General McCarthy's reitrement speech

[Willie99]

saw this at West Point today

And through all this welter of change and development your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable. It is to win our wars. Everything else in your professional career is but corollary to this vital dedication. All other public purpose, all other public projects, all other public needs, great or small, will find others for their accomplishments; but you are the ones who are trained to fight.

Yours is the profession of arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory, that if you lose, the Nation will be destroyed, that the very obsession of your public service must be Duty, Honor, Country.

McCain gets it, he understands this. Losing is not an option.

Modern day Democratic leaders don't. Not Obama, not Nancy, not Harry and certainly not their looney left wing fringe.

 

[Willie99]

Let there be no mistake, the military leaders I met today support John McCain, any suggestion otherwise is pure poppycock.

However, they're not happy with George Bush, although they still respect him, but they despise Donald Rumsfeld. They think Rummy fucked up this war by not putting 250,000 men in Iraq right away. Bush shares this blame since it's ultimately his decision.

MacArthur father & grandfather both won the Congressional Medal of Honor and he surpassed both of them, he was the American Caeser. McCain tho no MacArthur is cut of the same cloth. Obama is not!

are you really attempting to compare MacArthur and john fucking mccain? you my friend are a fucking idiot. MacArthur fought in the war that ended all wars. im a proud republican. but lets keep something real. mccain was a pow. MacArthur was a general who basically commanded the americans to defeat japan and then rebuilt it to a power it is today. please stop being a dumbass.


everyone on this forum is so partisan it simply astounds me. and Mccarthy is not Macarthur so nice history knowledge.
