I can not think of any commander worth a damn that would not defend the actions of his troops in the field. The US has been blessed with the finest fighting men the world has ever known. Great troops, should have great commanders, our troops deserve better leadership then the draft dodging, PC wimps leading them today.
I wonder if the fact that most of the DC leadership, ran and hid when it was their turn to fight for the nation, is the reason these cowards hide when BS charges like the current one is made against our troops.
Bush sucks, he just really sucks as a Commander in Cheif and as a president, I voted for him because the thought of Kerry apointing judges terrified me. But Bush should be ashamed of his performance as Commander in Cheif. Defending this young Marine agaist the enemies of the nation should be a high priority for a Commander, but where is Bush? Hiding behind Carl Roves skirt?
How is it that you know whether Pres Bush is defending this young Marine? Do you have a personal need for him to come to your hometown and tell you? You are not naive - you know that sometimes things work best behind the scenes especially where this Bush hating media is concerned. Sure, nothing would please me more than the President calling a news conference to pin a medal and then tell the media to go to 'ell. How about let's wait and see as far as the President is concerned. In the meantime, continue to champion this young Marine.
