Defend our military…

twitter_russiapicYou won’t get an argument from me about the military needing to take a good hard look at the way it spends its money, but rather we’d be talking about things like less bureaucratic waste and more of what soldiers need to do their jobs. We’d be wrangling over less money for fat cats shining a seat in Washington with their ass, and more money for Veterans struggling to make their way in this life after having given so much for their country. And we’d be talking about a benefit package befitting those who go in harm’s way in our stead, and that would look much more like those of Congress and the President.

But instead, we’re witnessing an ideological and systematic dismantling of our military and its readiness to fight, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the Carter years. This president and his inexperienced and reckless cohorts have instituted a foreign policy tailored made for our enemies, and are backing it up by parking our fleet, grounding our aircraft, and sending pink slips to battled hardened military leaders while their still in-country.

This is what happens when an academic whose life experience can be viewed pretty quickly with a few clicks of a “Fisher Price View-Master” toy, is given the awesome responsibility of tending the world’s most powerful military.

So as the Middle East ignites and the Russian president drops “sissy bombs” on our Commander-in-Chief” via Twitter, it’s hard to imagine how the next president will go about the business of repairing the battered image of our nation, or for that matter, regain the confidence of the very men and women who defend the last bastion of true freedom in the world.
