My son, now 33, has 10 years in the Navy. That time is split between being an Enlisted Man and an Officer. About a year ago, when he was promoted to Lt., I got to meet the Admiral of the command. He was pressing for my son to re-up and wanted to know from my wife and me whether we thought Daron would. At the time I thought it would be a good idea, but not now. As an Enlisted Man he served under Bile Clinton in Aviation Electronics. He once told me they had great equipment but no replacement parts. Under Obama, the upper leadership has been castrated. Democrats, in my opinion, have never gotten over the Civil War and have carried on their hatred for losing slavery to the U.S. Military and have continued to seek out retribution on the military every chance they get. This, of course isn't at the conscious level but was started by southern democrats eager to repay the north for the south's defeat. Since then the hatred has festered and become a major part of the democrat psyche. If my son has to be in a combat situation I want him to have the best weapons available, not bean bag guns, pea shooters which is what democrats would want for our troops.
He has now resigned his commission and I can truly say I am not disappointed. We have a CIC who can't/won't make a decision. Imagine if the had Truman's decision to make. Likely as not he would have a nervous breakdown and in the end decide not to use Little Boy and Fat Man thinking his poll numbers would fall because we had an unfair advantage. We have a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs who is nothing but an Obama Toady who is probably willing to wage a political correct war to the detriment of all those who serve. The military is suffering and suffering badly under this regime and I have no interest in sacrificing my children for them to become beheading fodder, a target for the enemy without the ability to return fire unless approved, or have to give Maranda Rights to some terrorist, face Court Martial if a prisoner gets a bloody nose and complains, etc., etc. We don't have a military which operates to defend America but rather to be lackeys for an America hating, muslim, communist dictator wannbe.
