Hack bows out

AF A-10's picture

G'Day my fellow Citizen bloggers.

It's been a couple of weeks since our de'tent, but I see the gravitational pull back to the standard partisan nature of all arguments here. It is a partisan attempt to turn all issues into a red vs blue or democrat vs republican view. the democratic and especially republican parties are so fractured with widely differing views these days, it's hard for me to see how one can frame the "big issues of the day" into right vs left. I'll sign off by saying this: Those that feel we must perpetually stay in Iraq to avoid paying the price later do not realize we are paying right now.
I am in Oklahoma, the heart of tornado ally. Recovery efforts are hampered because half of the Guard's retreival equipment is in Iraq.
We are paying now with 15 month combat tours.
We are paying now with a spike in military suicide rates, bankruptcies, and divorces.
Our fight in Iraq is not keeping us safe here. Excellent police work is keeping us safe here. The FBI, law enforcement, Dept of Homeland Security, and alert citizens are keeping us safe here (reference Fort Dix and the planned attack by YUGOSLAVIANS and Middle Easterners). The enemies of the US are much more widely spread than Iraq. I believe we are developing a false attribution to Iraq's fight for sovereignty and our safety.
For those among us that continue to focus ire on Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, please try to recall how they came to power. They were elected by a majority of Americans. They were not elected because of the fantastic work of those whom they replaced.
Remember that accountability starts with the architects of this war. As George Tennet trades barbs with his former bosses, Colin Powell remains in deep cover, and Paul Wolfowitz works his magic at the World Bank, please realize that many Americans, who aren't unpatriotic hippies, just want a government that is honest and competent. I have truly never in my lifetime seen the ramifications of poor inteligence, or shaped intelligence, or cherry-picked intelligence rise to this level of international quagmire. I can't use any other term to describe the situation in which we can't walk away from and yet can't define success in.
So as we forgive the administration for allowing failures at Walter Reed on their watch, and unfulfilled promises on Gulf Coast rebuilding on their watch, and unprecedented croniism on their watch, and the erasing of Presidential archives and historical data on their watch, and the politicization of the Department of Justice on their watch,

Do not be surprised on the turn out and results of future elections. The vote is all we citizens have, and I imagine citizens will use their votes to elect those who represent their concerns.

If we vote to keep the current philosophy in Iraq (and foreign policy in general) in place, I will return here and admit how wrong my view of the national climate was. I suspect, however, that we will see a no confidence vote, and a rise in those who call themselves "Independents" because they can't stomach the term "Democrat." All of that said, from my heart I wish you all the best.

God's Speed, safe travels, and a brighter tomorrow.

Cheers,

Kevin "Hack" King

Hack,
Let's assume for the purpose of argument that you are a member of the uniformed military, then as a soldier, airman, sailor, marine, or coastguard member you voluntarily serve. No one has forced the job upon you, you asked for it. You knew the possibilities of an armed conflict when you made that choice.
It does seem to me that you have a serious case of immaturity as you constantly denegrate those who you took a sacred oath to obey. Son, if the job's too tough, or the deployments too long with commensurate separation from loved ones simply resign--you have that option as the Major you portend to be. There are no critical shortages of A-10 pilots and we haven't fought an armored force in say three years. Go with you heart, not the financial security you are waiting on. This country will thank you for your service and wish you no ill will.
Depart with dignity, otherwise you may find yourself in a most embarrassing predicament.

The more you add to this, my last thread, the longer you have to read my typing. And Beaver won't appreciate that at all. Your comment is definitely worth responding to, as you air a very common misrepresentation of what it means to be an officer in the military.

Please highlight for me my "immaturity" and my comments which "denegrate" those who I took a "sacred oath to obey." You'll have a tough time Mikey. Let me, just for you, share the entire officer's oath of office with you (you could have easily found this yourself).

I, (state your name), (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the United States (service branch), as indicated above in the grade of____________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; SO HELP ME GOD.

