Obama: Mein Fürher!

I suppose this is the kind of thing you get with a megalomaniacal egomaniac.

But the answer is: "No, Barry.  They don't."

Yesterday, our coward-in-chief uttered some fateful words: "...“those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf.”

I almost threw up.

Fighting for YOU?  Are you shitting me?  Most of them wouldn't cross the STREET for "you."

Fighting for YOU?

"....when I think about those soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," he said.

If he was so fricking concerned about gays in the military, he wouldn't have taken an action that will spill their blood and the blood of others as a result of his social engineering in the middle of a war.

And a "wink and a nod" to reduced mission capabilities, social battlefield complexities and political correctness that is ENTIRELY driven by his desire for re-election is not enough, either.

Obama's cowardice on this issue... and so many others... is palpable. 

You see, in Germany during the last war, the members of the German military and all the civil servants were required to swear allegiance to Hitler... not Germany... Hitler.

THEY were, in fact, fighting for Hitler.  The paralells?

Text of the oaths[edit] Wehrmacht oathin German 'Die Vereidigung der Wehrmacht auf Adolf Hitler, 2.8.1934


"Ich schwöre bei Gott diesen heiligen Eid, daß ich dem Führer des Deutschen Reiches und Volkes Adolf Hitler, dem Oberbefehlshaber der Wehrmacht, unbedingten Gehorsam leisten und als tapferer Soldat bereit sein will, jederzeit für diesen Eid mein Leben einzusetzen."

The Wehrmacht Oath of Loyalty to Adolf Hitler, 2 August 1934

"I swear by God this sacred oath that to the Leader of the German empire and people, Adolf Hitler, supreme commander of the armed forces, I shall render unconditional obedience and that as a brave soldier I shall at all times be prepared to give my life for this oath."

[edit] Civil servant oath Diensteid der öffentlichen Beamten

Ich schwöre: Ich werde dem Führer des Deutschen Reiches und Volkes Adolf Hitler treu und gehorsam sein, die Gesetze beachten, und meine Amtspflichten gewissenhaft erfüllen, so wahr mir Gott helfe.

Service oath for public servants

I swear: I will be faithful and obedient to the leader of the German empire and people, Adolf Hitler, to observe the law, and to conscientiously fulfil my official duties, so help me God!

[edit] Consequences By swearing loyalty to the person of Adolf Hitler rather than the nation or the constitution, the officers and men of the armed forces found themselves bound by their honor to the Führer, even after Hitler had set out down the path to war and ordered the Wehrmacht to commit war crimes. Among the infamous crimes were atrocities in Poland and the Commissar Order in the Soviet Union.

As the dictator's desire for war became increasingly clear in late 1938 during the Sudetenland crisis, a number of Wehrmacht officers hatched plans for a conspiracy against Hitler that was to be launched as soon as the dictator launched the invasion of Germany's neighbor; the Munich Agreement put an end to the dispute as well as the plot against Hitler. Though historians cite a number of factors why Hitler's opponents within the armed forces failed to act when they realized the dictator's aims, their reluctance to violate their personal oath of loyalty is cited as a prominent factor.

The oath is prominently featured in the film Valkyrie, about the 1944 military plot against Hitler.

So, no, Barry... they DON'T fight "on your behalf."

The military doesn't support you, won't vote for you, and would, if they were in some other country, all ready would have replaced you because of your ignorance, your disdain, your ineptitude and the fact that YOU are responsible for getting many of them killed and maimed.

YOU.

And now you cite THEM as a reason to extend your cowardice FURTHER?
