Amidst all the sadness, anger, suspicion and outrage this incident has provoked here, with which I wholeheartedly agree, let me point out three silver linings that may at least grant some small solice to the souls of these men and their loved ones:
First, this brings even more damage to Obama’s reputation, even among his supporters, as demonstated by the DU reactions.
Second, this makes it even less likely the military would obey orders to go against the citizenry of our country on behalf of Obama if he ever pushes us to that point.
Third, this makes absurd, self-defeating involvement in useless wars and nation building less likely in the future. We will hopefully be more inclined to use maximum power and a vicious will to win against the cancers of Islam, Marxism and invasion from the south.
Sorry for these rather coldly calculating thoughts amidst this tragedy.
Maybe it’s just me, but I find it unconscionable to focus on any political benefit from the death of our beloved Navy SEALs.
