Is this how we honor our military?

I have witnessed a despicable attitude by a Commander In Chief as a result of the murder of 5 American servicemen who were on duty unarmed at a training base in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  The solution that this ‘woodstock’ generation came up with is an even greater insult.  They say ‘Do not dress in uniform as this will insult someone, somewhere, some place at any time.

As a veteran, I was proud to show off my uniform at home and out of country.  I felt sorry for those that passed up this honor.

The solution, as perceived by many American veterans is that recruiter personal and military bases have a right to display their colors whenever possible with a colt 45 sidearm (loaded) to show terrorists that Americans will not be intimidated any longer.  We will defend ourselves despite our political class of cowards.  

All military personal should be  required to be dressed in dress uniform when departing a military ship or base.  Be proud of who you are.

The American Legion Ray Welch Post 13 lowered our American flag to half staff and plan on keeping it at that position until the last funeral of our brothers who fell as a result of a questionable Commander In Chief.
