Excellent point. We need to stand up to the leftist thugs.
I’ll answer, but first I have to check with the political officer.
Just Obama singin’ in a his favorite song...”I Love The Sound Of Me”.
We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."Uh Barry, you mean like these guys?
Plus those Black Dress Uniforms were real chick magnets. When they marched babes fainted as they Goose-Stepped on by.
Oddly enough The Cuban version wears Obama's colors, instead of red.
This has the symptoms of an effort to co-opt the ordinary citizens like yourself into a government militia, to preclude the possibility of a citizen’s militia ready to limit the reach of an obama administration. The latter is the kind of militia the Constitution implied in the 2d Amendment. Obama’s effort to kill two birds with one stone: Nationalize the country’s firearms, along with its citizens.
I’m with you.
Anyone have any idea how many linguist and cultural specialists will be required to cover the many units that might be deployed to the many hot spots of the world?
As a retired military I can easily see that Obama is so naive as to be a threat to our safety. It would seriously undermine the military mission to have a bunch of State Department lackeys tagging along and getting in the way. Given the political nature of the State Department it would also be like taking a Fifth Column into battle with you so they could actively undermine the mission and endanger the troops!
Obama is either a fool or a naive idiot!
“Il Dupe”
LOL!!!
One word, Katimavak, google it....
Heck. The current crop of Pentagon lawyers already do that. Most of them believe that they should be consulted before ANY shot is fired and our current ROE over there shows it.
I used to compare him to Carter, but not any more. He makes Carter look like Reagan.
He seems to think that whatever he concocts in his mind is reality, and yet he can't even point to any positive past results for his ideas.
His ideas have all been tried in the past, with disastrous results. But like all hard leftists, he thinks history begins with him, too arrogant and stupid to look at the past. He's thinks he's smarter than they were, yet he can't put two sentences together without a teleprompter.
He will have to make hard decisions every day, yet he voted "present" 130 times as a lowly state senator. What was so tough about those decisions? Men like Putin will run him over.
If elected, he may very well compete for Worst President in History. Men like Putin will run him over.
Translation into German = GeStaPo (German State Police) - although the first word in German was not “German”, but another German word.
So, I figure Obama’s state police force could be called
BOStaPo - Bostapo - Barack Obama-—
or
DemStaPo - Demstapo - Democratic-—
or
MesStaPo - Messtapo - Messiah-—
Any other good names you can think of?
bttt
Jeff, you have always nailed this jerk BHMO.
In no way can US civilians replace boots on the ground.
As to the Peace Corps, I never saw a single one in a combat area. I saw a few on a flight a year or so later flying to another country, and; they stuck out like a sore thumb with long hair and hippie packs.
As for the Agency for International Development (AID), it was often located in safer areas in RVN, and; the head man was often a retired Army or Marine officer or on loan to them. Major Provinces often had a AID head. Great job pay wise.
I am no fan of the Peace Corps. Now AID can be used effectively if Dept of State keeps it’s FSO’s and undue influence out of it.
I favor the draft to Obama’s plans as many young men need the discipline and personal responsibility the military teaches.
I seem to recall that our FSO’s in DEPT of State refused to go Iraq?
Obama is a Marxist. He has no military experience, and Wes Clark would have received a career ending OER from my CO had he pulled his walking down a trail BS in my unit.
Obama is promising so many things to all,and; the cost will be enormous.
His wife may have given the answer to the question of what the civilian corps will be. Barry will require much of you or words to that effect. I suspect the civilian corps will be a large social organization with a goal of being both community organizers and pro Obama police.
Actually it Geheime Staats Polizi - Secret State Police.
