An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please;
An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool — you bet that Tommy sees!
Rudyard Kipling, Tommy
The Obama administration demonstrates yet again that the defense of this country is not among their priorities, and that they could care less about the men who fight our wars.
Go here to read the rest. We have the best trained, best equipped and by far the most experienced professional Army in our history. At a time when the world is a powder keg just waiting for a match the Obama administration is tossing it away. Madness, sheer madness.
Because heaven forbid they do cut-backs on the really high ranking guys. *headdesk* I know the Navy’s bad on Admiral Bloat, but I suspect the Army has it bad. It’d take a lot of very high ranked “experts” to go for this…..
Madness. Fan flames at home and around the world while cutting your defense capability.
Kipling has a poem, “The Last of the Light Brigade.”
There were much the same actions after Vietnam.
N.B. No multi-billion cost over-run weapon system will be cut. And, “retiring” captains don’t get huge defense contractor jobs like the brass hats get.
And Obama will be given another $4 billion for judges (and AFSME nurse-maids) to exhibit their firm grasps of the obvious and send illegals back to the hellholes from which they absconded into the US.
Kennedy said, “Life isn’t fair.”
“Gentle when stroked. Fierce when provoked.”
Some of us may be about to be provoked.
