Understanding the actual role of this nation’s armed forces has proven difficult for the Obama Administration. It causes them to think about the potential for conflict, and this is outside the lines for the utopian crowd. You see, there would be no conflict in their view, if everyone would simply adhere to the “appropriate” ideology. It’s ironic almost, that this has never happened in all of human history.
All sarcasm aside, any idiot can tell you we face very different threats than were at our door just a generation ago. And that same idiot could tell you the American Military must be able to adapt to an ever changing world dynamic. Fair enough. But just how does that translate into pension cuts and reductions in payroll raises for the men and women who volunteer and sacrifice life and limb in our stead? Moreover, do events like those in Ukraine give the administration pause as they slash our military readiness to pre-WWII levels?
Look, I refuse to enter into a justification argument with fools who harbor a negative view of our military and war fighters out of the gate, and who will ignore the train until it actually rolls over them. In fact history is pockmarked with the graves of these misguided intellectual types. What I’m saying here, is any (realignment) of our military, must be well thought out by those who understand that “readiness” means just that. And any “readiness”, as it is applied in the modern world, must be reconciled against enemies and alignments with real and tangible (and expressed) interests in the demise of this great nation. I’m of the opinion at present, that this type of historical discipline and forward thinking, does not exist in the Obama WH. Buckle up my fellow Americans…
