From around the world, you will find our soldiers buried who fought to keep the world free from tyranny. Everyone knows of someone who has fought for our country, for me it was my Great Uncle “Scoop”. As a medic he landed on the beaches of Normandy, and later served in a M*A*S*H* during Korea, and retired in 1968, all under an assumed name.
You see, before World War II started, he tried to re-enlist, but was told he was too old. He “borrowed” my younger great uncle’s birth certificate. Everyone has a story like this, remember them this day.
This goes with what I mentioned yesterday about a recent statement coming out of the Homeland Security office.
While the President minces words with other members of the UN Security Counsel, and they to draft a stern response that will not tick off China over North Korea’s missile launch, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced new spending cuts.
The UN will not do anything to slap down North Korea. President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will make big speaches, but nothing will happen. And while our tax money is wasted bribing the North Koreans not to do it again for the fourth or fifth time, the one thing that actually can work is cut from the budget.
Missile Defense. No new units, no laser tech to destroy the missiles on the launch pads…nothing. Thank goodness Israel knows how to take care of the Iranians.
