General McChrystal set himself up to be fired because of the idiotic "rules of engagement" his troops were getting killed by, along with the other "Obamanations". He could no longer stomach the situation.
 
Note:
Petraeus to Modify Afghanistan Rules of Engagement
 
I wonder if this was a condition for Gen. Petraeus to accept the commend?


If You read all of it ...It says that ""My message will be clear: Nothing changes about our strategy, nothing changes about the mission," Mullen said."
So that means it will go as the White House said ..Not the way Gen. Petraeus wants !!!

Yamamoto argued against an invasion of the USA, saying that there was a rifle behind every blade of grass.
 
Obama is too stupid to read history, unfortunately.

 Isoroku Yamamoto's  quoted after the attack on Pearl Horbor, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

Another outrage: Censored
 
The Department of Justice is ignoring a new law aimed at protecting the right of American soldiers to vote, according to two former DOJ attorneys who say states are being encouraged to use waivers to bypass the new federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act.

Soldiers generally don't vote for demrats, and deserve to be counted most of all!
