I wish General Petraeus would run for President. 1,200 people re-enlisting. They love this country, and believe in what they are doing. I want Obama to tell me some more about how much he loves America. We are invited to a Retiring Ceremony at Great Lakes in August, and a party for a Navy Chief. Chief was in Kuwait for a year.

There is no doubt in my mind: That the chiefs are the sturdiest links in the chain of command for the Navy.
A pacifist salute.

It would be a good question as to why this Dem Moonbat Quaker would vote for and support this story.
I have been reading a bit of what General Petraeus has written.
This may be a long .PDF

But there is a fair amount, that a dude like me can cherry pick out and support.
From my perspective I welcome a leader who will accept the rules of war and embrace the treaties signed by this country. Not only embrace, but recognize their importance.
Please forgive me if this seems like a snipe at my friends on the right, but from what I have read, a lot of what he has to say: stands in sharp opposition to what I believe to be the doctrine of this current Administration.
If the dudes on the ground still want to play and if they are embracing David's rules then they have my support.

Every bit of me is in favor of killing the terrorists there instead of here.
At this point it is part of the war on terror. However we got there that is what it is now. Al Qaeda has made it their goal to run us out. For that reason we need to stay and kill them there. As far as I am concerned that is top priority for us. The battle ground is where you find it. At present they have a short life expectancy. We need to make it even shorter. The Taliban seems to want to do the same thing in Afghanistan. Same thing there. The more terrorists we kill the better off the world will be.

"It would be a good question as to why this Dem Moonbat Quaker would vote for and support this story."
Not really, it's a sign of both intelligence and maturity to want to take part in discussions you may personally disagree with.
Sinking a story cause it doesn't support ones views or put your side in a bad light is,
Not a sign of both intelligence and maturity.

Lose Moral Legitimacy, Lose the War
During the Algerian war of independence between 1954 and 1962, French leaders decided to permit torture against suspected insurgents. Though they were aware that
it was against the law and morality of war, they argued thatâ;;
1ï; This was a new form of war and these rules did not apply.
2ï; The threat the enemy represented, communism, was a great evil that justified extraordinary means.
3ï; The application of torture against insurgents was measured and nongratuitous.

This official condoning of torture on the part of French Army leadership had several negative consequences. It empowered the moral legitimacy of the opposition, undermined
the French moral legitimacy, and caused internal fragmentation among serving officers that led to an unsuccessful coup attempt in 1962. In the end, failure to comply with moral and legal restrictions against torture severely undermined French efforts and contributed to their loss despite several significant military victories.
Illegal and immoral activities made the counterinsurgents extremely vulnerable to enemy propaganda inside Algeria among the Muslim population, as well as in the United Nations and the French media. These actions also degraded the ethical climate throughout the French Army. France eventually recognized Algerian independence in July 1963.

Please forgive my Soap box stance:
I just thought, I should give an example of what I was talking about.
These are words from General Petraeus.
