WHO IS AT WAR?

What sacrifices have been made as a result of the “War on Terror”? 

Who has made the sacrifices?

The only people making sacrifices are those in the military and their families.

What has either political party contributed to the success of those making sacrifices?

The Republicans have conducted the war poorly, committed to few troops, not using weapons available to win, commitment of National Guard and Reserve Forces as regular forces, to the point of jeopardizing the future of both.  They have not called for an increase in active duty forces.  They have deployed individuals repeatedly to short hazardous duty tours (short tour – 6 to 13 months without family) (hazardous – good chance of getting killed or injured) with little or no regard for winning a true victory.

The Democrats have conducted themselves as traitors to the Nation.  They have aided and abetted the enemy – they do it almost daily.  They are opposed to gathering intelligence that would alert the Nation of possible attack. They have encouraged anti-military protestors; they have failed to call for an increase in active duty strength for fear of alienating their base.  

The propaganda branch of the Democratic Party, the Main Stream Media has conducted themselves similar to the Democratic Party.  The exception is they make money bashing our military.  On second thought that might not be an exception – the Democrats are probably making money from their anti-Military lefties.

The radio talk show media are primarily Republican.  Pick one, none has ever serviced a minute in the armed forces; yet they talk as if they know all about military tactics. 

If we are at “War”, why has it not been declared by the cowards in Congress?

We have already forgotten 911, Fallujah (burnt American hanging from a bridge), beheadings and other acts of barbarism by the “Insurgents”.  Our media and government are now pulling a “Duke” on our military forces.  They have found them guilty of some crime yet to be proven.  How many of us making “sacrifices” would have reacted at the death of a comrade?  If in fact anything happened. How does the allegations stack up against the barbarism of the enemy?

If we are going to give training to anyone – let it be Ethical Behavior classes to the members of Congress – both the House and the Senate.  The Administration should receive training on how to conduct a war.

Maybe the do nothing government could get off their backsides and pass a law.  The law would limit voting on war issues to only those making sacrifices.  We the general public are not making sacrifices, the liberal professors who want to demonstrate against commencement speakers aren’t making sacrifices, etc. 

Yes, the argument will be that our Nation has set up a system where civilians run the military, but it sure isn’t working.  Our military gets weaker and weaker, and it all started with Korea – yes the Democrats were in power.

I thought I would never say this – It is time for our troops to come home.  They are not backed by our cowardly government.  They have been betrayed by Democrat Politicians and their propaganda spouting media.  We lost about 2500 outstanding Americans, only to have their country turn its back on them.  I believe the German military at the end of WWI called it a stab in the back.
