I was a firm believer that the military should be apolitical, however the situation has degenerated to such a degree that as well as being ignorant and incapable of having a foreign policy, Democrats are no longer agreeing to “uphold and defend” either the constitution of the United States, or our nation itself.
The fundamental role of government is to defend the nation from its enemies. But if half of the government not only is unwilling to do this, but supportive of our national enemies, they have lost their legitimacy. Perhaps the defining moment was when they asserted that our ballistic missile defenses against rogue nations was in itself belligerent and must be scrapped.
In reaching this conclusion and voting to suspend our ballistic missile defenses, an act that could cost the lives of millions of our citizens, the Democrat party lost its legitimacy. It is illegitimate to risk the lives of millions on faith in the good will of foreign governments that already slaughter their own people.
What I proposed before is not whimsical. It must be done with absolute tact, and only for this one reason. There is no group among the Democrats willing to support and defend our nation any more. So there is no hope for them to reform from within.
Our military can no longer abide the prospect of being ordered to lay down their arms and surrender to the army of some tyrant, because half of our political leaders no longer think the United States worth defending, and in fact look forward to its downfall.
If they choose to be apolitical in such a situation, then they abandon their posts and throw away their swords.
Then we must respectfully agree to disagree and leave it at that.
