The Suicide of America !

The Suicide of America!

Well, I see from the news reports that our “testosterone challenged” leaders do not have the cajones to stay the course in Iraq. They are talking of a “pull-out” next year, which is about 47 years too soon. Anyone who has paid attention to this “war” knows this is way too soon to even contemplate a pullout. Call it what it is: A Retreat”!

And they wonder why recruitment is down? For God’s sake, don’t they understand that to pull our troops out of Iraq, and the Middles East, without victory, is a slap in the face to every wounded veteran, to every family, which lost a loved one in combat in Iraq, and a slap in the face to America herself. The world will see our military as slinking away, once again, with its tail between it’s legs.

This is a pathetic picture of a Super Power. A super power afraid of it’s own power. America has become a superpower, which does not deserve the title, (and apparently doesn’t want it).

What has happened to the American people? Has all the liberal teaching in our Public (read “Government”) Schools finally taken hold? Do Americans truly feel a sufficient amount of guilt for all the mis-happenings in the world that those in our own country, and yes, in our own government, have heaped upon us in an attempt to weigh us down… and finally, to cause a total collapse of the America we used to know.
It gives me immeasurable pain to admit that I no longer know this America. This is not the America I grew up in. This is not the America my family bled and died for. This is not the America whose history I studied in school and grew to love… even with its shortcomings. This is not the America I felt an obligation to serve as a soldier.

This is the America whose military was the best in the world, and knew it, right up until their leaders sold them out in Viet Nam.

This is the America whose President pulled our handful of troops out of Somalia after a number of our elite troops were slaughtered as a result of the US leadership not giving them the supplies and material they needed, and had asked for, to keep that very thing from happening.

This is the America, which presented such an example of “retreat under fire” that it emboldened Bin Laudin to say, “The Americans will run if you make them bleed”.

This is the America whose press is so anti-American, and anti-Military that they crow, aloud, when America suffers a defeat and especially when American soldiers lose their lives in combat.

This is an America whose government has adopted so much of the Socialist platform that it is now difficult to call us a capitalist nation anymore.

This is the America, which has chosen security over freedom.

This is an America preparing itself for the chains of defeat and socialism.

This is an America, which can no longer go to the Moon.

This is an America, which can’t even mount an old space truck onto a couple of gigantic rockets and send it into orbit without pieces of it falling off!

This is an America, which is just a shell of its former self… a shadow, a memory of its former greatness.

This is an America whose students can’t read and write but… they feel better about themselves than any students anywhere in the world. It’s called blind arrogance.

And this is an America whose military is about to be sold out, again… this time in Iraq. And they wonder why kids are not flocking to join? Don’t make me laugh!

Whatever happened to the America of yesteryear? The country we are today does not deserve to be called America. We can’t hold a candle to what we used to be. We were a “Can Do” nation. Now, we are an “Afraid to Try” nation!

We are pathetic! No wonder we are despised! We have earned it! We are despicable.

And the worse thing of all…I see no help for America in the immediate future.

We have become a nation of wimps! My God, people, we lose 1700 men in nearly three years of combat, in Iraq, and we’re screaming, “bring the troops home”! At Cold Harbor, in Virginia, during the Civil War, we lost 7,000 men in 20 minutes!

I can’t grasp this kind of thinking. We have far more deaths, a month, from shooting accidents, in the US, than we have had on the battlefields of Iraq in three years! Does this make any sense to you at all? ‘Cause it doesn’t to me!

I fear what we are watching, what we are a part of, is the “death throes” of the greatest nation to ever grace the planet!

And, worst of all… its suicide!
