the hokie pokie of death

you put your right foot in , you take your right foot out......


President supports a limited surge in Afghanistan ?
We'll send most of the troops you asked for , BUT , put limits on how long they stay and how much we'll spend.....

where do I start?

Now the enemy knows exactly what our plans are , not smart, they will engage us when they are up to it, and hideaway when the odds are against or their supplies are low, they live there ya know, they can wait us out for generations, there is ALWAYS light at the end of the tunnel.

Financially we are in dire straits, BUT , you don't play budget games when lives are on the line, you don't try to appease your detractors by limiting spending on the military, if you are making the decision to send the military into hostile environments, halfway around the globe, taking these men and women away from their families at at such a fragile time in our nations psyche......the LEAST you can do is fully support their mission.

How demoralized would you or I feel if we were deployed next month to Afghanistan under these conditions, can you imagine a 20 something year old Marine having to explain to his wife and kids that he is going to Afghanistan under these circumstances........the success of our military has always rested on the inexplicable desire of young men to volunteer to serve and risk their lives, how long before that spirit turns to despair ? ......where in Gods name do these guys get that spirit ? if that magic well of new recruits ever runs dry it's OVER...but with the antichrist in washington......maybe that is what it's all about Grimmy!
