” Cadet First Class (i.e., fourth year or senior) _____ _____ announced the death in Afghanistan scarcely a day earlier of 2nd Lt. ______ _______, West Point, Class of 2008.
The dead soldier’s brother is a Cadet Second Class (i.e., third year). A minute of silence was observed.
5,000 people absolutely shut the bleep up.
You could have audiotaped the sound of a single ant’s footfalls in that hall. The announcement was unexpected, jarring, like a punch in the gut.
I almost cried. The Cadets — none of them older than 22, I would guess — did not flinch.
The dead soldier was probably 22 or 23.
He sought out this career knowing he might get shot in some awful desert, and eagerly went anyway.
There were 4,400 kids in that hall who might meet the same fate.
1,100 might meet it in less than a year.
No one at my college ever thought of such a thing,”
Military families all over America, mine included, are apoplectic about our lackadaisical CinC and the deterioration in Afghanistan.
My son’s unit has an unofficial slogan that remembers 9/11 and vows to take the fight to the terrorists.
Unfortunately, it seems the men and women fighting ( well, trying to- except their hands are tied )
are the only ones who understand what is at stake.
The White House and the Democrats obviously don’t understand and don’t care.

The only thing they understand is they want to make America fail and look weak. It will bring about the “change” which they seek.
