Does anyone recall the story about how General Smedley Butler was recruited to overthrow FDR and the Workers Party of America, whom built the mass of our roads and bridges? Do you recall what happened to that “coups” attempt?

“What is your strategy for achieving total and final victory in the War on Terror?’

They must be kidding. There is currently no forseeable end to America’s export of terror and, likewise, no forseeable end to our import of terror or the so-called “War on Terror”.

Does anybody see an end to the other “War”; the “War on Drugs”?

I think you have been misled as to why soldiers are dying. It has nothing to do with making sure anyone (yourself included) can make asinine statements.

He may be overly pessimistic, but his track record for being right is better than most. The conservatives are now muttering about a military coup to "solve" the "Obama problem".

It does appear that this press release from CWV is sort of whispering that the concept of St. Augustine’s ‘Just War” is coming under scrutiny, but not for the soldier but for the lack of reciprocity from the Commander in Chief and the American people.
The day of Rosie the Riveter has assuredly passed, yet who is asked to do a thing for a war effort anymore.? The notion of American people sacrificing anything is humorous. We just sacrifice our children.
Note, I am not expressing favor or dis-favor for this war, that for the first time in American History, has no geographical base. All previous wars had known territory. Where are the terrorists—tell me?
Our new veterans are called GWOT”S/ Global War on Terror Veterans. Pretty cosmic eh? So then how do you know if you are winning of loosing if the battle field is a movable feast?

We have not declared War since June of 1941. These new age wars are called “Wars of Assimilation” and they do not need me or you or any of the American people to be fought. You can easily trace this trend back to a State Department Document that was commissioned in 1962. It was titled ” A World Effectively Controlled by the United Nations.” The author was Dr. Lincoln Bloomfield of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Then proceed to reading a fiction short story entitled “The Origins of The Military Coups of 2012″ in the United States Army War College magazine called Parameters: 1992.You can find it online. After reading these documents both chicken hawks, real hawks, and real doves will see the world order with a much broader perspective.

"Living under a rock" - such a reasoned response. In the meantime: "In March 2009, the Obama administration requested that Pentagon staff members avoid use of the term, instead using "Overseas Contingency Operation" War on Terror It has nothing to do with support of the military and everything to do with clear thinking, which seems to be a weak point for this particular group of veterans .

Mr. tiponeill –

Obviously someone has been living under a rock for the past 8 years. And thanks for your support for the military that is dying so that you can make such an asinine statement as the one you posted. Please, do everyone a favor and crawl back under the rock.

Someone should tell the clowns that there is no “War on Terror”, that was a Bush/Cheney PR stunt.
