If you're not familiar with the difference between the terms Ex-Marine and Former Marine, It's like this. No Marine having taken the oath ever regards that oath to be invalid. Those men are Former Marines, because they no longer serve active duty. That is the only thing they no longer do. Ask any of them and they will give their lives for the USA up until the time they pass on.
An Ex-Marine is somone who used to be a Marine, but is now a worthless piece of shit. Like the late Senator John Murtha, who pre-accused the Marines involved in the Hadita incident with cold blooded murder. It's not that they were just "fellow Marines" They were that, but they were also Americans who should be afforded the guiding principle of law in the US of Innocent Until Proven Guilty. He didn't even honor that.
Every one of those Marines was examined in military court and cleared of charges before Murtha passed on. Did he apologize? No. Murtha dies an Ex-Marine. a self enriching POS.
The current story. If Marines proudly call themselves Former Marines, imagine what Former Special Forces People call themselves and more importantly what standards they uphold. The point of this story is that you'll be hard pressed to find a former special forces member who doesn't respect the office of the President. That is why THIS Video is so unprecedented. I don't think a group of former military men like these Ever took a sitting president's pants down and took him to task like this in public.
But that's what they did. This is not the Swift Boat guys. Those guys merely, honestly, and accurately testified to the character of a man -J Kerry- who was Campaigning for the office. Fortunately, he was never elected to POTUS. Two different things.
Honestly - to watch Americans Dying. To deny over 30 Americans assistance when the White House, Pentagon, and State Dept knew Exactly what was happening on American Soil. It's unbelievable. It is exactly the same as having Americans murdered at the UN building in New York and having the White House say, Ah, ignore it.
It is a sad testament to the times we are living in that 0bama has a chance at winning another term.

DeleteThe thing that struck me the most was their demeanor. The seriousness of their facial expressions that bely their anger at cowardice in the face of aggression. These men, God bless them all, have taken their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the US against all enemies, foreign and domestic and do so until their last breath.
ReplyDeleteThey hail from a time when that was paramount. They see, feel and ruminate over the loss of American exceptionalism, patriotism and leadership this Administration has left on the field for all to see.
Rosey, Excellent comment. Agreed 100%. I thought I already replied to this, but don't see it so I will again.
DeleteKid, reposting this on my blog. Excellent vid. And timely.
ReplyDeleteOpus, Thank you. I was obviously as moved by the weight and gravity of these men.
DeleteWill be passing this on-
ReplyDeleteThank you Kid-

Thanks Carol-CS, Take a look at blackfive.net today regards actions with Generals/Admirals in the ME. Nothing solid for sure, but interesting.
DeleteSO...is this on TV? Anybody seen it? WHY can't Americans see this stuff...? they should be! What struck me is the age of these men; that generation's dying out and I believe liberals have been counting on that and, frankly, I believe they pulled their "bring American down to its knees" push five years too soon. They'd have had less resistance if they'd waited. The Tea Party members are largely older, too, I think.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, they've indoctrinated our youth to NOT be like these amazing men of character and patriotism and honor.
great video...sorry to put a downer on it!

Z, If it was ever on TV, it wouldn't get anywhere near the channels the idiots watch. There Are some of these men today. I know some, but no where near what used to be. I also fear the fire will die out.

"I also fear the fire will die out."
ReplyDeleteNo way in Hell will it die out! Our young men and women coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan and wherever else they may be stationed, will carry the ball. Also, there are still a lot of us Vietnam Vets that have another 20 years or so left in us. Do you honestly think that we "baby killers" will EVER forget or forgive the ASSHOLES from the left and the way they treated us all those years ago? NOT A CHANCE! We are fighting the same breed today, and we WILL continue to fight them.
I've heard of threats of riots in the streets if NOMObama wins. All I have to say to those MORONS is "BRING IT ON!"
Average American, Well I'll never give up. And yes, let the libtards bring it on! - to those who actually have experience and are prepared. Yea, bring it on.
DeleteWith respect sir, I just see the slow march. All it took was LBJ and Carter to FUBAR the country. how many losers did we have in 1960 (when times actually WERE tough for the middle class) and how many today? As far as redistribution, I'll admit if they start taking all my assets to support these losers, I'm buggin out. Maybe Canada, they've seen the disaster that socialism is.
Oh, by the way, I stole this to "redistribute!"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment Average American. You can't steal from me though, it's all free. I'm honored anytime someone wants to use my stuff.
