SHOULD SOLDIERS DEPLOYED TO “FIGHT” EBOLA DEMAND OBAMA’S QUALIFICATIONS BEFORE RISKING THEIR LIVES?

(Oct. 8, 2014) — Grunt: lowest form of military life; the “bottom of the barrel;” lowest pay-grade; usually referred to as “infantry;” counterpart in the Navy would be an E-2 Seaman Apprentice, one step above a Seaman Recruit, a sailor still in Boot Camp.
“No, I’m not refusing a direct order, Sarge. All I’m saying is that I’m more than willing; why, I’m almost volunteering, but, if it’s all the same to you, I just ain’t doing it unless, and this is the deal-breaker, Obama proves to my satisfaction that he really is, first, an American citizen and really Constitutionally eligible to be our Commander-in-Chief and, secondly, he’s not a Muslim.”
“No, I ain’t got nothing against Muslims, as long as they stay on their side of the ocean, that is. Look, it’s no big deal to show your real honest-to-God Birth Certificate. You had to do it; everyone in my squad had to do it; all the generals and admirals had to do it; so why doesn’t Obama do it? Out of all the people in our military, everyone showed his Birth Certificate except the Commander-in-Chief? Nope, I just ain’t buying it. Go ahead, ask around.”
“You see? Everyone in the squad agrees with me. We ain’t movin’ until we’re satisfied. And, no, we’re not taking his word for it, or any Left-Wing-Loony-Bin organization’s word for it, either. Tell you what: let’s ask everyone in the company.”
“You’re surprised? Shouldn’t be. Obama lies, or don’t you get it? Okay, so far we have the company agreeing that we’re not moving out until we get the truth. Let’s step it up a notch and ask everyone on base. You’re not, like, afraid, are you? HA! There you have it: everyone on base has finally decided, no, we’re not getting on any airplane to ‘fight’ Ebola, unless Obama comes clean and proves, once and for all, that he’s not who we think he is.”
“You mean you really don’t know? Obama’s a fake, an imposter. Nah, he ain’t even American. How ’bout those Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan, ‘Sand Box Land’, where the Muslims can shoot from a mosque and we can’t call in air support to level it? Why not? You have any idea why not? And don’t give me any of this ‘religion’ nonsense; we just ain’t buying into this ‘misunderstood’ and ‘peaceful’ hogwash anymore, no way.”
“Follow orders? Right. Legal orders we have no problem with, but ever since the Joint Chiefs of Staff turned their backs on LTC Terry Lakin, I wouldn’t give you two cents for any silver bars on my collar. In Vietnam they called it ‘fragging,’ because a grenade is like a shotgun: can’t trace it.”
“Make up your own mind. All I’m saying is that I didn’t sign up to follow orders from someone I don’t like, don’t respect and, for sure, don’t trust, even to the point to question his being in my country in the first place, legally, that is; and if you’re going to arrest me and put me before the Mast, good luck, ’cause you’re going to have to do everybody in every service.”
“No, this ain’t no joke. ‘We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore,’ understand? If I were you, I’d get with the program. You’re on the wrong side here, supporting Obama. See, I’m cleaning my gun, and ‘accidents’ have been known to happen when a Grunt cleans his gun, isn’t that right?”
If I were a grunt, I would approve this message.
Wouldn’t it be interesting IF we had a squad of Marines/Soldiers that took this stance?
