Mene, Mene, Tekel, Tekel, the writing is on the wall. The kingdom is at hand. Call it cause and effect, the principle of rhythm or just plain common sense. The truth has become obvious; America’s sense of self has descended into the greatest threat to Empire. That is a deluded sense of self. We are speaking about a sense of delusion so grandiose that it has become taboo to even speak about mistakes and/ or much needed corrections.
Recently W has been witnessed speaking the “M” word, i.e mistake. While certainly an admission; both he and the Honorable Condoleeza Rice have refused, thus far, to reveal what the foreign policy mistakes have been. While it is all too easy to focus on Katrina, NSA spying, Jack Abramoff, Scooter, Larry Franklin, Russian moles, 911 and etc., etc., etc. Let us get to the cut and dried aspects of America’s current reality.
People are scared to speak, talk, discuss, or evaluate the prospects and/or aspects of America’s place in the world. This is especially so, if these thoughts are divergent from the boss mans perspective. What we are talking about is the most basic precept of America and what makes it unique, the Freedom of Speech. Once again, we have to rely upon those who have been willing to pay the ultimate price. I am talking about the soldiers and officers of America’s Armed Services.
Soldiers are trained to follow orders and protect the Constitution of the United States. The Chain of Command is damn near inviolable. Therefore, for an officer of high rank to publicly oppose the decision making process of the Sec Def and the CINC, they must feel that the soul of America and its’ Constitution are facing a serious threat. When these soldiers and Generals begin speaking out, we need to be very concerned. This is because the Generals have seen and experienced it all, including; the politics, the big picture and the body bags.
Furthermore, when a General of the 82nd Airborne speaks out; you best believe I am all ears. This is especially so, when this particular General led the elite 82nd Airborne Division during its mission in Iraq. We are no longer talking about radical, elitist, left- wing, liberal, politicians spewing rhetoric. What we are talking about now is boots on the ground soldiers that have been sniffing blood and sand. The soldiers in the 82nd don’t have time to whine or bitch or cry. They are all about Mission Accomplished and if they are speaking out or protesting, you best believe there is something interfering with their mission.
Maj. Gen. Charles Swannack, Maj. Gen. John Batiste, Centcom Chief Anthony Zinni, Army Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold, you are all heroes and your dedication to the United States of America is deeply appreciated and respected by this civilian. All of you have taken a risk and put your legacies on the line because of your love for America. Whether it all goes FUBAR or repairs itself you will be known as the ones who uttered the call for change for yourselves, for America and for your soldiers. That is why you are True American Patriots.
