Fort Bragg, NC – The White House Press Office announced today that President Obama will soon be inducted into the Special Forces Association and receive an honorary Green Beret.
Officials have said the honor will be bestowed in an upcoming September 11th ceremony at Fort Bragg.
The honorary beret comes in recognition of the President’s decisive role in covert operations throughout the world during his term — including the killing of Osama bin Laden last year in Pakistan, and his combat action in Afghanistan months ago.

Oh, No! Don’t tell me he’s about to say “I shall return !”
That is the SAS knife.
88Update: White House press secretary denied reports that in attempting to unsheathe the dagger President Obama managed to kill three Girl Scouts, two of the press pool and wounded Joe Biden. Jay Carney further reiterated that none of the furniture was damaged by the slight mishap with the ceremonial dagger.
Reports that Obama later inadvertently stabbed himself then swallowed the Fairbairn-Sykes while trying to show off with it to his golf buddies are also greatly misrepresented.
When asked for comment Vice President Biden replied, “It’s not a big f*cking deal.**
ROFLOLLOL...love the smiley-pin!
As for my son, he just recently returned from Afghaniland, safe and sound. Yes, it was tougher then I imagined, but not as tough as what those front line troops go through. My heart really breaks for those parents who get a visit from the Army telling them that their son or daughter was injured or killed in this prolonged, political quagmire.
While the troops shouldn't hang their head for doing the best they can while having their hands tied, I can't imagine how a parent of a dead or wounded soldier deals with the fact that our political leaders have wasted the lives of this generations bravest. Afghaniland, according to my son who, as an infantryman, saw first hand, is full of corruption, laziness, and stupidity. And this is coming from someone who looks for the glass to be half full.
Are you also a parent of a soldier? If so, thank you for raising a warrior.
Interestingly, I have a friend that earned his Fairbairn as a Commando in 1944/45.
Is this from The ONION????? OMG!!! Maybe the Green Beret Award is from SOLYNDRA!!
I read somewhere that the ceremony had to be canceled.The army doesn't have a beret big enough to fit over his giant ego.
What a shame for men to honor an evil man. It gets more like the 1930’s every day.
It got me! The problem with Obama is that his usual crapola is so far over the top you have no real way to guess what is satire and what isn’t.
Ok, I know this is satire, but people get legitimately angry because the SOB got a Nobel Peace Prize for nothing.
Ordering some general to bestow a coveted Green Beret or hell, a “Budweiser” would not be atretch.
They gave it to him because of his belief that the time for a unipolar world led by the US is past, for his belief that the US should be cut down to size and its policies- internal and external- be subject to a kind of global vote so that its ability to project power should be no greater than Denmark, Iran or Indonesia.
Inducting one of the most dishonorable men in America into a society composed of our nation’s MOST honorable men?
This would be laughable if it weren’t so despicable - which self-promoting Pentagon chair polisher dreamed up this nightmare farce?
Find him and fire him.
He got it for being half black.
Satire should be banned from this site till zero is no longer in the white mosque.
or,
Treat satire posts like vanity posts. Clearly mark “satire” in the title.
Some of us don’t have time to go read the entire article to find it’s satire. We also don’t have time to waste on satire.
Honorary member of the Benedict Arnold Society would be much more fitting.
