The Obama Regime has zero idea what it’s doing.
The fall of Iraq and our equipment now in the hands of ISIS (Al Qaida).
The equipment is reportedly being taken to Syria to fight Assad’s forces.
I guess this generation now knows how it felt for Vietnam vets as they watched Saigon fall. History is repeating itself.
Did Bergdahl desert his post or not? Susan Rice said he served honorably, Sean Smith, a soldier who was in his outfit said he deserted. So what is it? Rumor has it his disappearance was under investigation as a deserter, well you can’t have it both ways.
If he deserted he should have been left to the Taliban. If it was a misunderstanding and he was captured against his will then I’m glad he is back. Either way somebody has some ‘splainin to do.
His Dad certainly does not promote a lot of faith in the latter.
At the end of the brief event, the soldier’s father, Bob Bergdahl, recited the most frequent phrase in the Koran — “Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim” —which means “In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Compassionate.”
After Bergdahl finished his statement and his praise for Allah, Obama hugged him.

You want to see the difference is between the left and the right, watch the clip. A Nod to Weasel Zippers for the clip.
…but the Ukraine ain’t one of ’em. Not that he does not want to fix, it’s the how that has him and his minions stymied.
The other bias is against raw IQ. Mass media is most likely the fault here. Using the Big Five personality types, our politicians will all score high on extroversion and agreeableness. These are not the traits common with deep thinkers or people challenging convention. The vast layer just below the waterline, made up of aides, appointed managers and consultants are primarly spear catchers and bomb throwers. These people got to where they are by displaying fierce loyalty and shrewd timing. They knew when to back the winners and when to avoid the losers. None of them are there to rethink anything.
A stable of yes men may make you feel good about yourself, but does little to solve problems.
I’d add that meddling by careerist barnacles like Victoria Nuland is the real problem. The semi-permanent foreign policy bureaucracy has purged itself of anyone not fully in support of empire. That means anyone bright enough to challenge the prevailing policies is hustled out and replaced with a spear catcher. The result is an army of credentialed nitwits backed by the worlds biggest economy and the world’s baddest military. America in the realm of foreign policy is Justin Bierber with a shotgun. read more
I have not seen this before, maybe some of you have. You may want to have some tissues on hand.
I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either. – Chris Kyle
Story behind this? Her dad was leaving on a 2 year deployment.
She was crying and wouldn’t let go of her dad’s hand, even when he stood in line saluting.
No one had the heart to break them apart.
Amazing what our military does, to bad Obama thinks so little of them.
I have seen a few of these pics over the last year or so. Soldiers blowin’ shit up and not flinching, (other than the dog at the bottom who is gettin the hell outta there). The thing I find interesting is the races of these soldiers, all brothers in arms. It’s not about race, it’s about survival and having each others back.
With Obama and his useful idiots doing their best to divide a nation they could learn something from this picture. It’s not about race or income, it’s about being an American and surviving the good times and the bad.
