A movement has
been started by our armed forces, to get out the vote in 2014.. They are
organizing themselves, but this can be done by all of us.
The President, the
Commander in Chief, has made the Rules of Engagement (ROE) so difficult, that
our troops are often killed before they can even get permission to fight.
Nothing has been done to stop our troops from being murdered by Afghanis they
are training, either. Now, the President wants the US to sign on to the UNs
International Criminal Court (ICC), which would allow the UNs ICC to arrest and
try US troops for War Crimes, without the legal protections guaranteed under US
Law, and from which there is no appeal.
The President, with his Democratic
control of the Senate, has nearly all the power. If the Non-Establishment can
take back the Senate in 2014, our troops can once again be protected from
unnecessary danger. Please consider this, and send it on to your mailing lists.
Thank You and Semper Fi.
Interestingly
enough, when GWB was president you heard about the military deaths in Iraq
and Afghanistan almost daily. With Obama in the White House, the mainstream
media has been strangely quiet. --- More than 1,000 American soldiers have lost
their lives in Afghanistan in the last 27 months. This is more than the
combined total of the nine years before. Thirty have died in August. During the
last month, over 50 additional NATO and US servicemen have been murdered,
inside jobs by those who are hired to be a force for good in Afghanistan. The
commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House
flag flown at half-staff for the Sikhs that were killed.
There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing
in the ranks of the military against the indifferent incompetence of this
president. It
has taken on a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do about him, but the
anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end in sight to
the idiocy of this war. Obama has had 4 years to end this futile
insanity, during which time he has vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the
plight of our men and women in uniform. But, there is now a movement afoot in
the armed services to launch a massive get out the vote drive against this
president. Not just current active duty types, but the National Guard,
Reserves, the retired, and all other prior service members.
This is no small
special interest group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous
impact on the outcome of the November election if they all respond. The million
military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming victory in that
state if they all show up at the polls. It might not keep another one hundred U.S.
troops from dying between now and November, but a turn out to vote by the
military against this heart breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful
statement that hastens a change to the indifference of this shallow little man
who just lets our soldiers die.
Veterans: Please
forward to your lists. High Priority!
