Gees. You fergot the AF general who could not even remain conscious while testifying in front of his congress to ask for more money!
The Pentagon is going to need an enema with a firehouse when Obama is done with it.
Waiting for Presidential candidate issue a WARNING to the Military and Fed.gov bureaucracy. Politicking will end January 2017. A major house cleaning is coming. leave now or face consequences.
“But, I’m betting on moral cowardice winning the day at the Pentagon instead of some kind of heroic dissent.”
Agree. The Obamacrats have ridden the military of anyone NOT either a Yes man, or functional idiot.
That guy did not look like one of ours. Has he been identified? I find it hard to believe a US military man would cry over getting captured.
The military was one of the few institutions left that was still on our side. No more, the left has taken over it as well.
Antonio Gramsci is laughing in his grave.
This event directs my memory back to the Cold War involving China as well as the Soviet Union. Navy ships stationed in Yokosuka Japan patrolled through the Taiwan Straits as they transited to Vietnam. The captain of our LST told us that if any Chicom ship tried to intercept us we would fight.
The prospect was not that exciting because our flank speed was 12 knots and our heaviest armaments were three dual 3in50cal anti-aircraft mounts. But the Pueblo incident was on everyone’s mind and that was going to be our response. There was never any speculation that surrender might be an option.
This event happening to what used to be my Navy reminds me of watching a good friend being eaten into a living cadaver by cancer.
The fact is that exploding bombs will be banned as too polluting. This male voter doesn’t need women to defend him. Sending our most viable wombs into battle is a sure way to destroy America.

“But while 61% of male voters believe women should be required to register for the draft, only 38% of female voters agree. Most women (52%) oppose such a requirement, and 10% more are undecided.”
What happened to all that push for “equality?” Where’s the broomriding Ãœbershrew on this one? How about Bernie? I notice on THIS one, the dems are stony silent.
Seems our military has morphed from kick butt and take names to can’t we all just get along wusses.
From let’s kick some ass to we all gots to kiss obammy’s fag loving ass.
The shrew will continue the program her husband began of selling off military assets - classified or otherwise - for personal gain.
Bernie will take the military budget and slash it to something approaching Canada’s military budget, leaving just enough people under arms to maintain the social experiment and sell off the surplus to feed the homeless and hungry ...
Kinder and gentler military?
I know our Commander and Chief is a wuss.
I'm not condemning Nartker for this because I suspect he was given specific orders to stand down and surrender to the Iranians.......
Sending our most viable wombs into battle is a sure way to destroy America.
Somehow the most technologically advanced people the world has ever seen can’t grasp what Neanderthal or cro-Magnon instinctively understood...
I support the draft registration of women.
While women are not suitable for ground combat roles, there are many jobs in the military that women can do & do them well.
Behind every soldier are numerous non-combat personnel required to help keep that soldier fighting effectively. Every jet, helo, truck, & weapon requires maintenance, supply, & replacements. Soldiers have a constant need for food, water & ammo. Women can do all these jobs & more.
As our military becomes more automated, more formerly male dominated jobs can be done by women. Drone pilots need not be men. Button pushers & screen watchers don’t need to be big, burly, brave men. Petite patriots can do the job just as well, freeing up the fighters for the close up, grisly work.
I will remind the doubters that in WWII women greatly helped win that war & often risked (& lost) their lives in the service of our country. Without them we might have lost. My aunt delivered military mail on a motorcycle.
If a million or 2 Chinese troops land on the west coast we are gonna need both genders in the battle. Leaving 1/2 the population out of the war would be foolish.
Those who need banning from the military are not sane, capable women, rather we should be banning the mentally/emotionally disturbed LBGTQA..... crowd, who are unfit to serve.
“I find it hard to believe a US military man would cry over getting captured.”, don’t lid yourself there are TONS on Military COWARDS out there now. Testosterone w/in the regular US Military is in SHORT supply now.
This guy is being a tad harsh on the sailors “captured” by the Iranians, unless he has inside knowledge of what exactly happened in those waters...
Unless/until more information is forthcoming, from the sailors actually involved, I’m withholding judgment.
