An Inspiring Story

As I drive to work each morning, I tune in to Bill BennettÂ’s show. This morning he interviewed Stephen F. Hayes from The Weekly Standard, regarding his current article on the Ride 2 Recovery involving a number of our nationÂ’s Wounded Warriors. It is an article you wonÂ’t soon forget. I wonÂ’t excerpt the piece because of the power of the story, but will instead link it here.

Obama Welcome By Troops In Iraq Staged?

I certainly hope not – but that report is out there. I wonder if it will be looked at by the press?

We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.

Questions that need to be asked by our nationÂ’s media:

1) Did this happen as reported by this senior enlisted man on site?
2) Who ordered that this be done if it did actually happen?
3) What action will be taken to stop the politicization of our military in the future?

One would hope that our nationÂ’s military would always receive the commander-in-chief politely and respectfully. But if the White House (or DoD) is engaging in this sort of screening to make it appear that the president (and his Iraq policy) is more popular among the troops than he actually is, IÂ’m deeply disturbed.
