Allen West on the Marines Incident: ‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
“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?…’
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

And THIS is why we need more military types – especially those who have seen action – in U.S. politics.
One thing I really admire about the Israeli parliament is that most politicians have actually fought for their country – and are more grounded because of that experience.
On that note, can anyone imagine Zero, or any of the other limp-wristed Islam-appeasing liberals in Washington for that matter actually being prepared to defend their country? I can’t.
The glib sarcastic bastard in me would counter this comment with just two words: John McCain.
The longer answer is there are liberals in the military just as in civilian life … It just appears there are fewer of them.
Me neither.
Actually the political elite hate the military – they do everything they can to undermine it, especially the macho bits which they absolutely loath.
See Obama is actually going to reduce the infantry and replace it with drones – he thinks
The classic mistake of anti-military dickheads. There is no substitute for boots on the ground. All the rest is a huge help, but it still comes down to the grunts.
They loathe the macho bits because it reminds them of what they’d sooner ignore–the fact that they lack both the integrity and the manhood necessary to do the job.
Sheep hate the sheepdogs, KG.
Because they are too visible of a reminder they are sheep.
Talking of Obama – did you see this part of the West quote from the article above:
“… and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.”
Heh
A lovely dig…
how great minds think-posted the same : – )
I am sick and tired of our BEST being second guessed by whimpy arm chair pundits…

And it’s always the Dammed Demorats who want to exclude the military vote come election time
Good Stuff Alan West
I remember when he stood for congress the Democrats tried to tie him to the OUTLAWS MC LOL.
He’s one of the very few people I admire unreservedly, Grappler.
Yes and the funny thing was the outlaws are a racist whites only group, and the democrats feared west so much they tried to tie him to this group.
Dems are stupid..but cunning and dangerous nonetheless…
OK so that comment was good but f you Allen West for voting for the Patriot Act and the NDAA. He did vote no on the 3rd vote for the Patriot Act only because he knew it would pass and he could vote no and it would still pass…
Nobody is the perfect representative of everybody, and I’m damn sure there are behind-the-scenes pressures we know nothing about.
So far, West looks a damn sight better than those running for the Repub nomination.
Amen to that Wabbit, the Repubs are damn useless at the moment, embarassing to watch the line up on offer.
It’s so bad, Medusa, you have to wonder if it’s deliberate…..
I never have been in a war and I hope I never have to be in a war, so for me it is impossible to understand or criticise these soldiers. Maybe I would do the same in their situation, I don’t know. But as a human being I can’t approve what they are doing to another human being . These people are defending what they believe is right, defending their homeland. I don’t think this is the way to get them on our side to make them see the things like we see them. It only makes them fight harder, to hate us more, to kill more of our men, and it only makes us forget the enemy we have at
home an enemy far more dangerous for our freedom .

How the NDAA bill attempts to legalize tyranny.
As an aside, there is that dark gallows humour amongst medical and emergency workers that would have to leftie shrills howling if they ever experienced it.
But they don’t mix with folk that do the dirty work in society…
I wish Allen West would run for President.
