With things the way they are in the world, countries first hating us then begging us for our help when things get tough for them I think it would be in our best interest to elect a military man for President. Anyone less and they'll go the diplomacy route right down the path of destruction for us. Conversation with a liberal just the other day regarding the non vote of surveillance laws by the House. "So you feel safer now that we can't surveil terrorists?" "Yes, I do." "Great, then you're okay with hundreds, maybe thousands of Americans killed in another terrorist attack?" Silence. Complete blank stare. Yup, those non military types sure do like to TALK. :-w I agree Robert.

Translation: He's not ready for primetime, especially in wartime. And HilLiary loathes the Military. So there's nothing on the Democrite side that can do that job.

It says that the unit was staffed, and there may have been spot shortages, but these guys were not out scrounging enemy ammo and guns. It negates what Obama said! Had Obmama talked to the proper people that he has access to, he could have found this out. No, what it said was Obama should have done his homework.

Gen. George Casey, the Army’s chief of staff, said Tuesday he has no reason to doubt Barack Obama’s recent account by an Army captain that a rifle platoon in Afghanistan didn’t have enough soldiers or weapons.

But he questioned the assertion that the shortages prevented the troops from doing their job.

Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Casey said the incident would have occurred in 2003 and 2004 following the Iraq invasion. He said he remembers it as a “difficult time” trying to rush armor and other equipment to the troops.

“I have no reason to doubt what it is the captain said,” Casey said. “This was 2003 and 2004, almost four and a half years ago. We acknowledge and all worked together to correct the deficiencies that we saw in that period, not only in Afghanistan but in Iraq. It was a period that we worked our way through.”

Casey said the Army has purposefully not tried to seek out the captain individually. But he did contact the platoon’s brigade commander, which belonged to the 10th Mountain Division, and reviewed the division’s readiness reports.

Casey said the brigade was manned at 100 percent during its entire deployment, but that it is possible a particular platoon within the brigade was not manned at the desired level.

“There may have been some spot shortages in spare parts and ammunition,” he said. “But the commander said that there were never a shortage of ammunition that impacted the units ability to accomplish its mission.”
