... of the all volunteer Armed Forces of the United States of America!!!
Do either Obamanation or Romney remember that?
Of all the stump speeches I've heard from both of these two candidates, including both soaring rhetoric and bottom feeding mudslinging, I have heard neither speak to, about, or for our young men and women in uniform!
Two hundred and nineteen have died in Afghanistan alone this year --- Forty were killed just in July. These numbers don't include the wounded and maimed.
Where are the words of concern and plans to withdraw these folks from harms way?
Similar numbers of our uniformed brothers and sisters have died by their own hand during this period. 187 active-duty and reserve soldiers have committed suicide during these first seven months of 2012. Thirty-eight just in July. And these are just the acknowledged suicides, not the ignored or uninvestigated deaths.
Where is the outcry? What will Commander in Chief Obamanation do different if he gets a second term? What is Commander in Chief Romney plan to stop this loss of life if he gets elected?
These are the questions we should be asking.... Not these damned foolish questions about tax returns or rounds of golf or Michelle's $7,000 shirts....
These good men and women are patriot volunteers, not third world conscripts, and they deserve the full attention of their Commander-in-Chief!!
Not to mention the voters of the USA!
We as a Nation, are at war, and apparently those folks in the ivory towers of the White House don't realize or feel the need to recognize that fact.....
