Now I understand! For years, many veterans and active military have been alarmed about the idiocy of the changes in battlefield aeromedical evacuation known as Dust Off. For reasons having nothing to do with patient care, Dust Off has been removed from the control of the professionals, the medics, and put under the control of amateurs, aviation staff officers, or ASOs. This is the first such change since the Civil War.
I document the unparalleled excellence of Dust Off, and the effects of the changes, in my book, “Dead Men Flying.” Needless to say, it was the most outstanding battlefield operating system of that war – some one million souls saved and unprecedented survival rates. No warrior of Vietnam is more revered than the Dust Off crews.

Lincoln may not have had a strong military background, but he still ran things. He had a few businesses under his belt before becoming President. Just like Reagan. Reagan spent almost his entire non-political career running things, from his own radio sports show, to producing over 400 movies.

Denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than that.
The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.
ONE man had the authority to act that night.
ONE man deserted his post!

“The general makes a good point about the communist and Panetta ,,,”
You should have saved some ink and just left out the and! Panetta has been a Communist for all of his life. HIs daughter too!
Very good comment. I believe it’s the internet keeping us off the streets, out of the way of the Marxists, and generally quiet, diverting us from action of any real consequence. We are monitored, tracked, traced, registered and photographed. Works better than a camp and it keeps us occupied, buried in ink, grumbling to the like minded, but able to do nothing really. Audibly we are silent. The gunners among us are holstered, but impotent against the conceivable, even probable use of drones, should we ever leave the keyboard and get noisy.
That approval rating is a winner for the ONE. He reads it, believes it, likes it, and intends to use it as long as it holds and media are willing to sell it. Astonishing, I agree. That Constitution of ours was written for a Christian nation, and will not stand in a Godless one, including the courts, filled to the brim with more socialists than Christians, with each passing day.
Obama paralyzed by fear, LOL! The Obama shitbrd has no fear!
Certainly, for those who bothered to read, and knew the lie that “it wasn't defined in the Constitution.” The Constitution explicitly contains no definitions, with one refinement of a common-law term because our nation was not a monarchy. Our framers were brilliant men who wanted the Constitution to have eternal validity, and word definitions change with time. Putting definitions into the document would have rendered it a flawed curiousity in less than a century. It was designed be be, and Chief Justice Waite explained, interpreted in the common-law and language familiar to its framers.
With Obama illegitimate, anything goes. Those who care will have to fight each attack on individual sovereignty again, as Obama packs the court. I'm looking at Canada for my children, but have hopes for Singapore, Israel, and even China, where there is great respect for excellence, and the pay for scientists is now higher than than salaries in the US, where the jobs are disappearing.
Last time I looked Microsoft had four campuses in China, four in Israel, and just one in Canada. They'll keep the Redmond campus for a while, unless Obama tries to shake them down as he just has Toyota, and as Clinton did ten years ago, when Canada offered Microsoft a new home. Obama is a junkie with a silver spoon he probably can't control, or reject at this point. Corrections will come, but too late for me.
There is no reason for my children to struggle to support thuggish government unions and their overpriced drones. As Stalin explained, as long as the SEIU counts our votes we will never prevail in an election. Our pundits, if they had any grasp of quantitative reasoning, or even a little experience with criminal law, would know that our voting system is absolutely without an audit trail. There can be no “chain of evidence” for votes because ballots, if they are used, disappear into the caves of the SEIU where they are “counted”, or not, with no oversight. Is anyone so naive as to assume that an SEIU employee, whose job, future, and probably the health of his/her family depends upon keeping silent, would report that votes aren't counted at all?
Any votes cast via computer leave no trace of the real intent of voters. We do not have a representative republic. Congress is about as much representation as we can hope for. The vote counts all over the country in which Obama received more votes than registered voters will get no attention. The perception that Romney was popular was no illusion. Even the media couldn't cover it up. But Obama used to teach vote fraud when he worked for Project Vote, and Acorn subsidiary. He knew he needn't worry. The busing of illegals was probably unnecessary, since we have no audit-able vote count. IN any case, Republican poll watchers are constrained any place the opposition cares to claim there may be a racist bias, by a law suit decided by a judge, long retired, but who returns yearly to re-assert his order from the bench preventing Republicans from approaching precincts.
It is a little complicated. They count on your ignorance. The only really secure voting mechanism, one which was once the standard in this country, and still is in Israel, is to have volunteers count paper ballots before the ballots leave the precinct, and count them in the presence of observers from all parties. Volunteers have honor. They don't want to be found cheating. They live in the precinct they monitor.
Once the local count is made, it becomes the official count and the ballots are stored securely, never to be accessed without a court order. We don't have that mechanism today so that people, probably both parties at different times, can cheat. No comment about election results could be used as valid statistical data because there is no chain of evidence. It keeps the natives believing we have representative government. We don't, but many of us still believe in individual sovereignty. We will watch it disappear until we organize, or leave. Until more realize that votes are simply a propaganda tool, there can be no changes. They control the count, as Stalin observed, and thus control our future, telling us what they want us to believe are the wishes of the majority.
The main hop I see is the unlimited supply of coke will take him down, or the slimming disease becomes so advanced he goes into seclusion. Hilly is trapped in the bottle.
The counter putsch will be sudden, swift, extra-legal, and completely effective at eliminating broke government. How can they govern with no money?