Mr. Mike, gentleman such as yourself who equate military people to automatons who have no rights to free speech under their God given names are only correct if you are speaking of North Korea, The former USSR, China, or Iran. But here in the good ole' USA, even T-38 pilots who once flew A-10s can use their names and speak their minds. If that doesn't suit your political likings, I would suggest one of the previously mentioned countries for you (oh, and Cuba as well.) As for me, I will immaturely state that increases in military deployment length, suicides, and bankruptcies are bad things. I will state that saying a situation requires a political solution while throwing military men and women at it is not prudent.
Where were you types when President Clinton was in office? You didn't defend the oath to President Clinton, did you? Correct me if I am mistaken.
I'm also very interested in what the "embarrassing predicament" I may find myself in actually is. Please do share this with me. I'm on the edge of my couch in anticipation.

Cheers,

Kevin "Hack" King

Mr King, I still assume that you are an Air Force Major and if you are you know quite well that speaking out publicly against your superiors is not condusive to a successful military career. But since the oath you quoted tells me your correct status in that you move from posting to posting subject to vacancies within your system of employment. Until recently, Active Guard and Reservists did not deploy overseas--Is this what has your drawers in such a knot?
My advice still stands--If you are not totally commited to what you are doing, leave the service else your lack of will may cause some unfortunate soul personal injury or worse.
The men and women of today's and yesterday's military by a vast majority go about their daily routines without finding fault with the life they chose and then airing their emotions on their sleeves as you do.
I stand by my characterization of your immaturity and only wish that you become the professional your potential has demonstrated.
Major, this conversation is over.

Based on your inability to offer support for your, umm, argument, I would say this conversation was over before it started. But thanks for giving me the opportunity to say this:

IT is absolutely below the belt to dance on the grave of an American simply because their moral and political views differ from your own. Al Sharpton said of Mr. Falwell, that he was a decent and good man whom he disagreed with, but respected. One could not be more socially opposed to Rev Falwell than Al Sharpton, but Mr. Sharpton took the opportunity to wish the Falwell's peace. To all who read this, please know that it is not a liberal decision to rejoice in Reverend Falwell's passing. It is a poor PERSONAL decision to do so.

I hope Mr. Falwell is remembered for his homeless shelters and homes for single mothers. Many don't know of these accomplishments, because he did not parade them around. God bless his family, and his good works, while we forgive his many poorly thought out words.

Oh my, this attitude is exactly why we are in the fix we are now in Iraq!
Several senior officers have waited 1-5 years to speak up so as not to lose a star or more.
Are you suggesting that this Major not say what he knows so that he may be assured of his pension?
Bush has always said he listens to his commanders, and yet, now they are saying he doesn't---at least those who are now safely out.
One can see it in the faces of the Joint Chiefs Chairman, the Senate, the House, and certainly the voters in the last general election.
Obeying orders, or resigning, is sacred. No one has told Hack to obey or resign, to my knowledge, because he is doing as assigned, just as Bush did in the Guard.

Those that feel we must perpetually stay in Iraq to avoid paying the price later do not realize we are paying right now. (We certainly are.)

I am in Oklahoma, the heart of tornado ally. Recovery efforts are hampered because half of the Guard's retreival (sic) equipment is in Iraq. (This is a parroting of the Democratic Governor, sounds like Katrina doesn’t it? Blaming Bush for an F5 tornado that wipes out a small town of 1500 people to hide inept state government is an old trick. I guess since she is only the Governor she is NOT responsible for making sure her state, located in tornado alley, can deal with a tornado in a little town of 1500? God forbid she be prepared and not depend on FEDERAL funds and equipment. Remember the civilian in Iraq, Daniel Pearl who was beheaded by Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi (we killed Al- Zarkawi by the way in Iraq) his dad blamed Bush too as did Cindy Sheehan even though her son Casey volunteered and supported Bush. That’s a nice group of blame Bush folks there Hack.

We are paying now with 15 month combat tours. (Maybe if the liberal democrats like “Spring Break” Pelosi and “”We” lost the war” Reid would fund them we could actually shorten the troop rotations (which costs substantially more). Clinton's loathing of the American military led to his failure in his primary responsibility: the protection of the American people. His actions with regard to military preparedness speak for themselves. In less than three years, deployments increased while manpower decreased from 2.1 million to 1.6 million. I bet you wish you had those 500,000 troops now. Of the 305,000 employees removed from the federal payroll in just two years, 286,000 (or 90%) were military cuts. The statistics for America's defense during the Clinton years reveal the deep-seated animosity of the administration toward those who served in the military. The Army was cut from 18 divisions to 12. The Navy was reduced from 546 ships to 380. Air Force flight squadrons were cut from 76 to 50. (It would be nice to have some of those for Iraq now wouldn’t it?)

