The Commander in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama II

[Dante]

The third time was two weeks ago in a private visit in Phoenix, where Sergeant Remsburg did something that neither Mr. Obama nor military doctors would once have predicted: he stood up and saluted his commander in chief. - http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/23/u...er-3-meetings-and-a-lesson-in-resilience.html

This soldier loves his CinC and President. It's admirable how President Obama inspires so much in some of the wounded who have done what most wingnuts who claim to support the military and wars of a certain age would never do -- serve America in a time of need and war.

What's remarkable is that the President maintained contact with the guy before and after his injury.

shh, it's part of the conspiracy.

Personal claim by Obama that his benefits would not be cut, and he would be on the fast track to more free shit from the democrat party.

When the politicians, including a president, has to start kow-towing to the military the nation is in trouble, it is what third-world nations do. The military owes its duty and allegiance to the nation not to politicians. One of the greatest deeds president Truman did when president, was fire MacArthur, one of the worst, was FDR's rescuing MacArthur from Bataan.

your lack of honesty and intelligence is showing

fool. rescuing MacArthur? He was told to sneak out and sneak out he did. He was not rescued. MacArthur helped and the war in our favor. His not being held a POW was in the national interest and had nothing to do with kowtowing ... could go on but there is so much wrong with your imbecilic post it is astounding and tiresome

Ok, that's one.

The guy was probably out of his mind on pain meds.

Yeah right, Barry Hussein recognized a shockingly wounded Soldier that he allegedly saw five years ago during a photo op. When are politicians (and the NY Times) going to stop using wounded Soldiers for political tools? Barry Hussein could have ended the war in Afghanistan in his first two years with a democrat congress and senate while this guy was in one piece but he either doesn't have the balls or he is using the conflict for his own amusement while he sets the rules so Soldiers have to call the Pentagon before they pull the trigger. .

Yep, those PT boats just happened to be in the area and the airplane just happened to be sitting on the runway to help MacArthur, his wife, son and maid sneak out. Too bad others on Bataan could'nt have been that lucky to sneak out. MacArthur made many mistakes and the costliest was the invasion of the Philippines, not needed. Another, and his first on New Guinea, was bloody Buna. There are plenty of others. His goal was to enhance the MacArthur ego and image,

Having as senior an officer as MacArthur captured was unthinkable. The Allies targeted a high level Japanese officer and sent his plane to the dark deep waters and Japan suffered greatly for it.

grow up.

Just as I suspected the poor boy was brain damaged. Probably also saluted coatracks.

What does Yamamoto have to do with MacArthur being escorted out of the Philippines?
Many senior officers were captured during WWII and my point was that MacArthur cost many needless deaths for American troops by convincing FDR to retake the Philippines, not because the Philippines were needed to defeat Japan but because of MacArthur's image. "I shall return," was at stake. Many mistakes are made during a war but to cause deaths to enhance the commanding officer's image is wrong; I have returned.
The Philppines did not have to be retaken but once invaded the southern islands were also retaken and those were of no value in the war against Japan, but they did cost American lives.

USMB Right Wingers desparetely try to maintain the illusion our military still looks like this:

When it actually looks like how the rest of the country looks:

Propaganda and morale as very important in any war and that is one of the reasons
FDR and others backed Mac's retaking of the Islands


geesh, what a dolt you can be
