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!
