Commander in Chief of what?

From a FRIEND  !!!!!

Read and pass on what she says. 

I come in contact with a lot of veterans down here and in my communications with Naval Academy Alumni, and I haven’t come across even one who plans to vote for Obama in November.  

What instructions do you think he has given to the marines he is now sending over to Libya to protect our embassy?  Do you think they’ll be allowed to have loaded rifles?  

With all that’s going on in the middle east and with all the concerns about how many more riots we’ll see over there tomorrow (Friday) after the Muslims get stirred up by their Imams in prayer services, Obama remains on the campaign trail today doing speeches and fundraisers.  What his job description again?

 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. The commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown at half-mast for the Sihks 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.

This is not something that has been forwarded over and over but something that Bob wrote this afternoon. He comes from a long line of military men who served their country and were proud to do so. Now his son is scheduled to go to Afghanistan in a few months. His niece will leave in a few weeks. I promised him I would forward it. I owe him and all those other kids that much. It's the least I can do.

If you disagree with any part of it, just delete it. If you agree with it, send it on.