We are paying now with a spike in military suicide rates, bankruptcies, and divorces. The military pay freeze instituted by Clinton was imposed on a military in which 80 percent of all troops earned $30,000 per year or less. Food stamp applications soared and re-enlistment rates dropped. – Yep Divorce and Suicides were predicted and in full swing upward back in 1997-2001.

Our fight in Iraq is not keeping us safe here. (I’m sorry, did I miss another World Trade Center? Better yet – PROVE that statement.)

Excellent police work is keeping us safe here. (Amen- wire taps, Guantanamo Bay, and all of the Homeland Security work. All of which was started under the direction of Bush – despite complaints by democrats like Obama, Reid and Pelosi) The FBI, law enforcement, Dept of Homeland Security, and alert citizens are keeping us safe here (reference Fort Dix and the planned attack by YUGOSLAVIANS and Middle Easterners). The enemies of the US are much more widely spread than Iraq. (Yes they are; however, the terrorists you cite were indeed Muslim and were calling for jihad – why is that so hard for you Democrats to say? The terrorists were NOT from YUGOSLAVIA. Regardless, they were Muslim and called for the destruction of America under the blessing of Osama Bin Laden. Four of the arrested men were actually born in Albania, one was born in Jordan and one came from Turkey. Three were in the United States illegally; two had green cards allowing them to stay in this country permanently; and the sixth is a U.S. citizen.) “The six - Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, 22; Dritan "Anthony" or "Tony" Duka, 28; Shain Duka, 26; Eljvir "Elvis" Duka, 23; Serdar Tatar, 23; and Agron Abdullahu, 24—were ordered held without bail for a hearing Friday. Five were charged with conspiracy to kill U.S. military personnel; the sixth, Abdullahu, was charged with aiding and abetting illegal immigrants in obtaining weapons.”

I believe we are developing a false attribution to Iraq's fight for sovereignty and our safety. (I believe we are fighting and killing terrorists and helping to establish a democracy and an ally in the middle east where there was once a terror supporting dictator and an enemy of democracy, freedom, and America.)

For those among us that continue to focus ire on Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, please try to recall how they came to power. They were elected by a majority of Americans. (No, they were not elected by a majority of Americans. They were elected by a small majority of their local districts, (San Francisco and Nevada where Harry once tried to strangle a man) then appointed to committees by fellow liberal Democrats and then put in those positions of leadership due to a small (temporary) majority in the house and senate resulting by a very close mid-term election.) They were not elected because of the fantastic work of those whom they replaced. (No, indeed, they were appointed.)

… many Americans, who aren't unpatriotic hippies, just want a government that is honest and competent. (Like…say…. Clinton?)
I have truly never in my lifetime seen the ramifications of poor inteligence, (sic) or shaped intelligence, or cherry-picked intelligence rise to this level of international quagmire. Did this intelligence all come about under the six months that Bush was in office or was it inherited by Bush from the previous 8 years of the Clinton Administration? – Who appointed George Tenet – oh yea- Clinton did back in 1997.

I can't use any other term to describe the situation in which we can't walk away from and yet can't define success in. Again? We have to define success every day for you democrats don’t we? – HERE yet again is the White House Version:
• Short term, Iraq is making steady progress in fighting terrorists, meeting political milestones, building democratic institutions, and standing up security forces.
• Medium term, Iraq is in the lead defeating terrorists and providing its own security, with a fully constitutional government in place, and on its way to achieving its economic potential.
• Longer term, Iraq is peaceful, united, stable, and secure, well integrated into the international community, and a full partner in the global war on terrorism.

