Moore Vietnam Buddy Offers Moving Character Testimony, Defends Him from ‘Political Vietcong Ambush’

Bill Staehle, who served with Alabama Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore in Vietnam, stood onstage Monday night during a rally in Midland City, Alabama, delivering a rousing character testimony of his war buddy and defending him from what he saw as incoming political fire.

“I looked into his eyes. Last time I had seen him he was wearing jungle fatigues,” he said. “And I tell you, people of Alabama, he’s the same guy.”

“He’s honorable, disciplined, morally straight, highly principled — the same qualities we would hope to have in all of our elected officials but don’t,” he said, prompting chants of “Drain the swamp!”

My experience as an officer in a conscription Army was that a third of your troops carried more than their weight, a third carried their share, and those two carried the third that were dead weight.

When it came to the mission, a third would energetically go after it, a third would do what was expected and they had to make up for the third that had an attitude.

A corrolary was that if you did your job leading them, a third would follow you enthusiastically, a third willingly, and a third hated your guts.

See a pattern?

It doesn’t surprise me that with a little digging one could find troops that hated any and every officer.

Watch Bill Staehle's speech and watch the whole Rally for yourself.
It was GREAT!

Listen to the words of Judge Roy Moore's poem below

Judge Roy B. Moore One nation under God revised version adapted to music ( 5:14 )

One Nation Under God By Judge Roy Moore ‘One Nation Under God’ was their cry and declaration. Up on the Law of “Nature’s God” they build a mighty nation. For unlike men before them who had walked this Earthly stop, These men would never question the sovereignty of God. That ‘all men were created’was a truth self-evident. To secure the rights God gave us was the role of government. And if that government became destructive to this end, It was their right, their duty, A new one to begin. And from the grave their voices cried”A victory has been won ! Just glorify the Father, as did His only Son ! When your work on Earth is done, And you traveled where we’ve trod, You’ll leave the land we’ve left to you’One Nation Under God’ “ With firm reliance on Divine Providence for protection,They pledged their sacred honor and they sought His wise direction. They lifted ’an appeal’ to God for all the world to see. Declared their “Independence”, forever to be free. I’m glad they’re not here with us To see the mess we’re in. We’ve given up our ‘righteousness’ For indulgent sin, When abortion isn’t murder, And sodomy is right, When evil is now called good, And the darkness is the light. And from the grave their voices cried “A victory has been won ! Just glorify the Father, as did His only Son ! When your work on Earth is done, And you traveled where we’ve trod, You’ll leave the land we’ve left to you’One Nation Under God’ “ Truth and Law were founded on the Law of All CreationTrue lawmen now denied the truth, and he calls it ”Separation”. No longer does man key to God when he’s in full control. The only truth self-evident is in the latest poll. But with man as his own ‘master’, We’ve failed to count the cost. Our precious freedom’s fanning And our liberty is lost. Our children cannot pray as they’re taught ‘evolution’. Will they learn ‘the fear of God’ is the only true solution ? (talking) Well our schools have become the battle ground. While all across the land Christians shrug their shoulders, And are afraid to take a stand. Now can we be indifferent, And not feel any change, For blood and tears that have been checked, Have they fell … all in vain ? (singing) And from the grave their voices cried“The victory has been won !Just glorify the Father, as did His only Son ! When your work on Earth is done, And you traveled where we’ve trod, You’ll leave the land we’ve left to you’One Nation Under God’ “

My experience as an officer in a conscription Army was that a third of your troops carried more than their weight, a third carried their share, and those two carried the third that were dead weight.

Doesn’t that ‘theory’ work almost everywhere?

I believe that during the Revolutionary War that only about 1/3 of the people (openly) believed in the ‘cause’.

Even elections have basically broken down to 40% are diehard R, 40% diehard D and the ‘fight’ is for the 20% that are ??????

Of course when one starts IGNORING their base 40% they start losing.

Wasn’t that supposed to be Romneys ‘thought’ when he mentioned the 47% were ‘lost’ mostly because 47% were on some sort of Govt program (of course he was mixing Military, LEGITIMATE SocSec, etc etc etc).

Like the line that was attributed to many but basically said that a Republic will last about 200 years as it takes that long to get the ‘minorities’ and have nots in one mind set and to band together to replace the haves.

OF COURSE, no one points out that once the HAVES become HAVENOTS, there is no one left to pick up the slack....
