Not This Time, Not Ever, Never Again
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT WHO YOU MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT BEFORE DESERTING ANOTHER GENERATION OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE MR. LIBERAL
The news is full of discourse about our new President’s ‘honeymoon’ with the Congress and the American people being over just days after taking office. The term ‘empty suit’ has been once again bandied about and this time it may well stick. Mr. Obama who actually spent some months as a Senator seemed oblivious to the fact that there are others in office even if ‘we won.’ Yet I have yet to hear him address the concerns of veterans and those now serving in the armed forces about cutting and running from another war. Perhaps if we could somehow father octuplets in a gay relationship with AIDS thrown in we could get some airtime if we were also illegal immigrants.
Call this a shot across the bow if you will but we will make our voices and presence known in Washington, by our hundreds of thousands, if there is any talk of quitting again. This should not be taken as a threat but a simple promise from men of honor.
YOU WILL NOT IGNORE THE ADVICE OF THEIR MOST SENIOR GENERAL AND DESERT OUR SOLDIERS IN THE FIELD AGAIN!
Winning an election never gave a president that right once blood has been shed on a foreign shore. There is good reason for this because desertion has always been the most dishonorable of crimes.
Just down the road from the White House and Congress is Arlington National Cemetery. In a few weeks we will lay to rest a brave American warrior named Brigadier General David Baker, USAF, Retired. Dave was shot down over Snoul Cambodia in 1972 and severely wounded before being captured by the communist Vietnamese. He survived with honor and went on to fly twenty missions in the Gulf War.
Many of you now in power deserted then Captain Baker and the rest of us in that terrible jungle prison for pure political advantage. You will not be able to sully his good name and honor by cheapening his service and ours by deserting this generation on the field of battle.
Listen very carefully because I and mine mean what we say;
NEVER AGAIN!
