Totally Clueless!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After reading a report like the following one. How in the world can anyone not come to the conclusion that the MSM is not biased. Or that they do not support liberal progressive thinking IDIOTS. The reporter that filed the following report/comment has absolutely no concept or grip on what a volunteer military is, or on the people who without coersion enlist in the worlds greatest military.
HERE IS THE STORY:
So, we pay the soldiers a decent wage, take care of their families, provide them with housing and medical care and vast social support systems and ship obscene amenities into the war zone for them, we support them in every possible way, and their attitude is that we should in addition roll over and play dead, defer to the military and the generals and let them fight their war, and give up our rights and responsibilities to speak up because they are above society?
I can imagine some post-9/11 moment, when the American people say enough already with the wars against terrorism and those in the national security establishment feel these same frustrations. In my little parable, those in leadership positions shake their heads that the people don't get it, that they don't understand that the threat from terrorism, while difficult to defeat, demands commitment and sacrifice and is very real because it is so shadowy, that the very survival of the United States is at stake. Those Hoover's and Nixon's will use these kids in uniform as their soldiers. If I weren't the United States, I'd say the story end with a military coup where those in the know, and those with fire in their bellies, save the nation from the people.
But it is the United States and instead this NBC report is just an ugly reminder of the price we pay for a mercenary - oops sorry, volunteer - force that thinks it is doing the dirty work.
That report was filed by, well I have to say it. A complete and total ASSHOLE from the left. This moron has no clue as to the sacrifices not only those in the military go through but thier families as well. The day to day things that since I was in have improved but still have a long way to go. The fact that military families bust thier backsides to make a living in usally living conditions we do not even put those welfare reciepiants into. The fact that those enlisted or VOLUNTEERED for service have to face the fact that the equipment they are useing was provided by the lowest bidder.
What we have are those men and women in the military who want to be there. All they are asking is the same all employees ask. LET US DO OUR JOB AND DON'T HINDER US IN IT.
A simple request that the enlightened thinking progressive people can not comprehend.
This moron ( Washington Posts security reporter/blogger, William Arkins) pisses me off more then I can describe. I cannot put into words the buttons this prick has pushed in this slam of the military. I can say that he is lucky I am across the country right now as I definately would love to confront this little bastard. What he needs is a crash coarse in the military, oh say 13 weeks in MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depo) then to live in a squad bay with the rest of his platoon. Thats right a squad bay as the Marines are not overly wealthy and rooms are not neccissarily the norm. Let him see the dedication of those who VOLUNTEER, and thier sense of job accomplishment.
