What is it about these Democratic presidents that they can’t seem to understand what our military is for? Clinton sent the US Navy to Haiti, apparently with orders not to shoot, and our ships were ordered home when some thugs threatened them from the end of a pier. Now Obama has done something similar with the Somali pirates. If you are going to threaten force, you’d better be prepared to use it. Obama, just as Clinton, has misused our Navy.
