20. The enemy can take this country, but they can never hold it. Even if our government falls, we shall take up arms and slaughter the invaders. It may cost us a hundred million lives, but they shall never strip us of our freedom.

#22 PAUL,re: JAVELIN: He’s not jumping to conclusions, he’s jumping into the sewer of libtard talking points and condescension,which substitutes for arguments among the mentally disturbed. BTW: “ugly and little ” is what his NAMBLA-provided boytoy calls JAvelin’s “javelin”.

Nice to see all the ugly little minds here once again exploiting the tragedy to aim more bigotry and hatred against Obama.

ArmyLifer: Who is going to prevent them from prevailing?
-American soldiers, hamstrung by PC self-punitive rules of engagement who have as much power as San Francisco beat cops.
-Our Dept of Homeland Security, who is more concerned with going to AbuDhabi to mollify Arabs and promise to avert “anti-Muslim backlash”
-Gen’l Casey, who cares more about diversity than dead soldiers.
-The CiC, who is not willing to confront the enemy or even mention its name.

We are like Rome before the fall: the army defending Rome from the barbarians at the gate while the barbarians are in the army, and a decadent civilian population more concerned with bread and circuses. Only this time, the barbarian-apologists are ruling!

Why fight terrorists abroad when terrorists have infiltrated our army and terror-apologists permeate the MSM and the powers-that-be?

America is truly circling the drain.

Don’t jump stupidly to conclusion — first thing first, let’s give the time to the Justice Department to go to the bottom with the CIA inquiry and have those guily of unspeakable crimes at Gitme, in Iraq and Afghanistan exemplarly punished (public hanging would be a good procedure).

And after that, with our prestige so enhanced, we can extend an apologetic hand (and some help) to all Muslim countries and Muslims in the world, explain them how wrong we were (and still can be), and ask them what we should do to avoid what caused to a marvelous person like mister Hasan snap and chose his, perhaps a bit unusual, way to soothe his anguishes –

To be liked again when having the sinister legacy of Bush and Cheney years behind is not an easy thing – don’t jump stupidly to conclusions and let Barack Obama be Barack Obama -

SGT Mom – I came in during the Reagan era and am still serving. I had to stand before my battalion formation and try to say something – anything – to share their disbelief that this could actually happen (again). I almost did it dry-eyed. Smartymarty, I said the “we” as in the nation and military services – not the “we” as envisioned by the POTUS. We live in different spheres of cognizance. My – our America is in pain. His America is, well – perhaps I shouldn’t speculate as to where his America is.

To those of you who have served, are serving, or are contemplating service – I salute and thank you. Continue to show the world that indeed we are exceptional, that we earned our place as sole ‘superpower’ over and over again. Don’t let the nay-sayers win. We cannot, we must not and we shall not let them prevail.

Fort Hood was indeed an atrocity on our soil perpetrated by a domestic Islamic terrorist, but let’s not forget what today is: Veterans Day

Once again, we honor today those brave millions who have served and fought for our country over its history. Without them, we would not have a history.

We especially pay tribute to those now fighting in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. May they all come home healthy.

Remember to fly our flag!

I proudly reprint here last year’s two Veterans Day salutes:

It was the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month when the ”War to End All Wars,” “the Great War,” ended in 1918 with the declaration of an armistice.

The fighting was over between the Allies and Germany, the bloodletting was finished, even though the politicians took another seven months to declare an official end to what would become known as World War I with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles: http://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetdayhistory.asp

Ironically, the punitive and shortsighted nature of that treaty . . .

Dwight, I agree the part of the speech I caught was good. It made me wonder why Obama doesn’t say these types of things more often. Unfortunately, I do not believe he has undergone a transformation of character or a conversion to the concept of American exceptionalism. More likely he found a decent speech writer and managed a credible delivery. I suspect he will be back to apologies and appeasement before too long, which makes me sad. At least he refrained from doing that today or making it too much about himself, at least in what I heard. So while I still believe he is far to narcissistic, self indulgent, willfully ignorant, and smug. At least he is not completely crass and totally insensitive.

May they all rest in peace and may their loved ones also find peace.

I cannot bring myself to watch any coverage of the President’s speech.
