and choosing. We all take turns doing or saying what we feel regarding partisan issues. But what I know most of us regardless of party do support our troops. And are saddened by the loss of life in their endeavor to protect and preserve our freedoms.
What is disturbing is that while our politicians also express regret at the loss of life in the wars in the mid east, out of the other side of the politicians mouths they in fact increase the danger our armed forces encounter with the restrictions that are placed on those in harms way. The following is one of many articles written from time to time on the subject:
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Troops-chafe-at-restrictive-rules-of-engagement_-talks-with-Taliban-1226055-105202284.html
Our representatives obviously place a higher value on the politics than they do on the lives of our troops. How could that possibly be? Allowed?
Petraeus said he was going to change the rules of engagement. OK....so how many more have to be killed before he does so. We all know he is hampered by the politics. And unfortunately he has become too much a politician.
Our enemies must laugh them selves to sleep knowing what they can and do get away with. I cannot imagine being told that as long as the guy who is shooting at me to kill me drops his weapon he cannot be fired upon.
Where is the rage of the parents, wives, fathers, sons, daughters of those in such danger?
Where is the media (:1rotfl:) on the issue?
Where is Obama (:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:) on the issue?
If you are bothered by the rules of engagement that are killing our troops....do something about it. Write your representatives (:1rotfl:) and demand the rules of engagement be changed to give our troops a "FIGHTING" chance. Demand they allow our troops to win the war.
I have written....will you.
