He had a story about Troop Morale and then suddenly switched back to a headline from yesterday about gold.
It’s back.
Morale improved?...............
You may need to clear your cache.
Drudge hammering troop morale....
Damaged troop morale that leads to reduced re-ups and enlistment is Obama’s plan. It’s working.
reload..it’s there
*gasp*

American troops in Afghanistan losing heart, say army chaplains

Ok...I see it’s back...thank you!

“Troop Morale Falling” still up
(Lord in Heaven, how could anyone expect morale to stay up when their buddies die screaming for fire support that obama ROE prohibits and never comes?)
If I were in the military, and had a CIC like Barry0 who’s at best indifferent to military issues - my morale would be swirling a porcelain vessel, about to exit the bottom portal too.
>Damaged troop morale that leads to reduced re-ups and enlistment
Yep, but there’s other reasons for it, too.
(Like the do-what-I-say-not-what-I-do leadership or the “go fight for freedom, justice, democracy, etc...” and then coming back and realizing how tyrannical, unjust, and corrupt our own government is.)
This whole presidential gig of his is all about him and his creepy czars and their Socialist agenda to destroy America, it's military, it's economy, and it's will to lead in the world.
Obama lacks leadership and a strategy for victory, so of course morale is gonna tank.
“You coming to Latin music night this weekend at the White House? It’s going to be fun!”
“Mr. President, I came to tell you that more troops died in Afganistan today.”
“Great! Invite their families to the party this weekend. That should make them feel better. Make sure we’ve got some local brews on tap! You’re dismissed.”
It’s back and the story is heartbreaking.
I’m just waiting to see how the foul mouthed idiots over at the DUmp are going to spin this as Bushes fault.

I’m surprised the relatives of recently killed armed forces personel are not tearing down the White Hut’s fences.
Yes the story is heartbreaking and one that needs to be heard around the country. If we (the government) can’t support these troops in the way they should....if the commanders can’t fight the fight as it should be then I’m all for bringing them home. There is no point in half-heartedly fighting.....losing men.....with no concise plan in place and a willingness of our CIC to do what is necessary. I can’t imagine how the parents/families feel who have sons/daughters fighting over there...besides worrying about their safety they now have to face the fact that all is not being done that should be with low morale on the part of the troops......no parent wants to hear this.
We need a Commander in Chief- not an insurance salesman!
Obama hasn’t even held a pep rally with the troops! He’s too busy partying with the snooty Brie and Chablis crowd.
