On Politics

I tend to shy away from political commentary here as it wouldn’t be right for an active duty soldier, especially one in my position, to endorse a candidate or criticize a sitting or potential commander in chief. I did, however, read an excellent letter to the editor over at Note-It-Posts that I thought to share with you. Feel free to share it with your friends…

I think it is about time someone stood up for President Bush and thanked him for his selfless dedication to our country and his job as leader of our great nation. In the last few weeks, we have read little in this newspaper but libelous untruths about our President, a decent and honest man.

Thank you President Bush for bringing dignity and character back to the White House.

Thank you President Bush for using the intelligence information provided to you to make America safe again.

Thank you President Bush for having the courage of your convictions and not flip-flopping to gain political popularity.

Thank you President Bush for trying to make the lives of the common everyday people better and [sic] by easing our tax burden.

Thank you President Bush for easing governmental restrictions to make small business profitable again.

Thank you President Bush for having FAITH.

Thank you President Bush for keeping control of OUR destiny and not bowing to such organizations as the WTC and UN.

Most of all, thank you for being our President, our leader, our commander and chief. [sic]

In the spirit of providing equal time for the candidates, I also came across a fabulous video of the Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate via Electric Venom.

Bottom line people- just VOTE! And YES, that IS an order soldier. Sgt Hook out.

  3. Good to see you, Hook. Hope things are going well there. I’m starting to think we should call in Afghani elections officials to keep an eye on ours here since they seem to have pulled it off so well! All Iknow about this coming week is that the politics are going to be ugly. With all that, we’re still in debt to your and your boys/girls for the freedom to yell at each other for it. ;)

  4. Go Kerry! It’s not surprising that you are a pro-Bush military guy, but realize that HALF of America is voting for Kerry/Edwards!

  6. Just imagine if it was important to everyone to vote instead of just those who are informed on the consequences of not voting.

  7. NEW YORK (CNN) — Former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik said Saturday that withdrawing his name from consideration for Homeland Security secretary “was the right thing to do.”

In view of a recent tendency to identify characters in fiction with real people, it seems proper to state that there are no real people in this volume: both the characters and their names are ficticious. The names or designations of any military units are ficticious. There are no living people nor existing military units presented in this book. -Ernest Hemingway

Fiddler's Green


Halfway down the road to hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
