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.
Veterans: Please forward
to your lists. High Priority!
