It was republished from the Atlantic, so it is a bit biased (in my opinion).
The thing that really is pissing me off in this whole scenario is that the death of four U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers is being used as political capital. We cannot be the beacon of anything if we are going to exploit the grief of families who lost loved ones in combat for political gain. This is one of those arguments that even if you are in the right, you are in the wrong.

I agree, Steven. This never would have happened if the climate in America today was not so infused with the influences of politics, political correctness, and a perverse desire by liberals to twist and distort everything that does not fit into their vision of America. Add to that, the defensiveness of the DoD, a sub-culture inside the Pentagon to hide the truth at all cost. Soldiers and sailors have always been pawns in someone's political struggle for power. Enter Wilson.

SCPO (Join to see) It is not just the liberals. It is both parties. They are both puppets with the hands of corporate America pulling the strings. Political correctness is absolutely destroying this nation. Don't have a differing opinion, it might offend someone, and that is bad, therefore don't do it. What a bunch of bullshit. You mad a comment about liberals. I respect your opinion, but I disagree that it is just liberals. We can discuss this because we are capable of disagreeing without it being seen as a personal attack. Society in general looks at disagreement as a personal attack, and again must be banned. How are we going to have an honest debate among people on the spectrum from just left of Liberace to just right of Attila the Hun and everywhere in between if we are worried about people having their feelings hurt in a disagreement. It's enough to make the Pope kick a kitten.

PO3 Steven Sherrill - You are dead right about both parties. I just had a particular thought in my mind at the time. I am disillusioned, disappointed, and disgusted with both parties, and just about everything and everyone in between. But there ain't enough time or blank space on this post to get into what everything and everyone includes!!! Good post, though.
