Glenn Beck tells his nephew not to reenlist because he doesn't trust Obama's commitment to the military!

It was a stupid post, it was about foreign policy and politics and it was a poor excuse for discouraging American boys from serving their country and denying themselves the title of veteran and patriot.
ROE
"Don't bomb the Mosque"
"Wait. Just make sure there is no collateral damage"
"How close are those huts"
"wait for it..You are clear to engage."
Listen to some of the videos that are out there from the C130s, Apaches, etc..IT WILL MAKE YOU SICK!!!!"
WAR IS WAR!!!
PERIOD!!!
How many churches were spared during other wars?
WHAT A CROCK!!!
THE MOSQUES ARE NOTHING MORE THAN GLORIFIED "SAFE ZONES"
ELIMINATE THE MOSQUES AND THIS CONFLICT WILL END...FOR NOW!
Of course, Muslims will hate us more /s
DESTROY THEM OR GET OUT....PERIOD!!!!
PC IS THE DEATH OF FREEDOM!!!
THE MUSLIM ONLY UNDERSTANDS BRUTE FORCE.
UNLEASH HELL UPON THESE BASTARDS!!!
For those that disagree, get lost!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
$%$#@'EM!!!!!!!!!!!
Beck also said that he spoke to his nephew on the phone, and said he said that he could not give him his word that this Country would stand behind him. He said That is a decision every family has to make, every soldier has to make for themselves.
ROE had nothing to do with the above Nuristan TET. What were the tactics, techniques and procedures our guys used there? Our troops were left tactically exposed without support. Tactical Incompetence.
A lot of folks fought in the 1940s under left wing FDR
FDR was lightyears to the right of obambi.
I support Beck in this.
I don’t blame any parent for advising their kids not to go with the moron in the WH.
Being an 82nd ABN vet, it pains me to say it, but I’d probably fist fight my sons before I’d give my blessing.
If rational thought wouldn’t work....well, I have 5 more years until I have to worry about that but he already despises Obama.
It basically comes down to your believe in Obama as CIC.
I think he’s getting our guys killed with his dithering and ROE...it’s pitiful.
You need to read about the Communist cells FDR had in his government
I gave some of the names on an earlier post.
What is brazen is for an American boy to be led away from serving his country and then having to live with that the rest of his life.
The left has been doing that to their sons for generations and you can see how it bothers most of them when they reach their late thirties and older and realize that they can never go back and change it.
I bet that Glenn Becks regrets it, I don’t know if his reasons were medical, legal or if President Reagan was just the wrong Commander in Chief for him, but I bet that he regrets it for whatever reason now that he is older and his chance is gone.
How the heck is not asking our sons and daughters to be used as meat for the grinder by an incompetent, no, scratch that - anti-American commander in chief, how is that a stupid post? It is a matter of conscience, whether you agree or not. But right now you’re just being a reactionary.
Serving in the armed forces doesn’t automatically guarantee you that one is a patriot. I’m sorry. I’ve been there. A lot of people serve for a lot of different reasons. For many, it’s a glorified welfare-to-work program. They could give a rat’s behind about patriotism.
NO! You are brazen - get out of people’s lives! Their son will do just fine, he’s only 16. You overstepped your bounds.
And your opinion that Beck regrets what he said is worthless. It’s YOUR opinion. He gave his nephew excellent advice, now his nephew has his own decisions to make. You don’t lke it, TOO BAD.
Spend your energy getting this anti american CIC out - and not dictating to others who YOU think they should do with/for their children. You are truly like the gov’t with your NEED to control.
The new right wing, anti military where it counts, getting their sons to serve.
No wonder we have so few veterans among conservative leaders, an awful lot of conservatives are just what the left says they are, they want to pass the buck from themselves and their own sons to anyone else, including the women that are already required to make up the shortfall of males.
Afghan Defense Minister’s gibe about US decision-making process on troop increase prompts laughter from senior generals.
Abdul Rahim Wardak, Afghanistan’s Defense Minister announced the Afghan Army would be expanded to more than 240,000 soldiers. Wardak described President Obama’s process to decide on a US increase in troops as “long awaited and over-elaborated,” which prompted laughter from the senior US generals in attendance, including General Stanley McChrystal.

Go to DU where more people will agree with you, this is one of those nights when I am sadly disappointed with the people that call themselves conservatives and sunshine patriots, sheltering their children from duty to country and saying this is the wrong president, maybe the grandsons will get the right one then maybe they will serve, or not, whatever.
Yeah we sure are a bunch of right wingers aren't we. We better keep the recruiters out of the High Schools and off the College campuses, maybe we can start supporting those politicians that push for that sort of thing.
You misunderstood me, I was saying that at his current age that Beck probably regrets that he did not serve in the military.
Does anyone know the story behind that? He wasn't Mormon then so that is not it.
Go back to DU yourself - you clearly have done everything you could to bash the ‘right’. You’re done!
I’m encouraging military service, not trying to stop Americans from serving.
My view is unwelcome at DU, yours is welcome there.
