I’m past tired.  I’m past angry.  I’m past giving anyone in our government the benefit of the doubt.  I’m past listening to hollow words.

No More!

U.S. commanders in Afghanistan face tougher discipline for battlefield failures

The U.S. military has reprimanded an unusually large number of commanders for battlefield failures in Afghanistan in recent weeks,…

Maybe, just maybe if our Military wasn’t fighting with one hand tied behind their backs and their feet tied together, THEY COULD DO THEIR JOB!

John Brennen ~ Meet the Press 2/7

“And, quite frankly, I’m tiring of politicians using national security issues such as terrorism as a political football. They are going out there, they’re, they’re unknowing of the facts, and they’re making charges and allegations that are not anchored in reality….”

Watch the whole BS episode here.   Just a little the pot calling the kettle black.

Then there are the Warriors sitting in prison for political reasons.

They Fought For You! Will You Fight For Them?

United American Patriots

Justice! Innocent Until Proven Guilty! We have members of our Armed Forces being held in confinement that is worse than known enemy combatants! Without any formal charges filed against them! This is not the America they fought for!

The Warrior Fund

Justice! Innocent until proven guilty! The right to a fair trial!

These are basic civilian rights our warriors have sworn to defend. These are also the rights our soldiers are not guaranteed while serving in our country’s military. A military defendant is “presumed guilty” and must prove his or her own innocence. Left with the burden of not only finding adequate legal representation, but also paying for it.

While our enemies are given civilian rights, provided with teams of attorneys paid for with our tax dollars, and given civilian trials; our warriors are read their Article 39(a) Miranda-Tempia rights on the battle field, and now sit in prison. They are not given court appointed attorneys. Their families must beg, borrow and mortgage their homes in order to retain an attorney that will defend their loved ones from the very country, for many generations, our sons and daughters have proudly fought and died for.

Most families send their loved ones to war with the prayer, “God, please watch over our soldiers and bring them home safely”. Today, America has taken a different approach. We allow the media to watch over our soldiers, bring them home labeled as murderers, and adorn them with steel bars, handcuffs and shackles.

dont turn your back

(warning ~ frickin’ reality a hug won’t cure)

“There was no firefight. There was no IED that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood.  They actually went into the houses and killed women and children.”     ~John Murtha (1923-2010) regarding the Haditha Marines 5/19/06.  (Seven of the eight have had charges dropped. The eighth is still awaiting his court martial.)

May God have mercy on your soul.
