Tucker: Be Leaders And Win

obama_henryVIII

I’m not interested in… posing or pursuing some notion of American leadership, or America ‘winning,’ or whatever other slogans… that has no relationship to what is actually going to work to protect the American people and to protect people in the region who are getting killed… I’m too busy for that.”

— President Obama, in reaction to the ISIL-led Paris Attacks, Fox News

So I’m working this morning on items for the 5th and flip over to the RPV website, and feel a slap in the face from none other than my own US President.

Don’t think I didn’t  know, I watched him on TV when he first spoke those words, so I knew those words were out there for all posterity. This is what our President said in the face of our enemies after an attack on an ally.  

This morning seeing them in print struck me very hard; extremely hard. My youngest son is an active duty Marine and this is his Commander in Chief. For security reasons I won’t say his name or the name of my nephew who is also active duty. Or the names of my three other sons, no longer active duty Marines, two of whom are Veterans of the Iraq War.

A leader not wanting to lead. A leader not wanting to win.

I would call Obama wimp, but that term is wrong. Obama is dangerous and derelict in the his duty to the American people.  If American boots are ordered to hit the sand in a ground offensive, what will their orders be? “Officers, don’t lead your men.  Men, try not to win.”  

Horror. Anger. There plenty of parents out there that can imagine both feelings if the call came in, “Mama, I’m going to the sandbox.”

To think my youngest may go back to fight for what his brothers already fought for, for what Taylor and James died for in Iraq and for what Schaffer died for here because of the pain he brought home.  Obama gave it away.  Movies like to show most Soldiers or Marines as mostly more mature 30 year olds. They aren’t you know. Obama would be sending a lot of 19 and 20 years olds into battle with what orders?

Oh Barbara Null, we will have our work cut out for us should this come to pass. Those men will go with our voices in their heads, “Be Leaders and Win!”
