Here’s an informed ‘take’ on the situation from MoH recipient Gen Brady.
BENGHAZI-GATE
A HELPLESS MILITARY: JUST WHAT OBAMA ORDERED
Exclusive: Gen. Patrick Brady's outrage over armed forces' 'feminization, emasculation'
Published: 6 days ago
As
incompetence, deception, duplicity and dishonesty become the hall marks
of the Obama administration, it is important that we not lose sight of
the greatest danger posed beyond these serial scandals: the
feminization, emasculation and dismantling of our military. The two most
important elements of national survival are the media and the military;
one keeps us free and the other keeps us secure. We know the media are
failing – God help us if the military does also. We may be able to fix
the government in 2014. Fixing the military is more problematic.
Let’s
begin with Benghazi. It is incomprehensible that any commander, let
alone the commander in chief, would go AWOL during a crisis such as
Benghazi, but he was. In the midst of the massacre of our ambassador and
three heroic Americans, President Obama was nowhere to be found. He did
manage to surface, too late for the massacre, to meet a campaign
commitment the next day. But, before retiring, we are told he turned the
crisis over to his underlings, including the military. What we learned
about our military leadership during that crisis should alarm all
Americans.
The
demise of our military of course begins with the commander in chief,
but he can’t do it alone. He has to have willing sycophants and he has
had them in the civilian and military leadership at the Department of
Defense. The indifference of the people and military inexperience in
Congress are contributing factors. The military disasters are a form of
gradualism. Look at the changes under Mr. Obama. We cannot focus on
these changes enough.
Our
military is suffering unprecedented rates of suicide and PTSD. Obama’s
sequestration will cut benefits to veterans as well as damage readiness.
(There has been a 2000 percent increase in backlog for veteran
assistance in four years!) We now have a quad-sexual military with all
the health, readiness and moral issues that come with exalting sodomy.
Sexual assault is at an all-time high. Women will be tasked to lead
bayonet charges. As a result of the sex scandals, Congress is now
looking to curtail the military’s ability to discipline, another tribute
to the lack of leadership in the military and lack of military
understanding in Congress.
Billions
of defense dollars are unaccounted for. Christianity is under military
attack, and Bibles have been burned to appease Muslims. (References to
God and Jesus are forbidden at Arlington, chaplains will be forced to
perform homosexual “marriages,” and Bibles and religious item are
forbidden to the wounded at Walter Reed, etc.)
We
have a new doctrine for crisis: “Don’t deploy forces into harm’s way
without knowing what’s going on.” Therefore, no Normandy or Inchon. In
other words, don’t go until the crisis/massacre is over. Their default
position is don’t go, period. The military leadership, after the
terrorist massacre at Fort Hood, outrageously lamented the effect it
would have on diversity – and equally outrageously labeled it workplace
violence denying the victims and their families the benefits they
deserve.
There
have been unprecedented security leaks, and China is electronically in
bed with us. They even lost the graves of our warriors at Arlington. I
could go on, but it should be clear that all of the above is the result
of a leader who knows not the difference between a corps and a corpse
and is both indifferent to and unknowledgeable of military readiness.
And as bad, the military leadership is complicit in these disasters. (As
a further tribute to their ineptitude, they have actually considered
combat-level medals for warriors not shooting and desk-bound computer
operators, medals that were the laughingstock of veterans.)
But
given that the president tasked the military to act in the Benghazi
crisis, what did they do? Indefensibly, they did nothing, they did not
even try! No obstacle, no doctrine, nothing can defend not trying, never
mind the risk, to save fellow Americans. Were they under orders to sit
on their a– and let their fellow Americans die? In my 34 years of
military service involving many crises, I never knew of one without an
after action report (AAR), in which each and every action was put under a
microscope to identify those responsible for the results be they good
or bad. Congress, the media, someone should demand the AAR on Benghazi.
It must exist. Who ordered the stand down? Who said sit on your a–? Why
no hearing on this?
Just
as the way forward for America is a return to the morality and values
of the past, so too must the military return to the readiness standards
and common sense of the past. We can survive in a relatively valueless
society – but only with a strong and ready military. Sadly the military
is mirroring society – the goal of Mr. Obama and progressives – and will
soon be impotent. Once the progressives have a helpless military they
no longer need to explain why they didn’t go; they can say we are unable
to go. Progress is not the path we are on; true progress is the path to
our past. The other scandals may be more glamorous and outrageous (such
as lying about Benghazi before the coffins of those massacred by
terrorists, enemies’ lists and assaults on the First Amendment) but what
Mr. Obama is doing to our military is more grave.
