Future Memorial Days

I would like to take the opportunity presented by the serious nature of today’s national holiday to address the current news cycle as it pertains to our Military men and women present and future.    As of this morning, the world is fully aware that North Korea, an internationally recognized dictatorship and rouge nation, has the capability of launching a nuclear warhead that is reportedly on par with Hiroshima.   It is now clear (and probably has been to those that serve in the region) that our US men and women that serve in the pacific theater are now under a direct threat of a nuclear attack, should the ‘Glorious Leader’ Kim Jong Il, decide to toss a bomb at someone close by.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect that he will (NUTS as he may be) because it would entail the immediate and very purposeful decimation of his entire ‘crackpot kingdom’ (surely starting with his very visible and well publicized assassination).   The point is that the threat IS THERE.
It is now possible to imagine a future where memorial day is taken much more seriously by the largely ignorant American populace because of this nut job’s decision to proceed with an internationally condemned nuclear test. Of course, without the lackadaisical, ever-trusting left wing of American politics, this may not have been the present reality.   What does it say that the Democrats are more willing to believe a certifiably insane Communist dictator (with a long history of lying to the world, exaggerating his own benevolence, and killing those that disagree with him) than they are the loyal opposition of their own country?

Pyonyang says: “We’re just looking for nuclear power for our country to make electricity”.
Pelosi, et al say: “We should talk to them to see if they’ll stop, and in the mean time offer them some technology and aid money and food to knock it off”.
George W. Bush says: “Saddam is a ruthless thug dictator that is a threat to the US”.
The very same left wing cabal shout: Bush is a liar! Impeach Impeach!!!! War Crimes!!! Torture!!!

Can anyone tell me how a person with a proven mental instability (and a voracious appetite for expensive liquor) can be allowed to have a nuclear weapon at his dispsoal? Do we also routinely let violent, pedophlie sex offenders visit our preschools with shotguns and grenades? Hell no, of course we don’t. Doing so would be too great a threat to those whom we seek to protect. Kim Jong Il is a BIG problem. It should be active, open US policy to see that he and his entire power structure in North Korea are quickly and decisively deposed and incarcerated. Keep in mind that this is a man that had his military kidnap a Korean filmmaker and his wife for his own personal film-making pleasure. The man is a certifiable loony tune. Anyone living in this country having taken the same course of action would be locked up in the crazy house for the rest of his days. He is a threat to not only our safety, but to that of our Pacific allies.

I’m sure there are those out there who would call me a war-monger or imperialist hack for saying that, but if a man expresses a very real dislike for me and my family and follows that by waving a weapon in my face, he’s not going to live long enough to think about the ramifications of his actions… but that’s just me caring about the well-being of my family.

One thing is absolutely certain. America’s soldiers, due to the ignorance, political posturing, and naivete of the left in this country are – and will continue to be – at a greater threat of becoming part of the remembered on memorial day rather than those that do the remembering. God hold our troops close… past, present and future.
