Appeal to Veterans
This
needs to get circulated. I am a veteran and join with all other vets
to get this out to more vets and informed civilians .
Interestingly
enough, when GWB was president we heard about the the military deaths
in Iraq and Afghanistan almost daily. With Obama in the White House,
the mainstream media has been strangely quiet. ---
More
than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in
the last 27 months. This is more than the combined total of the nine
years before. Thirty died in August. During the last month, over 50
additional NATO and US servicemen have been murdered, inside jobs by
those who are hired to be a force for good in Afghanistan.
It
has taken on a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do about him, but
the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end in
sight to the idiocy of this war. Obama has had 4 years to end this
futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed, golfed,
campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in
uniform. But there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to
launch a massive get out the vote drive against this president.
Not
just current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the
retired, and all other prior service members. This is no small special
interest group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous
impact on the outcome of the November election if they all respond.
The
million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming
victory in that state if they all show up at the polls. It might not
keep another one hundred U.S. troops from dying between now and
November, but a turn out to vote by the military against this heart
breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a
change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just lets
our soldiers die.
