A "bump in the road"
« on: February 13, 2014, 12:38:19 pm »


This is our wonderful Government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



 Lest we forget!!


 

"A bump in the road" .... remember that calloused statement?


I don't know the author of this poem. Very thought provoking and poignant. I do recall, however, the President referring to the Benghazi incident as "a bump in the road."  I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he had written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives. At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and of course the anchor said yes. He then thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not. He said the Seals who died deserved the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.

The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer  (ANON).


 

     The Battling Boys of Benghazi

We're the battling boys of Benghazi

No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.

Just a fiery death in a blazing hell

Defending our country we loved so well.

It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,

fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.

We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fate

Led them to safety, and stood at the gate.



Just the two of us, and foes by the score,

But we stood fast to bar the door.

Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,

So we fought, and we fought, and we fought 'til we died.



We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,

But Barack Obama didn't give a damn.

Just two dead seals who carried the load

No thanks to us..........we were just "Bumps In The Road".


Could this reach every American with a computer? Or do we act like the press and give a pass to the incompetent people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seals execution on live streaming video and did nothing? The Obama Administration obviously won't be held accountable because, as a nation, we apparently accept Hilary Clinton's statement, "What difference does it make?"

They did good. Acted in the highest traditions of their service and set a new high bar.

Now - where are the scumbag politicians? Do they really think a folded flag to the family and a bit of tin and ribbon is what that is worth? You know, I'd accept Clinton or Obama coming out and saying "We bleep up." You get used to that, it happens, and at least it would be honest.
Not going to happen though.

Since the vast majority of them have never served their country, I believe they think it is sufficient for a life.

They have a lot to learn.
