Well said !!!!I was beginning to think that my Wife and I were the only ones that were not afraid to speak up.

I have a day burned into my mind that so many other families have had, and that is to see one of your own family members sent home in flag draped box. It was on my mind the whole time I served and the rest of my family also.

It does make me wonder though, when I drive through my subdivision and there are only two (2) American Flags in sixty two homes…what has happened in this Country.

I am grateful for every one of our folks in the Military and shake every one of their hands at the airport in Atlanta when I travel.

A Tiger does not pay attention to a Flea, until the flea becomes an irritation. Then the Tiger removes the irritation. I say North Korea, unlike the people of Iran, are as one Flea. We have spent almost Fifty years being irritated by all these different threats. Do we wait for one of them to strike? Why?

We have never really waited before. Check our History of this Great Nation before questioning this last Statement.

I, for one was raised with World Threats, always by someone, somewhere. Let us just get it on! Stop all this foolish, school yard, bickering and either fight, or walk away. One or the other, but enough of this arguing!

In the meantime, next year replace all the people we can in DC. Two years latterreplace all those we can, including a gutless wonder of a President, who invents money out of air, and wishes to rule the World. P.S. Keep the good people, you'll know who the areby the Social Programs and Taxes they did not vote for!

GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!

Well said. You have described the results of the infiltration of the Franfurt School into academia post Worl War II. The result is the birth of political correctness and the beginning of the end of our culture. I have no doubt our President has been greatly influenced by subscribers to this school and is guided by their ideology.

A footnote: tenure was developed to protect university professors from religious persecution many centuries ago. At the time it helped advance science. Today tenure is job security assuring the professor cannot be fired – at least easily. The first step in the transforamtion of academia is to get rid of tenure. There has to be acountablity at all levels.

Either strong or weak they all bear the fruit of the methodology used. Results vary. History proves that.

No war is once and for all. Participation on this planet and this united states maintaining its advantages is soon losing its value due to many variables, many of which stem from our own college ranks and systems teaching fantasy 101 instead of reality world at war!

We are engaged in survival of our way and it has brought more world change and advancement in a shared combat with friend and foe alike but we never gave up. It is the giving up and relinquishing to foreign powers, opinion and ways of government that frighten me. We have become a weakened society by the purposeful attacks of our own colleges and politicians. We have become their play things so they can feel superior with the proof.

Americans have got to stop accepting the language of defeatism that politicians perpetuate and that some professors seed with their personal disdain for the uncleanliness of victory. We are a great nation despite of them. We are a great people with or with out them.

Sadly we must endure their ignorance and arrogance every time they lower their expectations and become that in which we despise….capitulation experts.

There is difference between a man who knows he must get his hands dirty to succeed and one that avoids getting his hands dirty to succeed and it is revealed in how they use others or themselves to gain success.

We are governed in most part by the ones who have never toiled at their own expense or defended with their own blood, but are all too willing to freely give away what was paid for by others with dirt between the fingers and blood upon the soil.

This is what the Left does. Just as we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan, they are all gung-ho in the begining but as soon as the bodies start piling up, the Left gets cold feet and we are left with a mess like North Korea to bite us in the butt later on.
