I’m not sure what to say because I don’t want to get banned.

said this for the last few days.
mad muslim shoots and kills 13 and wounds 30 and bozo gives a shout out, the media never covered the issue like the AZ shooting and those elected did not go out of their way like they have for the congresswoman.
The same media and the left told us to wait for the facts but do not when it comes to this shooting.

I’ve asked this time and time again too.
If these woman had not been shot would bozo and his followers from the media have been there yesterday and would the thousands of disgraceful classless cheering clapping students.

If a Moslem had done the shooting in Arizona, that would have been ignored, too, even if Rep. Giffords had died.

Very simple answer here....

The soldier's life is worth many times more than each individual life or all the lives collectively of those civilians that caused the soldiers to be put where they are without providing them a clear mission statement, clear and unequivocal objectives, quality leaders, the weapons to carry out those missions, and unrestricted limits of engagement.

The soldier's death due to any of the aforementioned requirements missing should be laid at the feet of those civilians who put the soldier there in the first place.

They quickly banned Fred Phelps from protesting in Tuscon when they refuse to do anything about protests at soldier’s funerals.

It’s obvious a soldier’s life is worth less, otherwise there would be congressmen on the front, instead of enlisted men.

Worshipping The Government, a leftist considers no crime worse than the attack on a public official. Its a desecration. They want all to share their outrage.

The military simply isn't useful to leftist ends (other than as a photo op). So the Pres sending a 'shout out to Chief Running Bear' immediately preceding the announcement of a mass killing of soldiers isn't seen as inappropriate.

But a government client is very much critical to enhancement of government authority, and that is how they view ethnic minorities, gender confused, muslims, etc. A negative reaction to them does not serve the leftist's purpose. It was in their political interests to tamp down passions in that instance.

Disgusting, but it how they see the world.

Not to mention all the lives of the murder victims in blue cities all over the country, including Chicago. Many innocent victims caught in cross fire and circumstances. Many small children killed.

How much are they worth?

I couldn’t watch Dear Leader’s speech yesterday because I kept thinking about Ft. Hood and Pvt. William Long, whose lives mean obviously nothing to Obama, the left, and the MSM.

“What is the life of a U.S. soldier worth compared to that of a Member of Congress?”

Nearly everyone has value, but a U.S. soldier’s worth (all military folks) is immeasurable, while the latter might be worth a cup of coffee and a piece of toast.

As for a lib Member of Congress... I’d skip the coffee and toast.

“How Much Is the Life of a U.S.Soldier Worth?”

#####

Easily that of several dozen Democrat/Communist Congressmen.

For combat troops, make it a round gross...

I have been haunted by this greatly today more than days past. I have been keeping quite for days now until after last nights memorial service when I finally had a belly full. The media jumped on the Fort Hood shooting quickly to portray a madman instead of mentioning terror. Fort Hood was a jihadist terrorist attack no doubt about it. The media and our Military leadership cleaned it up in a PC nature in order not to offend Muslims. Juxtapose the treatment of the Fort Hood terrorist attack to the massacre in Tuscon. The media reflexively tried to tie the actions of a true madman into a political terrorist event. The whole thing has left me feeling hurt, angry, and quite frankly sick to my stomach.

To be quite honest I have been feeling irritated since the Fort Hood attack concerning how government and the media stuck their nose into a Service funeral. Those funerals have usually been set aside for our troops to honor fellow troops. The families bury the dead but our troops have a service funeral using gear and photos. This is a way for troops to attend a funeral downrange or in mass when they cannot go home with a body. It was an intrusion of a private moment that kept many of our troops on post in front of a TV instead of paying tribute. All of this for a dog and pony show to allow the CIC to attend in order to get PR time on the news.

The day before the Fort Hood attack I greeted one son home to return to Fort Hood joining his brother at Fort Hood who was on two weeks of R&R. Fort the first time in months I slept knowing that my sons were on US soil, safe and sound on Military turf. My security was totally shattered the next morning when the news broke out about the attack on my car radio while I was taking care of errands. To have an event like this used by our media, Military leaders, and government officials in the wrong way is the height of betrayal by those we must depend on.

I pray for America to return to decent honorable actions. I hope that our people continue to work out routing out the dishonorable people who use events like this to obtain more power while destroying ours. I hope I don't pray alone.

Our soldiers never get paid enough money to compensate them for their riak.
In 1963, I remember getting $78/month as an E1 recruit.
They get more today, but I’ll bet it isn’t any more in 1963 dollars.
