June 6th is a clear day of pride for the American military. Today, you\u2019ll read many articles (rightly so) recalling the heroism of allied forces as they pushed into Europe on June 6, 1944.<\/p>\n
Seems like a good time for our nation\u2019s leaders to demonstrate their resolve in supporting American men and women who are today fighting an enemy equally as evil. That\u2019s what you would expect.<\/p>\n
So, the country is engaged in fighting a ruthless enemy in multiple theaters; a burden that incidentally is being carried in a large part by the Special Operations community and what do Democrats in congress do for the war effort<\/a>?<\/p>\n The first hold on two key military promotions was imposed by a Democrat last month. It blocked, among others, the promotion of Army Lt. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal to be the director of the Joint Staff once the Senate confirms his fourth star. Gen. McChrystal will depart as commander of the Joint Special Operations Command, which is on the front line of the war on terrorism. <\/p>\n Also on hold is Navy Rear Adm. William H. McRaven, head of Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR), who is slated to replace Gen. McChrystal. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n IMHO leaving the helm of the Joint Special Operations Command unmanned, in a time of war, for pure political posturing in nothing short of treason! If this isn\u2019t providing aid to the enemy, what the hell is it!?<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know Admiral McRaven but I have known Stan McChrystal for many years and I can assure you having him as director of the Joint Staff will only make this country stronger. <\/p>\n More \u201cChange\u201d I suppose.<\/p>\n Pathetic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
