The U.S. Soldier: Who's Got Your Back?

Good question.

General Stanley Petraeus was a highly decorated four-star general serving over 37 years in the United States Army. His last assignments in the Army were as commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Commander, U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) from July 4, 2010 to July 18, 2011.

Who in the top echelon of the military command granted full access for a biographer (a beautiful young woman) to interview Petraeus extensively overseas in a dangerous war zone like Afghanistan in the first place???

Who authorized the search of his "private" e-mails?

Who set out to destroy his career and why?

Why was Clinton's presidency NOT ended when he turned the oval office into the "oral" office? What about all the Kennedys and their never-ending scandals? No career changers anywhere, any time for any of the Kennedy "boys" at all. Ever.

　
Stanley Allen McChrystal

was a top U.S. Army General who served in high-level positions of leadership in Iraq and Afghanistan. McChrystal was forced to retire after Rolling Stone Magazine published a damaging article; an article of questionable veracity.

Who granted access to a top general like McChrystal to the likes of a liberal rock 'n roll doper-rag like Rolling Stone in the first place? Did they expect a sterling interview of national importance? 

  Rolling Stone could have interviewed Joe Biden in a jacuzzi in the Rose Garden for a much more viable article on what the VP really views as a "big f-----g deal" than the hatchet job done on McChrystal.

Recently, a young collegiate basketball player broke his leg while playing a game.

A tragedy for sure, but the media pounded out news about this sports star for days. Also recently, a young U.S. soldier was killed in Afghanistan while playing ball with some children when a 16-year-old Afghan boy crept up behind him and stabbed him in the neck. That was news for about a minute. Guess which one will never play ball again? Now that's a "big f-----g deal" Mr. Vice President.

The current Administration has denied Purple Hearts to the soldiers killed or wounded in the Fort Hood terrorist attack, claiming this massacre was "a work place incident". . .

If you are a U.S. soldier stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan and you are killed by terrorists, is that a work place incident?  Soldiers are ordered to serve this nation in Iraq/Afghanistan, just as those soldiers were serving this nation at the Ft. Hood base when they were massacred by a crazed Islamic terrorist.  Wounded, killed in the line of duty, but no Purple Heart medal for the Ft. Hood victims of terrorism.  This Administration showing once again it's disdain for our Military; another "big f------g deal" Joe.

Today our amazing country somehow keeps churning out outstanding young men and woman willing to step up and go to war on behalf of a grateful nation. Will that miracle continue now that NO ONE in top leadership positions in our own Government seem to give a damn about them? NO ONE in our Federal Government seems to care enough to make sure VA benefits remain intact for ALL returning warriors.  NO ONE is even getting military ballots out in time for our serving soldiers to vote -- and who is making an EXTRA effort to even COUNT the votes that do manage to get back home???

Our present Administration is intent on cutting funding to our military -- even with two wars ongoing, crazy leaders in North Korea rattling sabres again, and Iran on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapon capability. The VA Administration is now under fire for NOT providing well-earned benefits for ALL our returning wounded warriors. Something's just not right here.

Have you ever wondered why the U.S. Military seems to be under an all-out assault -- an assault from within???

If you know of any civilian support group that is actually making a difference (besides the Wounded Warrior Project) please let me know. Someone has to step up and STOP this assault on our soldiers and it looks like it will have to be us; all grateful, patriotic U.S. citizens.

Keep asking this question: Why should a person who has never served a day of his life in the military be allowed to be Commander in Chief? That's just plain stupid. In closing, I would like to say that after seeing our current president try to play basketball -- 2 out of 22 hoop shots? Come on! He plays basketball just as he plays at being president: Mis-guided. Mis-calulating. Mis-taken. Mis-leading. Mis-direction. Mis-representing.  And oh, so-oo stubborn. It is clear that President Pinocchio is a better basketball player than he is president. Oh, and Joe, you need your mouth washed out with soap, you potty mouth!
