US Military Suffers Under Obama
Imagine being ordered into combat with no clear objective…

Volunteer soldiers fight our enemies around the world, suffering injury and death to protect us, and to defend liberty. In the last seven years they have done their duty under the command of a president hostile to their mission. They have watched him cull the best commanders, cut funding, cut compensation, cut benefits, neglect VA reforms, and give aid and comfort to our enemies, acts of treason.
Volunteer soldiers have fought and died for a citizenry that largely ignores them. And if they come home suffering terrible wounds—-physical and psychological—–they continue being ignored, even by the government that promised them support and healthcare. Worse, they are mistreated.
The VA scandal is an ongoing disgrace. Verified reports show veterans so neglected, they die in substantial numbers, waiting to see a doctor, treatment withheld. The president and others promised to solve the problem. That promise joins a long list of other promises broken.
In 2012, 6,500 former military personnel committed suicide. In 2012, 177 active duty individuals killed themselves, more than died in combat. It is conservatively estimated 22 vets commit suicide every day, about 8,000 per year. In the face of all this tragedy, the president is silent, inactive, apparently unconcerned.
When Marines were gunned down in Tennessee recently, this president was insincere in his expressions of sympathy. When Americans are beheaded, he heads for the links. When Americans were murdered in Benghazi, his priority was a fundraiser in Vegas followed by a criminal cover up.
