HUH!??!
Kowtow*:illustration below...
My TAKE--the 'brass' at the top including our so called 'Commander in Chief ' ?? who doesn't even know the proper pronunciation of
Corpsman (Corpse-man)...Should :
1)Remove the new RoEs Rules of Engagement---they are getting our troops killed....
2)Look out for OUR Troops instead of cowtowing (English spelling).. (kowtowing* is the bowing exhibited by bho)
to what the Afghan 'non government' wants..outlined in blue below...
3)Look out for OUR COUNTRY and get out of there.....
George Washington was right!!---stay out of the affairs of other countries unless an attack is made on us in the US...
Never thought I'd state this --GET OUR GUYS OUT>>>>>
bho and his Alinsky minions still have a "BLAME THE MILITARY" attitude...
Exerpts from article:
>The
investigations are a departure for the U.S. military, which until recently has been reluctant to second-guess commanders whose decisions might have played a role in the deaths of soldiers in enemy action.
In response to the recent reprimands, some military officials have argued that casualties are inevitable in war and that a culture of
excessive investigations could make officers risk-averse.
>despite reports from soldiers that they were left short of basic supplies, such as water and construction material, to build defenses.
>Both the squadron and
brigade commanders overseeing the
Kamdesh outpost had been pressing to close it for months after they determined that it made no sense to keep troops in the area. But plans to close the outpost were
regularly delayed because of pressure from Afghan officials, who did not want to cede territory to the Taliban, and because of other missions deemed a higher priority. Mullen and Gates are typical CYAers--and - I never thought I'd say this.--..
Kowtowers (Cowtowers) to the progressive side as is Colin Powell...
>The Pentagon's top leaders --
Adm. Mike Mullen, the Joint Chiefs chairman, and Defense Secretary
Robert M. Gates -- also have been quicker to dismiss senior officers, fostering a change in the overall culture.
