LOL...Great stuff!

As a recently retired US Army Infantry Disabled 20 Year Veteran...I find Mendenhall's tweets both offensive and dillusional. His words reflect his belief that 9.11 was "An inside Job" that was not the result of Radical Islamic extremists. I believe Mr. Mendenhal has been hit in the head one too many times....and he should keep his insane ideas to himself. He's a Nobody.

this is just part of NATO's folly
"from late 2001 up to now, there have been NUMEROUS incidents of civilians killed in military operations against Taliban and Al-Qaida fighters, although U.S.-led coalition and NATO forces SAY they go to extreme lengths to avoid civilian casualties. The international troops ACCUSE insurgents of blending in with local populations while ATTACKING foreign and Afghan soldiers...AS USUAL: These US Military Haters added "unconfirmed by independent sources."[89]
MY REPLY...AS A RECENTLY RETIRED USA INFANTRY FIRST SERGEANT, .AND NOW 100% VA PERMANENTLY DISABLED:

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill
English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)

"I won't risk your lives unless it is absolutely necessary," Obama told service men and women.

This Comment is so Insulting, I can barely type.

What are my Brothers doing right now in Afghanistan and Iraq?

What's NECESSARY to this Soldier is the needed Attention to American Joblessness and the Joint Fight Against World Terrorism.

....and Not Campaigning in VA and NJ. Not Taking Saturday Golf outings. Not Fundraising 28 times. Not watching/calling on-air shows like "Morning Joe" to ensure they do not say anything offensive. Not Attacking the Media's Free Speech.

And...Not uttering the insulting above quote while families and loved-ones of US SOLDIERS are dying in AFGHANISTAN.

BILLY...GREAT THOUGHTS!
