I nominate this for statement of the day.
I served with him in the 2nd ACR when I was a young LT and he was a young CPT. Even in the beginning, we knew he was destined for greatness. At 73 Hastings he was one of our brilliant commanders.
Gets my vote.
Hear! Hear! I second the nomination. Unfortunately, he will probably have violated some PC handbook rule and will be forced to apologize in our screwed up system. Warriors scare the wet-panty brigade of journalists and politicians that rule the msm.
Where's the outcray, the anger of these lunatics on the left, human rights groups like Amnesty about these brutal murdering
bunch?
Not a peep. Killing a child, ripping the guts out and sticking a bomb in the cavity so they coyld blow up the mother. How sick is that?
Micheal Moores hero's, Cindy shee-mans hero's, even though these are the same type of animals that killed her son.
That's the kind of world they would rather live in, and would rather Iraq's live in.
Shortly after the attacks of 9/11/01, the President made these and other remarks in a speech to the American people:
Americans are asking: How will we fight and win this war? We will direct every resource at our command -- every means of diplomacy, every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforcement, every financial influence, and every necessary weapon of war -- to the disruption and to the defeat of the global terror network.
This war will not be like the war against Iraq a decade ago, with a decisive liberation of territory and a swift conclusion. It will not look like the air war above Kosovo two years ago, where no ground troops were used and not a single American was lost in combat.
Our response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen. It may include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations, secret even in success. We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. (Applause.) From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.
Mr. President, it sounds to me like Syria has met your requirements for a hostile regime. It is time to do what you said you were going to do.
A good friend of mine is in the 3rd ACR serving as part of Col. McMaster's personal security detachment. He says McMaster is the real deal, a true leader.
And I understand that sometime the capture process can be a bit "vigorous" but the captive often survives. Sometimes days
Forget the capture.
