OBAMA’S WAR -PART TWO
One of my friends, Ron Jenkins, neighbors sent this to him. It was deeply motivated to post this message. C Brewer
It is compelling and bodes not well for our President in November’s election, at least not amongst a certain segment of the population. And, no, he doesn’t purport to speak for all military services or retiree’s; no one could or should do that.
The following was written by one of my former students. When I knew him, he was sixteen years old. I lost track of him when I left Virginia in 1966, but I never forgot him, and I always wondered if his name was on that black, granite wall in Washington, DC. I found him a couple of years ago, thanks to Face Book and when we reconnected, he told me about his service in Vietnam and about all the boys I had taught, who came home in body bags.
This is not something that has been forwarded over and over but something that Bob wrote on the afternoon of Sept 14th. He comes from a long line of military men who served their country and were proud to do so. Now his son is scheduled to go to Afghanistan in a few months. His niece will leave in a few weeks. I promised him I would forward it. I owe him and all those other kids, that much. It’s the least I can do.
He writes:
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.
The commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown at half-mast for some of the local Sihks that were killed by the Taliban insurgents.
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 man who just lets our soldiers die.
Thanks Ron

The past several elections the demcrats have done many mean spirited things to keep all overseas Military Ballots from being counted. They have proposed that our Military should pay their own Insurance. They have shown disrespect for our Military and this should be stopped. VOTE.
Being a veteran I agree with your comments. If these cowards had to serve in the military they would have a different approach. I feel we need at six months of discipline mandatory before any American is allowed to vote or attend college.
