This response to the recent spate of Donk defeatism from the likes of Kennedy, Kerry, Mutha-fMurtha, and their ilk totally nails it! GO READ THIS POST!
The article concludes thusly:
Not only does the Democratic leadership deny the transparent fact that Iraq is indeed the front line in the War on Terror, but it feels the need to apologize for our nation’s ability to deliver unrelenting, but prudent lethality onto our deserving enemies. Thus, their warped template for fighting a war: pull out when the blood starts to flow.
Against this strategy of defeat, the president has called for staying the course. Staying the course isn’t a campaign slogan; it is a life support message for those of us in the midst of battle. Congressman Murtha above all others should know the perils inherent in dictating military policy from across the Potomac. I imagine he can still taste the spittle of anti-war protestors from 30 years ago. As was the case in Vietnam, the American soldier cannot be defeated on the field of battle. It is only the failure of the political class to stomach the hardships of combat that stands in the way of our victory.
There’s much worth reading that leads to this conclusion, so go to it!
The writer’s background and experience gives him unquestioned qualification to respond to the Donk spokesmen of treason, defeatism, and sedition, which he does with a vengeance – not of vitriol, but of cold reason and analysis, devastatingly applied:
David Bellavia is a former Army Staff Sergeant who served in the First Infantry Division for six years. He has been recommended for the Medal of Honor by his leadership, and has been nominated for the Distinguished Service Cross. He has received the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, the Conspicuous Service Cross (New York states highest combat valor award) and was recently inducted into the New York State Veteran’s Hall of Fame. His Task Force 2-2 Infantry has fought on such battlefields as Al Muqdadiyah, An Najaf, Al Fallujah, Mosul, and Baqubah. His actions in Fallujah, Iraq were documented in the November 22, 2004 cover story “Into the Hot Zone†by award winning journalist Michael Ware. He is 30 years old.
Murtha et al aren’t worthy of shining this man’s boots.
