For all of us that served during the last ten or so years, it would be Thursdays. Thursdays are the most dangerous thing in the military. Second would be motorcycles.

Ok, I've been out since '88. What's so dangerous about Thursdays?

Without being political... let's examine this assertion, shall we?

The Drunken Fratboy (W): Failed to respond to "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US"-type memos. Allowed 9/11 to happen without resistance. Read "My Pet Goat" for over 5 minutes after being informed of the 2nd attack. Started two wars in which thousands of Americans lost their lives, tens of thousands more became permanently disabled, and hundreds of thousands of "the enemy", including many innocent women, children and male civilians were killed. Had no exit plan from either war. Bankrupted America. Failed to follow through with his promise to get Bin Laden "dead or alive". Failed America, allowing New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf coast to suffer without assistance, while telling America that his inexperienced staff were doing a "heckuva job". <Enter thousands of other failures here>.

The current CiC: Brought an end one war... Iraq; a war that America should have never started, but which was started based on lies... in order to line the pockets of the former VP's buddies at Halliburton and elsewhere. Can you say "war profiteering"? I knew that you could. Bringing an end to the second Bush misadventure in Afghanistan. Got Bin Laden. Rescued the American auto industry and stabilized the financial sector after the Bush-led depression. Didn't start unnecessary wars, killing and injuring thousands of Americans. Didn't place Americans at additional risk with statements like "bring 'em on". Didn't place Americans at further risk by violating US and international law to torture "the enemy", which in some cases means innocent cab drivers that happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and were pointed out by others so that they could claim US-paid bounties for turning in subjective radicals.

Perhaps you meant the PREVIOUS Commander-in-Chief... or your politics have made you delusional. Me? I don't support fascists, which is why I left the GOP. Obama has done a stellar job, considering that the party of fascism (GOP) adopted the "oppose everything at all costs" philosophy from the day Obama won the election.

The most dangerous thing(s) (besides W, the former CiC) in the US military would be a tie:
1. The flight deck on an aircraft carrier
2. Internal Command Politics

I think you should check your facts on most of your post. Please detail the lies on which the war was started, and also check response time of the government during Katrina. The governors have to ask for assistance in a disaster. It took days for the La Gov to ask for help.

As far as the current CIC, I don't think he has done a good job at all. When elected, he was in a position to do great things for this country, but instead, he brought back racism with a passion. When you appoint an AG who will not prosecute a hate crime if the subject is black, and who has defended terrorists in court, the majority of Americans will be pissed. Bailing out the auto industry with my tax dollars? We lost money on that deal, just like all of the green energy companies the government gave our money to.

This isn't about parties, to many elected officials are there to pad theit own pockets, and not do what is best for our country.

Nothing personal, just my opinion.

Here's my 2 cents.... Obama says "Our Men and Women in uniform FIRST". Yet he has BACKLOGGED over 820,000 military requests for disabled entitlements while trying to RAMROD illegal aliens to be citizens ( which will get more help than our injured service personnel STILL waiting to get benefits!) I'm madder than hell and won't..... TTC

 

[TerryC]

Incidentally, we have been at open war with the Jihadists since '73... and still don't take them serious enough! TTC
