Interestingly enough, when GWB was President the media published numbers of the military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan daily. With Obama in the White House, the mainstream media has been strangely quiet.
.More than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in the last 27 months.
This is more than the combined total of the nine years before.
.Recently 50 additional NATO and US servicemen have been murdered, inside jobs by those who are hired to be a force for good in Afghanistan.
.Our Commander in Chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown at half-staff for Sikhs that were killed.
.There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against the indifferent incompetence of this President.
.No one knows what to do about him, but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of this war.
.Obama has had nearly 5 years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in uniform.
But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch a get out the vote drive against his party in the next election.
.Not just current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the retired, and all other prior service members. This is no small special interest group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous impact on the outcome of an election if they all respond.
.The million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming victory in this state if they all show up at the polls.
It might not keep hundreds more from dying between now and the next election,
but a turn out to vote by the military against this heart breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just lets our soldiers die.
. Veterans: Get the word out! High Priority!

Thanks Jan! I have been posting for over a week that the next step, (forget the budget and debt ceiling; we are wasting our time), is to get principled people nominated and elected. We do that we can take back the senate and keep the house and stop further legislative crimes. Question is, of course, is Obama ready to take the government over by force as some suggest. I hope the military will then stand with all Americans and disobey his order to quell the riots. Also, there is the major question of the fixing of elections. We must be very vigilant.
David: Please spread the word? Thank you for promoting this.
May you and yours be blessed. Remember, AMERICA, BLESS GOD.
Jan, I'd support a movement to pull completely out of the Iraq and Afghanistan. The soldiers there are sitting targets and I don't see how they can accomplish any mission without proper support. It is great to hear about the military organizing to defeat the democrats. We have to make sure those overseas get a ballot in 2014. I have been promoting the need to work to get principled nominees and then get them elected in 2014. Too many want to take up arms now.
