Arise and Know
According to an article I read this morning, our soldiers are being sent to Afghanistan with inadequate packs and weapons. They are purchasing their own packs from commercial stores (cabellas) with THEIR OWN MONEY because the ones given them have heavy plastic straps that cut off circulation to their arms. I find this totally unacceptable. With all the money that our country spends on defense, wouldn't you think that there would be enough in the budget for decent packs? What aggravates me even more is all the attention going towards the Health Care Bill while our soldiers are being neglected. The priorities of our government is mind boggling. Who is standing up for our military? I haven't heard of a single politician who has chosen to address this issue. Our military deserves the BEST. Also int the article are some more issues with weaponry and the camo coloring. What about all the BILLIONS of dollars left over from the stimulus package?...Which can also be called a slush fund. Lets put that to good use instead of using it for bribing politicians for votes for this outrageous Health Care Bill. Click on this post to read the article.

Arise and Know
More and more information is coming out on the Fort Hood killer Hasan. And it is getting worse. I am once again even more convinced that political correctness is burying America. Political correctness played a major role in last weeks massacre. Here are the facts...Hasan is a terrorist. Top officials knew. No one did anything. If it were my husband, brother, son, friend, among the 13 killed, there would be hell to pay. I have no ties to anyone killed or wounded, but I am livid. Why? Because this could have been prevented. I read this morning that one fellow soldier who worked with Hasan told higher-ups that Hasan was a "ticking time bomb." This man went on to say that he was shocked, but not surprised about Hasan's deadly rampage. The signs were there months and months ago.
In light of what has happened this past week, I have come to a realization...I cannot give top US officials (FBI, CIA, Homeland Security etc.) the benefit of the doubt any longer. It used to be that I would expect the PC non-sense from politicians and corporate America, but not from them. Not from the men and women whose job it is to protect and defend our nation! Before Fort Hood, I would have thought that even ONE SINGLE SIGN of a radical Muslim in our military would have been addressed IMMEDIATELY. Right? Was I alone in thinking that? It saddens me that I have lost faith in those whom I once believed put politics aside as they made critical decisions regarding the safety of America. Being politically correct was more important to them. And 13 people are dead because of it...because they enabled an Islamic extremist to STAY in the military.
