember back to War Zone C in 1966 when I was assigned to a Special Forces A Camp on the Cambodian border. When the weather was clear and intelligence reports indicated the Viet Cong weren’t in the immediate area, VIPs would occasionally helicopter into our camp for a visit. After our Detachment Commander had briefed them, they would usually stroll around our camp and “inspire the troops” before they departed. One day a visiting Colonel asked me, in passing, “How’s the war going Sergeant?” I’m sure he didn’t expect an answer to his inane question, but I gave him an answer anyway, and it was an ear-full. After he wiped the shocked expression off his face, he smirked and replied, “You just don’t have the Big Picture, Sergeant.” Then, he strutted back to his waiting helicopter, flew back to his big city Headquarters, and left me standing there scratching my head and wondering what he meant by his “Big Picture” response.

It took me a while to determine exactly what the Colonel meant, and when I did figure it out, it was a paradigm-shift that brought the war and the world into focus for me for the first time. That Colonel, and many other officers I served with in Vietnam, only saw the war as a once in a lifetime career opportunity that had to be milked for everything they could possibly squeeze out of it during the brief time they could take credit for its prosecution. As for the Colonel and his entourage visiting our camp, along with other Special Forces Camps along the border, I learned their motive was only to earn Air Medals, as each time they landed in one of our A Camps, they logged it as a Combat Assault.

At first, it was hard for me to understand how these officers could fight a war and nowhere in their agenda would be a priority on closing with the enemy, destroying him and winning the war. History had taught these officers that when the war ended, the ride was over, promotions stopped, the Army downsized, and they would be out of a job. So their priority was to keep the war going until they received their stars and could retire as General Officers. As medals were a sort of insurance against losing their jobs after the war, there were large division sized operations run for no apparent reason other than to justify medals for their senior leadership. There’s no doubt in my mind some of these officers prayed to God every night and beseeched God to “Please don’t end this war before I get my stars.”

I found many, but not all, officers in Vietnam to be career-oriented opportunists who only saw the war as an opportunity to enhance their careers, and they would only do or say whatever was good for their careers. When the war ended, I noticed that those officers who had protected their careers at every juncture managed to remain in the Army and those who had put the prosecution of the war ahead of their careers were caught up in the first Reduction in Force (RIF) and eliminated.

In my day to day interactions with these career conscious officers, I noticed that they considered us Special Forces NCOs to be feeble minded, and they didn’t trust us because we placed no importance at all on our careers. They couldn’t understand how we could be so irresponsible that we wouldn’t take care of ourselves above all else. If we didn’t protect our careers, we wouldn’t have one, and then how would we one day support our family, pay our mortgage, and send our children to college?

No, I don’t think there will be many, if any, NPS Policemen who will endanger their careers and threaten their family’s security over this.