So as we forgive the administration for allowing failures at Walter Reed on their watch, (so if we swept it under the rug like Clinton did under his 8 years we would be better off? Maybe if we hadn’t cut Military funding like Clinton’s multi-billion dollar cuts spending did) and unfulfilled promises on Gulf Coast rebuilding (Chocolate City?) (Democrat Governor, Democrat Mayor, Democrat Senator) on their watch (Built under a Democratic President, ignored warnings (at least three) under the Clinton Administration ), and unprecedented cronyism on their watch, and the erasing of Presidential archives You mean like what Sandy ‘burglar’ Berger stole National Security documents by shoving them in his socks and underwear? and historical data on their watch, and the politicization of the Department of Justice on their watch, (you mean like Janet Reno and the Elian Gonzales hypocrisy?)

Do not be surprised on the turn out and results of future elections. (I won’t be- but you will I bet)
The vote is all we citizens have, and I imagine citizens will use their votes to elect those who represent their concerns. (Are you voting for the ‘Stand by my man’ turn ‘100 dollars into 100,000’, ‘Rose Law Firm’, ‘Dead Friends Walking’ Hyphenated Feminist, or are you voting for Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. the Muslim Lawyer (Hussein is a Muslim name, which comes from the name of Ali's son--Hussein Ibn Ali. And Obama is named after his late Kenyan father, the late Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., apparently a Muslim. And while Obama may not identify as a Muslim, that's not how the Arab and Muslim Streets see it. In Arab culture and under Islamic law, if your father is a Muslim, so are you. And once a Muslim, always a Muslim. You cannot go back. In Islamic eyes, Obama is certainly a Muslim. He may think he's a Christian, but they do not.)

If we vote to keep the current philosophy in Iraq (and foreign policy in general) in place (Like JeffCarter even agrees we should do?) ( you do mean building thousands of schools, liberating millions of people, building a police force and military and allowing millions to vote for the first time, stopping summary executions and killing hundreds of al-qaeda leaders?) ,

I will return here and admit how wrong my view of the national climate was. (See you soon!)

I suspect, however, that we will see a no confidence vote, and a rise in those who call themselves "Independents" because they can't stomach the term "Democrat." All of that said, from my heart I wish you all the best. (I wish you the best too!)

One thing is certain Hack:
While America has tried to help Iraq become an independent democracy in the middle east, freed 21 million people, held two elections and watched Iraq draw up a constitution, liberated millions of women and helped begin educating those women, the party that you support, the Democrats, has positioned themselves so that if things go well for America and for Iraq- they will lose local and National elections and lose congressional seats. I can’t be on that side of the political process. When Harry ‘the strangler’ Reid said “America lost in Iraq”, that was wishful thinking for the Democrats.

I am truly pulling away from this site, but I don't want to leave dangling participles on this thread, so I'll at least respond to this last batch of posts.
First things first: Personally, I have a great deal of respect and good will towards you, Enigma, Bamati, Enigma, Hutch, Git, Denise, Tug, RetiredArmy, Myword, SWBO, Bladder, TrentRivers, jeffC, Bad_PTC, and several other posters that I unfortunately have overlooked. The conversations we have here are not indicative of the conversations we would have in person. In person we would talk wives, kids, cars, bikes, boats (like kick butt Fountain tri-motor power boats with 70 knot + csapabilities), and how great it is to live in this country.
Politics is absolutely a necessary evil. I don't find much solice in any politicians, but I don't think we can use the blame Clinton card 6 years into our current leadership's term.
You covered alot of ground above, but I'll sum up the error in "blame the democrats before Bush" with this: Walter Reed was absolutely swept under the rug by the current powers that be. They were afraid of embarrasing their GOP President. The errors at Walter Reed were exposed by the New York Times. That "liberal rag" that gets beaten up regularly here, served our veterans better than the administration served our veterans. Leadership has to take the opportunity to lead; not blame past admins. not blame the media; but lead. I truly hope that the dems and Repubs get it together, for the sake of our bravest citizens. God Bless you Mixer. And thanks for the Back and forth,

And I will continue to call out the crime committed by minorities until the NAACP steps up to the plate and addresses the issue of the majority of crime committed by the minority of our citizens. They also still have not addressed the racist Mt. Olive Baptist Church "white face" incident. I know people who were personally offended and traumatized by this racist incident, and yet the NAACP remains silent on the issue. Their silence on minority crime and the racist parade bus must mean that they condone these actions.
