Not an apt comparison.
The problem is not that Obama is a lefty, but that he hates the military and the United States. He wants the troops to die, because he hates them. Cf. the outrageous rules of engagement.
As lefty as FDR was, even his critics never thought he hated the U.S. or the military. Did he sell out to “Uncle Joe”? Absolutely. But we weren’t at war with “Uncle Joe.”
WE fight the enemy over there, if not we will have to fight them here.
Most on FR really don’t understand this war and why we must win.