According to an article I--and likely a lot of Freepers--have read--there's a group of black intellectuals in Chicago who know a lot about where this clown came from. Based on what they know, it is highly likely that the Little 0 has the "slimming disease" from his past "activities." And we all know what "that" means.
Sorry, not accurate.
Lincoln was an utter failure as a businessman.
Prior to his election as President, he was an attorney and one-term Congressman.
I just read the Resolution, and it says no such thing. FWIW.
I hope that the top military does have the courage to act if we get gun confiscation. This would cause CW2, and the only remedy would be a military coup. Now, that should paralyze him with fear.
bttt
” the communist and Panetta”? Google “Panetta communist” and see his associations with the communists
I am too familiar with the disease. It goes hand in hand with addiction. His brother is an addict and alcoholic. His father died drunk in a car wreck.
"I just read the Resolution, and it says no such thing. FWIW."
Your motives don't matter Sherman, since others may trust that you know what you are talking about. From the archives of the Senate Judiciary Committee in The Library of Congress, Thomas, April 30, 2008 here is the citation:
“Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a ``natural born Citizen’’. I recently asked Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, a former Federal judge, if he had any doubts in his mind. He did not.”
That statement was by Senator Leahy, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Elsewhere in the minutes of the hearing is another quotation, entered by the committee recorder, saying the same thing. This quotation was once on Leahy’s Senate web site. Needless to say it was scrubbed once questions began to arise. I anticipated that and have a screen capture. It doesn't matter. Whether ignorance or artifice, the Constitution has become a debate topic most haven't read, and most are willing to have explained to them by whomever they have decided to trust. But there are still some who value truth, so we'll correct misinformation until all the records have disappeared, and the new Bill of Rights has fully replaced the dusty old historical documents.
You may of course argue, as some obots have, that the requirements for McCain to be a natural born citizen were different than those applying to Obama. McCain's eligibility was the issue presumably being addressed by Democrats, who were very actively promoting McCain, sponsoring two Senate acts, a law that failed to pass, S.2678 in February 2008, and this resolution, SR. 511. Obama's issue, not having two citizen parents, was never doubted as a requirement, but Chertoff, may have been trying to help his friend McCain, for whom there should have been a Constitutional amendment passed. It may have been assumed that Hillary would be his opponent, since Oboma too signed SR. 511, and never claimed to be a natural born citizen.
McCain was not eligible, and that is why he was so important to Dems. With McCain running no eligibility questions would be raised about Obama, since Dems had thoroughly demonstrated that McCain was ineligible beginning with his candidacy in 2000. McCain's problem was having been born on unincorporated territory, an unfortunate congressional oversight, corrected the year after McCain was born. Yes, the Canal Zone was unincorporated. The authoritative treatment was provided by U of Arizona professor Gabriel Chin in 2008. If McCain had been born, as one published birth certificate for McCain read, in Colon, then he was also born on foreign soil. There were fully seven attempts to amend the definition for natural born citizens between 2002 and 2007, but none left Congress.
Lincoln did not have any significant background, but he was a man of many parts. He was an amateur inventer, had an analytical mind who while riding the circuit, read through Euclid’s geometry. The character in the movie aludes to this. He was a penetrating thinker, and did not pretend to know what he did not. Our dear leader has a mind like William Jennings Bryan—a mind like the River Platte, a mile-wide and an inch deep.” In many ways he is like Jack Kennedy, another celebrity president, except he lacks Kennedy’s libido—apparently—and his irony. Like Kennedy he is no intellectual, but he plays one on TV.
