…What Col. West Said! ‘Shut Your Mouth; War Is Hell!’

I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:

‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’

Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:

“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?

“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.

“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”

I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.

American Sniper and Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle, Speaks to Bill O’Reilly (VIDEO)

One of this country’s best heroes, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, appeared on Bill O’Reilly tonight not only to promote his new book, “American Sniper,” but to tell the tale of his experiences in the Middle East as the most sucessful American sniper, as well as his convictions of his accomplishments. He not only performed so well to save the lives of his fellow military men & women, but also the innocent Iraqi men, women and children, against what he calls (as well as most others do) “savages;” savages who would rape, murder, and torture their fellow countrymen and women in the name of their “god.”

I think Bill O was a bit out of line in his questioning of Kyle, pressing him on his conviction that what he had done was the right thing. In the end, however, Kyle acquitted himself quite well for this interview.

You don’t agree with Kyle? Sucks to be you, but he did what his country asked him to do, and I think he did an out-freaking-STANDING job as a SEAL. America is a safer country because of men like him.

By the way…I wish there was video of Kyle knocking out Jesse (the freak) Ventura in that SEAL bar. That would have been a SWEET deal. Jesse Ventura is a worthless P.O.S. and I’m glad he met Kyle on that particular day.

Soon after meeting Kyle, Jesse met the floor. LOL @ Jesse the fool.

This weekend on John Stossel’s show, he talked with Gary Sinise about all the philanthropic work he’s done with the troops, as well as the patriotic themes often seen on his hit show “CSY: NY.” Gary Sinise is one fantastic American, and I never knew just how many groups he was involved with until I saw this special with Stossel.

Honestly, when does this man sleep? Either way, I salute Gary Sinise and thank God for giving us such a special human being to look up to. If each of us could only give a 10th of what Gary Sinise gives to our fellow man, the whole world would be a brighter place.

Bret Baier Makes the Warrior 100K Bike Ride With George W. Bush & Some Wounded Warriors (VIDEO)

From the Warrior 100K Ride homepage:

As part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center’s Social Enterprise Initiative, the Warrior 100K Bike Ride highlighted the bravery and physical strength of the warriors wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan, as well as those organizations that have made continuing commitments to supporting America’s heroes.

The three day event provided an opportunity for military support organizations to highlight their good work and was sponsored by several companies and individuals that have generously contributed their time and resources to support America’s servicemen and women.

Fox News’ Bret Baier joined along in the ride, and reported back on this fantastic cause and the ride itself. Some of the heroes in the story were U.S. Army Specialist Juan Carlos Hernandez, Army Sgt. Major Chris Self, Marine SSgt. Andy Hatcher, Army Sgt. Sam Cila, and Army Specialist Jacob Lerner. The ride took place from April 25th to the 27th of this year.

This bike ride was through the desert southwest part of Texas, and by all accounts was a grueling trek. But even though some sustained damage to their prostheses, or were injured during the ride, there wasn’t a single one who complained. I love to see W. interact with our troops…the relationship is obviously a warm one, and the friendships are felt both ways.

I really admire President Bush and, even more, our heroic men and women in the military who have sacrificed more than most of us can imagine. I hope you all took a few moments of your holiday today and this weekend, and said some prayers and thank-yous to all of them.

By the way, there are many other videos you should check out over on the 100K ride page.

On tonight’s edition of Follow the Money on the Fox Business Network, Eric Bolling featured a group of real American heroes and patriots who, year-round, stand at the ready to greet America’s Military heroes as they return home, flying into the airport at Bangor Maine. The “Maine Troop Greeters” are the focus of a movie called “The Way We Get By,” which is based on their experiences greeting the troops as they return home from the Middle East.

What a heart-warming story. And what dedication! This group is ready round-the-clock, with an early shift that gets to the airport for the first flight of each day.

BONUS: Check out the trailer for this movie. If you don’t at least get a lump in your throat, you ain’t human.
