No one wants to be the last soldier killed for that backward-assed country, but Obama is completely willing to throw away American lives for nothing.
ROE?
The reason, I mean.
Yes, it’s absolutely discussing. Pointless deaths and this time. Where is the anti-war crowd when they would actually have a point?
Where is the bastardized , so-called “media” and their reporting on these deaths like they did non-stop when Bush was CIC???
Bootlickers.....all of them!!
The “anti-war” crowd is too busy worshiping their god, Obastard.
Wouldn’t want to upset their king.
...when you have muslims in the WH as advisers, and RoE don’t allow you to protect yourself and a president who is more concerned about fund raising than saving lives...sure numbers will climb
Suicidal ROE policies!
MIA, naturally
What’s amazing to me is the lack of coverage.
27 dead per month?
That’s 1/4 the rate in Vietnam.
Which is still huge. And you hear nothing of it.
The military has been too successful in controlling the media. They do it to prevent the kind of distortion that CBS/NBC/ABC engaged in during the Vietnam war, but that means people don’t hear about this.
By the end of Vietnam everyone knew that the ROE were nuts.
Well, George McGovern and Hanoi Jane didn’t think they were all that bad, but...
There should be more reporting from the front there. Americans should know what’s happening and understand what is causing it.
It will be one more nail in the coffin of this criminal administration’s “foreign policy”.
Writing the ROE to ensure this is "the next Vietnam"--their words, not mine.
They have been making sure their propaganda prediction happens, in the press, and in the halls of policy, and they are willing to shed the blood of our troops (whom they have hated since the '60s) to make it happen, no matter the results.
Meanwhile Afghanistan is setting free the terrorists that these troops were sent there to deal with.
Bring the troops home.
As a VietNam vet, we engaged in “winning the hearts and minds” of the Vietnamese people. Judging by the lack of the NVA expected “uprising and support’ from the South Vietnamese people for the NVA during TET, maybe we were partially successful. When Walter Cronkite was shown the total lack of NVA strategic military success in the 1968 TET Offensive, he replied, “that’s a great story but I’m probably not going to use any of it”. However, most of us were never subjected to ridiculous ROEs now imposed on our troops. Nonetheless, as in Nam, we were betrayed by our media, yellow bellied politicians and anti-American protestors. This is history repeating itself.
Active Duty ping.
bttt
With the MSM you would not even be aware the war was still going on. It does not exist in the news cycle. Under Bush, they meticulously reported every single death. It becomes glaringly obvious now, and we all knew its beforehand, that the MSM does not give a rats ass about the soldiers. To the MSM, the soldiers are useful only as a bludgeon for political purposes; the purposes being to destroy President Bush.
An emasculated America is dying before our eyes. Hillary in 2016? Sure, why not? We're gluttons for punishment aren't we?
