Politicians Betray Military, Again!

With the passage of the repeal of the law banning homosexuals from serving openly in the US Armed Forces, the politicians have once again shown their complete disdain of our brave men and women in uniform. "Politicians" includes democrats, republicans, and Pentagon brass. Once a service member reaches the 'lofty heights' (or, the depths of turpitude) of Pentagon leadership,that service member is no more than a political hack, similar to the 'leadership' in congress today. This is not the first time that leftist and self-serving politicians have used social engineering in the military. It is to be remembered that the Pentagon authorized and ordered LSD testing on our own troops. And the military denied the effects of Agent Orange for decades, not to mention Gulf War Syndrome from the first Gulf War. And today, our VA is an abysmal disgrace, mis-treating our wounded or not treating them at all, and our Commander in Chief even proposed that our wounded pay for their own medical expenses. In congress, people like John Murtha make false accusations against our troops in the combat zone, Senate Leader Reid proclaims that the war in Iraq is lost, and our troops are severely restricted in their ability to even defend themselves, much less win a war. These politicians are working to dismantle our military because the US military is the last bastion of pro-America belief in our tepid government. We the people spoke in November against this type of policy and these criminals in Washington refused to listen. We shall have to continue to speak consistently and loud. Pete Dawkins retired as a Brigadier General because to continue on the path he was on would have landed him in the midst of the political pigsty that is the Pentagon, and to do so would have caused him to compromise everything he lived his life for: duty, honor, country. The very things politicians do not understand, and if they do, they despise. God bless the United States of America and our wonderful military men and women.
