The Mayor of Ferguson, Missouri is warning his constituents
to “prepare for the worst” ahead of the impending release of the grand jury
report into the death of Michael Brown. That State’s National Guard is on high
alert.
Late Friday afternoon, a column of 32 Russian tanks,
16 howitzers, supply trucks and troops were spotted pouring across the Ukrainian
border.
Also late Friday afternoon, President Obama made the
decision to send 1,500 additional troops into Iraq, a doubling of our presence there
dedicated to our war with ISIS. You remember the ISIS war, right?
Decorated Navy Seal, Rob O’Neill has abandoned the
ethos of that famously private fighting fraternity by going public with the account
of his exploits in killing Bin Laden. This “cashing in” and shameless
self-promotion has resulted in the Seal community turning their backs on one of
their most decorated alumni.
It’s not a good weekend to be in the military.
Actually, it’s probably never a good weekend to be in
the military. God knows what the idiot politicians are going to ask them to do
next. Imagine how the poor soldiers stuck in Liberia feel. I’m pretty sure that
trying to prevent a health pandemic from breaking out…in another country… wasn’t what they had in mind when they signed
up with Uncle Sam. But hey, this is the 21st century, and soldiers must now
multi-task.
Here’s my prayer for
them today…May we produce civilian leaders who are worthy to lead such
honorable men and women.
