Military

Gates and Mullen both
called the general’s letter
“inappropriate.”
Mullen went further
declaring,
As a three-star leader
in command,
by virtue of that position alone,
he has great influence.
“If there’s policy direction
that someone in uniform
disagrees with…
the answer is not advocacy,
it is in fact to vote
with your feet.”
In other words:
“Get out.
There is no place for
you in the Obama armed
forces if you support
the present law.”
Polls of U.S. military
personnel have indicated
that 10 percent of those
now in uniform will,
to use Mullen’s phrase,
vote with their feet if the
law is repealed.
Another 15 percent
responded that they
seriously would consider
doing so.
Needless to say,
the effect of such losses
of skilled officers and enlisted
servicemen and women
on an all-volunteer force
could be catastrophic,
especially for a nation at war.

The question occurs:
Is President Obama
deliberately seeking to
“fundamentally change”
the American military as
he has so many other of
our country’s institutions —
among them, the Congress,
the financial sector,
the automobile industry,
the healthcare system,
and student aid programs?
More to the point,
as with his mentor,
Saul Alinsky,
is the real purpose
to wreck these
entities that underpin
our economy, society,
and system of
government?
During the weekend,
President Obama declared
in his tribute to American
troops at Bagram,
Afghanistan:
“I have no greater
honor than serving
as your commander
in chief.”
If he truly means that
and wants to support,
rather than undermine,
those who serve,
he should put an end to
social experimentation
with the armed forces.
And that is what the
rest of us must do if,
as is evidently the case,
Mr. Obama remains intent —
such rhetoric to the
contrary notwithstanding —
on pursuing a wrecking
operation against
our military.
