Sgt. Hook has a great "Letter to the Candidates" that should be required reading for anyone trying to gain any office of public trust.

I don't know if his plea to consider Honor in a profession not known for it's adherence to Honor will be effective or not, but it never hurts to try to hold Pols to the higher standard that Military men and women hold THEMSELVES to on a hourly basis.

Laughing Wolf of Blackfive stated that in his latest embed the ENLISTED men told him on a continuing basis that the "cut and run" talk of many politicians is having a negative effect on the situation as they see it and could those engaged in such discourse please just STFU.

These are the guys doing the heavy lifting in Iraq and Afghanistan, not the policy makers, and if anyone should know the day to day effects of any political pandering; it is they. Almost to a man, they want to GET THE JOB DONE and then come home with their heads held high in the knowledge that they kept their implicit and explicit word to the Iraqi and Afghanistani people, and to their comrades in arms that payed the price for freedom with their blood and last breaths.
