This from a retired Marine friend.
IN GOD WE TRUST
SEMPER FIDELIS
More
than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in
the last 27 months. This is more than the combined total of the nine
years before.
Thirty
have died in August. During the last month, over 50 additional NATO
and US servicemen have been murdered, inside jobs by those who are hired
to be a force for good in Afghanistan .
The
commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White
House flag flown at half staff for the Sikhs that were killed. There is
a deep disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against
the indifferent incompetence of this president.
It
has taken on a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do about him, but
the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end in
sight to the idiocy of this war.
Obama
has had 4 years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has
vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our
men and women in uniform.
But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch a massive get out the vote drive against this president.
Not
just current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the
retired, and all other prior service members. This is no small special
interest group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous
impact on the outcome of the November election if they all respond.
The
million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming
victory in that state if they all show up at the polls. It might not
keep another one hundred U.S. troops from dying between now and
November, but a turn out to vote by the military against this heart
breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a
change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just lets our
soldiers die.
