(open link for picture)...look closely at this cadet's chest....see the Combat Infantryman's Badge?...see the Army Commendation Metal with device?...he's had prior service before West Point....he's actually fought...he's seen combat in the Infantry...think he gives a rat's ass what some effete community organizer thinks about military strategy?

Well, it looks like he was reading it while “waiting” for Obama to show up and give his speech. The title is misleading.

BTW...I heard the correct story is he was reading that BEFORE the speech. I really doubt he would have been that impolite, regardless of his feelings.
To: STONEWALLS
Well, that books sounds like good reading material.
And if our men ever come face to face with Bin Laden, Eric Holder will read him his Miranda rights.

I would like to know what liberals read while waiting on a Bush speech.

So now Reuter’s line is Afghanistan is ‘an 8 year old unpopular war’? I thought this was the central front on the war on terror. I f—ing hate the media.

I just hope that 0bozo’s political commissars won’t put pressure on the brass to punish this cadet for reading during Zero’s speech and embarrassing the usurper commie pig 0bozo. What an asshole (0bozo that is)!!!

As of last year, Afghanistan was ‘the good war’ according to those clowns.

“I would like to know what liberals read while waiting on a Bush speech”.
...”It Takes a Village”. “I Have Two Mommies”. “New York Times”. “O” magazine.

A gutsy move by that cadet.However,I suspect that he/she just might have a serious disciplinary encounter very soon.

“This kid ROCKS! He will one H*LL of an Officer!”
....my thoughts too...a guy with prior enlisted service and combat experiance is way ahead of a kid that goes to West Point straight out of high school.

“I heard 2 hrs or more waiting for Obama.”
My friend’s grandson was there. They had to be in the auditorium, seated at 4PM, making it at least a five hour “tour of duty.” He told his family that their uniforms were incredibly hot.
