We lost a great American yesterday. You probably saw the news about the Islamic terrorist attack on a hotel in Libya. One American, David Berry, was killed trying to hold off the terrorist's advance. Dave was a patriot and a great American. He grew up in southern Arizona and was my son's best friend in high school. He was a regular fixture at our quarters at Fort Huachuca, eating pizza rolls and talking about becoming a Marine. When they graduated from high school Dave joined the Marines as an infantryman. Sgt Berry showed up at my son's graduation from West Point in his dress Marine uniform to give him the first salute. He did 12 years in the Marines, multiple combat tours, and was a DLI graduate and fluent in Arabic. The last few years he's been a security specialist and consultant with a couple of security companies and spent the last year between Lebanon and Libya. He leaves a wife and four kids. He loved this country and all that it stands for. RIP Dave. Break, break..... How many Americans (and others) have to die before this country wakes up? We have a cancer spreading (Islamic extremism) and we have an administration that won't even identify it. It's spreading across the middle east, Africa, Europe and here. We pull out of Iraq and (as predicted) the vacuum is filled with ISIS fanatics. Our military is being cut to record lows. Now we even negotiate with these thugs and do prisoner swaps. This commander-in-chief can't close Gitmo fast enough and is just setting terrorists free so he can. This cancer needs to be exterminated before it becomes terminal. Political correctness isn't going to do it. Rant over.
One huge bomb would turn that desert into the largest glass parking lot. (Just saying) Stop sending our troops already and drop the real bombs. Japan learned the lesson and they have survived.
Our President does not believe in America. I'm not sorry if this statement offends anyone I don't care I will speak the truth. Its time for people to get involved in the political process. Call and right(not email) you representatives. We owe it to people like Davit Berry and others that have stepped into harms way for this country. Its the least we can do.
