An American Soldier's Point Of View.........

This was sent to me and I have deleted the names for the soldier's safety and peace of mind. He doesn't need any of B. Hussein Obama's "surrogates" coming after him after all, he has enough on his plate providing freedom for the arrogant ass that wants to be president.............

First report from Afghanistan

I don't know each of your personal political convictions, and apologize
if anyone finds this offensive. I thought it was important
enough to share. This is (......) first hand view of Senator Obama.
(.......)

Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted
to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for
about an hour on his visit to 'The War Zone'. I wanted to share with
you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof
vehicle,
got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the
commander here at Bagram.

As the Soldiers were lined up to shake his hand he blew
them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room
to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the
ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play
basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity
pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to
Soldiers to thank them for their service.

So really he was just here to make a showing for the
American's back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that
if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you
would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are
providing for you.

I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players
or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators,
who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don't
understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was
almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom
for him and our great country.

If this is blunt and to the point I am
sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he
really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

In service,

American Soldier

As this soldier so accurately stated ..."What you see in the news is all fake."

But then Obama has stated that he wants to shred our military...so is it surprising that he despises our military personnel? B. Hussein Obama is nothing more than Cindy Sheehan in drag...............

UPDATE...........
I just merrily swiped this from Stop The ACLU.. and it is a must read...especially following this soldier's letter............

From Senator John McCain

Senator Obama and I also faced a decision, which amounted to a real-time test for a future commander-in-chief. America passed that test. I believe my judgment passed that test. And I believe Senator Obama’s failed.
We both knew the politically safe choice was to support some form of retreat. All the polls said the “surge” was unpopular. Many pundits, experts and policymakers opposed it and advocated withdrawing our troops and accepting the consequences. I chose to support the new counterinsurgency strategy backed by additional troops — which I had advocated since 2003, after my first trip to Iraq. Many observers said my position would end my hopes of becoming president. I said I would rather lose a campaign than see America lose a war. My choice was not smart politics. It didn’t test well in focus groups. It ignored all the polls. It also didn’t matter. The country I love had one final chance to succeed in Iraq. The new strategy was it. So I supported it. Today, the effects of the new strategy are obvious. The surge has succeeded, and we are, at long last, finally winning this war.

Senator Obama made a different choice. He not only opposed the new strategy, but actually tried to prevent us from implementing it. He didn’t just advocate defeat, he tried to legislate it. When his efforts failed, he continued to predict the failure of our troops. As our soldiers and Marines prepared to move into Baghdad neighborhoods and Anbari villages, Senator Obama predicted that their efforts would make the sectarian violence in Iraq worse, not better.

And as our troops took the fight to the enemy, Senator Obama tried to cut off funding for them. He was one of only 14 senators to vote against the emergency funding in May 2007 that supported our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. …

Three weeks after Senator Obama voted to deny funding for our troops in the field, General Ray Odierno launched the first major combat operations of the surge. Senator Obama declared defeat one month later: “My assessment is that the surge has not worked and we will not see a different report eight weeks from now.” His assessment was popular at the time. But it couldn’t have been more wrong.

More…

Senator Obama told the American people what he thought you wanted to hear. I told you the truth.

Fortunately, Senator Obama failed, not our military. We rejected the audacity of hopelessness, and we were right. Violence in Iraq fell to such low levels for such a long time that Senator Obama, detecting the success he never believed possible, falsely claimed that he had always predicted it. … In Iraq, we are no longer on the doorstep of defeat, but on the road to victory.

Senator Obama said this week that even knowing what he knows today that he still would have opposed the surge. In retrospect, given the opportunity to choose between failure and success, he chooses failure. I cannot conceive of a Commander in Chief making that choice.
