Mayday on the Front Line


Image result for picture of armed civilian guarding military base

This picture serves as a “Double Edge Sword” because on one hand it cuts through the callousness of the heart; showing that when push comes to shove, regardless of race, Americans will protect each other. On the other hand, this picture shreds through the notion that our government gives a damn about our troops. When we have civilians standing guard for our troops because they are not allowed to carry firearms, it’s a sad day for America. The same soldiers who carried a M16 A-2 service rifle for the good of mankind; cannot carry a firearm for their own survival, how does that work?

To add injure to insult, the Department of Defense cowardly demands recruiting centers not only to stay unarmed, and unguarded but also not to wear their uniforms! If not wearing a uniform will de-escalate the attacks on our military, why didn’t that strategy work for the Iraq army, which had uniforms of sweat pants and flip flops? People have asked me what I thought about Donald Trump’s comments regarding John McCain being a hero and my answer was, “Donald’s comments were just as absurd as the Department of Defense telling our valiant soldiers to not wear their uniforms.” Last time I checked, Americans don’t tuck their tails and run. We didn’t become a great nation by allowing foreign or domestic threats to alter, dictate or intimidate our culture; much less, diminish our resolve.


What the Department of Defense and Commander-in -Chief have failed to realize is that Americans have a limit! We can only be pushed back so far with your politically correct campaigns, your water downed version of war, with a hostile enemy on American soil. If the statement, “Where there is a will, there is a way” is correct, you will find that the will of the American People has always risen to epic proportions when as a nation, our backs our pushed against the wall; if you don’t believe me, keep pushing.
