In this installment on the STOTU we turn to supporting our troops. [Click this link for the Prepared Remarks.]
" We must never forget that the things we’ve struggled for, and fought for, live in the hearts of people everywhere. And we must always remember that the Americans who have borne the greatest burden in this struggle are the men and women who serve our country."
Only those who retain their souls share our love of life & liberty. Muslims, having sold their souls to Satan, value death over life, secure in the false conviction that they will enjoy eternity in the celestial bordello of carnal bliss once the privations of the current world have ended for them. Those are only interested in conquering the world for Satan, a.k.a. Allah.
Thousands have come home from Afghanistan & Iraq in boxes. Thousands more have returned missing limbs, with horrible, disabling and disfiguring injuries, both visible and invisible. Recently, the one who would seem to honor them mocked them for objecting to his attempt to screw them out of the medical care promised to them. Including that paragraph in the state of the union address is political exploitation at its worst, coming from one whose party does its best to prevent their votes from being counted in a timely and effective manner.
"Tonight, let us speak with one voice in reaffirming that our nation is united in support of our troops and their families. Let us serve them as well as they have served us – by giving them the equipment they need; by providing them with the care and benefits they have earned; and by enlisting our veterans in the great task of building our own nation."
Reagan sent the Marines to Beirut, as sitting ducks, to save Arafat's bacon. Clinton sent them to Somalia, with insufficient force and material. Shrub sent them to Afghanistan & Iraq in insufficient numbers, with inadequate planning and an amorphous, ill defined objective. Obama subjects them to suicidal rules of engagement and now he wants to slash the defense budget.
" Our troops come from every corner of this country – they are black, white, Latino, Asian and Native American. They are Christian and Hindu, Jewish and Muslim. And, yes, we know that some of them are gay. Starting this year, no American will be forbidden from serving the country they love because of who they love. And with that change, I call on all of our college campuses to open their doors to our military recruiters and the ROTC. It is time to leave behind the divisive battles of the past. It is time to move forward as one nation."
That is a nifty combination of Balkanization and special interest pandering, exactly what we have learned to expect from Democrats. Obama slithers into rationalization of the left wing's p.c. attitude and banning of ROTC from universities. It was ok because Queers were rejected at the recruiting office. Yeah, right. They will invent a fresh pretext because they hate this nation and do not want it to be defended.
