BS.
You tell that to Marcus Luttrell and the men who served with him. If you don’t know who he is, and it wouldn’t surprise me, Google him.
Those men thought the world of GWB because he gave them the support they needed. I trust their opinion a hell of a lot more than I trust yours.
I don’t agree with many of the things GWB did in office, but knock off the moral equivalency crap. It is just plain stupid.
If you can’t tell the difference between George W. Bush and Barak Obama both in the way they support and treat the military, and in the way the military viewed them, then you have no damned business posting here.
The Haditha massacre? There were NO prosecutions of military men under Bush for doing the job they were assigned?
Bush was better than Obama, and the feelings of troops that have served under both have great weight, but GW was a lousy defender of the troops in several instances.
Lt Col Chessani is still under attack by those within the military and political circles. In several cases Bush could have stopped this kind of political theater, by stepping in and stopping persecutions. He chose instead to allow their names to be dragged in the mud, for them to be shackled and held in solitary confinement pending charges, or sent to jail for discharging a weapon in pursuit of an armed drug smuggler....I choose to see men as they are, not as heroes when they are just flawed and as PC as GW Bush obviously was.
“Those men thought the world of GWB because he gave them the support they needed.”
Ping to that!
Not ONLY that, Marcus Lutrell GAVE GWB a patch from one of his SEAL buddies who died when they got ambushed...GWB kept that patch on his desk the rest of his term.
He loves those men.
Thank you!!!! I agree with you!
