This remarkable man doesn’t need the salary he earns as a member of the best presidential cabinet ever assembled in American history. He could be enjoying retirement in luxury and privacy, yet he serves his country. He sure doesn’t need the grief he gets from the pointy heads of the media, or the jealous back stabbers in the military. Yes, I know it was only a handful (6 or 7) out of some 6,000 Generals of the USofA’s Armed Forces that took the media’s bait, and called for this American hero’s ouster, but that is still shameful behavior by retired Generals.

WEBLOAFER AND SANITY’S BLUFF,
SALUTE YOU SIR: AND THANK YOU.

We don’t often think of saluting civilians, but this is a remarkable man, and the venom he must endure, is more than most of us could take.
THANK YOU.

AND JUST TO FURTHER ANNOY ANY ‘PROGRESSIVE’ VISITING THIS BLOG, HERE ARE SOME MORE PICTURES YOU’LL SEE ONLY ON THE INTERNET.
My favorites are pictures of the Iraqi children, adoring our brave men and women. Don’t kid yourself, this is pure unadulterated love you see on the faces of these children. You don’t have to stage photos like these, you just have to take them.
