@Old Trooper:

OP#3 sounds like a pretty good gig. I’ve been retired from the Army for a grand total of 71 hours and I’m already thinking that a cold night, lots of stars, and interlocking fields of fire would give me a warm fuzzy.

Eternally maladjusted,

Obama is a no Win guy for America and You and I know it. We follow Orders or Retire like I did. I left my dress blues and my sword at the house. McChrystal called Obama out... I would have done the same. 5 minutes left on battery here. Take Care Fred... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziTIh_iaBNI&feature=related

Nope. Obama is a no Win guy for America and You and I know it.

We follow Orders or Retire like I did. I left my dress blues and my sword at the house.

McChrystal called Obama out…

I would have done the same.

Take Care Fred…

He is in a NO WIN situation with Obooboo in the Oval Office, and someone has gotta fall on that sword you know... I don't see McChrystal doing that...

TexasFred, the General is not buying into any of it it.

No Strategy so far. You cannot "wing it" and win a war. The American People bought it and are regretting it big time. They fell for it Fred. I did not. Greta, They listened to Colin and not Ms. Rice. Obama plays the public but Condi plays fine piano. Sent from Winter OP #3, 33F outside and coffee is on for the bold ones and business as usual here. Battery powered laptop from Montana. Made in Japan but I rode an American made horse up here. How about that? Flurries of snow in the air but no Black Helicopters. Old Trooper from OP#3 in the still Free State of Montana. Winter is on here. A little fun for you FA folks... I was determined to be not fit for Warrant Officer Flight School but led out the door America's response into the Stans. No Worries here.

Men who believed that if they surround themselves with only people who support them and tell others how things should be that magically the world will go along with them. PEBO thinks if he tells the Generals how the war should be fought that it will go off as he plans it, not how situations on the ground dictate. Clueless is the word that always comes to mind.

Where is the diversity. He was elected to bring change. Bush had more diversity with Condi and Colin in the room and they were in lead positions. barry is the only black and he is half black. Everyone else is white. and as to women, the only one I see is Hillary. So when the going gets tough on war issues, barry turns to a bunch of white guys. This is change we can believe in? This is a democratic administration?
