While watching the news this morning, MGen Caldwell was asked if he read the ISG report which he said yes, and if he thought those 79 suggestions should be instituted. A pause, a slight laugh (*) and a reply saying that U.S. forces have already been doing some of those suggestions long before they were ever brought out in this overly glorified report.
This is just another of oh so many PRIME examples of how out of touch the Diplomats/Politicians in D.C. are with the U.S. Military. Save our Military from our Poltiicans. I can't emphasize that enough. Between inept, clueless politicians and pure evil greed of defense industry, our military personnel suffer, their families suffer, and have since the end of World War Two. President Eisenhower had it pretty close in his warning about the military/industrial complex. It's more like the political/industrial complex that endangers our military and our very own national security.
The lead story on TownHall about a Baker-Hamilton report in 1943 is dead on in comparrison to today's war we face. Talk is cheap, direct action is what will solve this in the end. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fl) went to Syria to talk to Assad. If he went UnODir, then he has put our National Security behind his personal feelings and he had better be front and center to the President as soon as his feet hit U.S. soil for an explaination.
Bravo to I.C.E. for arresting those 1000 illegals. Geraldo Rivera is arguing now with Bill O'Rielly about those arrest....La Raza, right G? I guess the talk about the Amero currency is sounding sweet to Geraldo and La Raza. Another major topic coming soon.
(*) If this was the Bill Clinton Administration, MGen Caldwell would now be 2LT Caldwell and forced to retire as it did happen to many Flag Officers for being men and warriors. If this was the Hillary Rodham Administration...well, we will have no 'warriors' in the U.S Military because there will be no U.S. Military under her 'regime' and reign of horror.
