Ex-Navy Seal Launches Anti-Obama Super PAC
Newsmax ^ | Friday, 03 Aug 2012 05:59 PM | David A. Patten

It sounds like a plot out of an espionage thriller: An elite group of special-forces soldiers goes rogue, vowing to stop a politically ambitious president.

In reality, a group of former special-operations warriors in fact has precisely that goal in mind. And to accomplish their aim, they have created their own super PAC.

Ryan Zinke, a former Navy SEAL Commander and Republican state senator from Montana, has announced the formation of a new Special Operations for America PAC. He told Newsmax in an exclusive interview that the PAC is dedicated to supporting a strong military, and hopes to give the soldiers who put their lives on the line a political voice. …

Shouldn’t that be “former” Navy SEAL?

Some things never change in the real world. Some might be classified as “former” Seal or “former” Marine but it never sticks. When I meet authentic vets and we chat they always asked about my service and blurted out the same thing once told, without the “former”.

You are right, however, I have never been comfortable introducing myself as “ex” Navy. I put to much blood sweat and tears in being a Sailor to call myself “ex”.

No former member of the armed forces of the US are “ex”, unless they were kicked out of the military under less then honorable conditions or choose to call themselves by that title. Evan though it has be over 30 years since my service in the Navy, I regard myself as a “former” sailor not an ex sailor.

Just say’n

I hope he is successful. It is my opinion that Obama is out to totally destroy the United States and Harry Reid is helping him. Why the Senate won’t do something is beyond me. Why the Democrats are letting these guys do this, is beyond me. With the help of the EPA and other communists, we are watching the destruction of our country. Everything from coal production, oil production, small business, water.....you name it. Things we need for our very existence is being destroyed, including our military. Obama is even allowing and helping muslims destroy our country. People talk of civil war now more than ever. These people need to be run out of Washington DC and prosecuted for their attempts to destroy America.

Well Doc, I was told by my father that he was an Air Force veteran (35 years). And now I'm and Air Force veteran (28 years), and my brother is an Air Force veteran (26 years). So it is all how you look at it. You may be retired, but you're still a sailor. And a Veteran Sailor at that. My opinion is that those who wished to referred to as ‘former’ military may be trying to forget something that happened. But a military veteran is someone who has walked the walk, and would do it again if called upon. I salute your service.... brother.

Rouge?

I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same...

Sounds like they are living up to their oath...unlike some of the clowns in Congress.

I think this is Capt. Bailey’s group. That man is a hardcore SEAL warrior of the old school. He might be getting long in the tooth, but if he ever decides to come after me, I’ll just start digging my own grave to save everyone time.

If the Special Ops folks are getting together to seriously go to the mattress against Obama, things could get interesting fast. Those people have clout.
