Stop killing our;

I am a viet nam era veteran and I pray and hope that much of what is happening in the political world today in Washington does not reach our troops. How could we possibly expect our troops which consist of MOMS, DADS, CHILDREN, BROTHERS, SISTERS, AUNTS, UNCLES & FREINDS to sacrifice their lives when our own President has never even stepped on the war arena and meet with his top General? Now he can't even make a decision when told we will loose this war without more troops on the ground. Of course that 25 minute meeting was arranged after much criticism on the sound board of the American people. Hooray, One for us.

This appears very much like Viet Nam all over again. I was not very happy then nor am I very happy now. Obama must be totally incompetent not to understand the advice of his top General on the ground. The Vice-President has a completely different view of the matter, but then I question his military education. Also his past performance doesn't give me reason to believe he can properly communicate his ideas to begin with.

So now everyday we wait for decission making, our troops are at a disadvantage, which can only result in more un-necessary death as heard of this very weekend. We lost eight (8) more of our troops in one raid. Who's Dad, whose Brother?

America stand up, flood the goverment computers, phones, contact your congressman and senators via e-mail, letters, phone calls and any venue available to you.

I am quite sure that the majority of the American people would rather resolve Afghanistan and Iran than health care. What about the health care of our troops? I believe this is more important and should be resolved first. 

I am reminded of viet nam all over again, let's not have history repeat itself.
