AIM Report |  By Diana West  |  March 3, 2010 During President Obama’s State of the Union address, after he made a pitch for putting active and open homosexuals into the U.S. military, Defense Secretary Robert Gates could be observed rising to his feet and applauding the President. The members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who were also in the audience, did not rise or clap. Later, Navy Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, fell into line, […]

Despite a growing number of attacks on our troops here in the United States the media, and even military officials, are keeping quiet on the Islamic connections of the attackers. About a month after the deadly shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, Army Criminal Investigation Division launched an investigation of 5 soldiers at Fort Jackson, South Carolina for poisoning the base’s food supply which sickened at least 5 soldiers, possibly more. Five non-citizens, Muslim soldiers, in training as Arabic translators, were arrested during the investigation and were found to have had contact with 5 Washington, D.C. area Muslim terrorists arrested at the same time. Yet, news of this attack – along with June’s shooting, which killed a recruiter and injured a prospective inductee, outside a Little Rock, Arkansas recruiting center-were buried by the major media which is unwilling to discuss the Islamic connection of these attacks. Keith Davies, Executive Director of the Forum for Middle East Understanding and the Walid Shoebat Foundation has more on these incidents. Listen

“I think many members (of Congress) are outraged,” Kingston told CNSNews.com. “The mainstream media hasn’t given this as much coverage as they would if they agreed with Perkins.

USS Farragut dispatched an SH-60B Seahawk helicopter to MV Barakaale 1 after it raised a distress call saying it was under attack from a gang on a skiff, the embassy said in a statement.

Will political correctness get us killed? The Jihadis arew using a war of information here in the US and it appears they are winning.

From what I have learned by spending time with military men and women serving our great nation and by spending time with many more veterans, our military is a well-oiled machine that is fueled by good order, discipline, morale and unit cohesion. Unlike our broken public school system and criminal justice system, our military is not a social experiment. Excellence is still the battle cry of warriors. Thank God.

The bottom line is simple: No other nation on earth capable of fielding the Airborne Laser, the F-22 and the other advanced weapons now on the Obama administration’s chopping block would willingly abandon them. That is especially true of those hostile to freedom, which will strive to acquire through purchase, theft and/or their own efforts similar capabilities to those we are giving up. We engage in such unilateral disarmament at our extreme peril – both to the forces who truly need to be second to none as they fight the nation’s wars, and to the rest of us whom they thereby seek to safeguard.

“And if you do change it, how would it affect recruiting and retention?” said Graham. “And these are the things I think they will be studying for the next year. So, my view of it is, it has worked.
