The Meaning of Benghazi

“EXPENDABLE”

(Jan. 22, 2014) — Hark! View yonder, penetrate that thick fog of deceit and envision, if you will, the tendrils of Truth. Alas, what is Truth nowadays in a land of shadows, a sea void of landmarks, the horizon indiscernible from the air but for fleeting, floating figments of past imaginings. Is our memory intact, or have we collectively forgotten the primary rule: do not overextend; refrain from headlong pursuits that Thee can not maintain; do not stretch the supply line too far; reinforcements work only if they can reinforce; the cavalry is good only if it arrives in time.

Dying for your country is a high calling, an honor of dubious distinction if the objective isn’t attained, the skirmish in doubt, the battle in jeopardy, or the war lost. The main objective failed: troops metamorphose from marching to war to marching home in defeat: no parades for the vanquished; defeated warriors forever carrying the shame of bosses who knew not the art of war: win quickly and decidedly extinguish the embers of resurrection, for good. Have you seen Hitler, Mao, Stalin, or Pol Pot lately? For all of our sakes, we pray not.

We all micro-manage our involvement in whatever tasks we put before ourselves. We pay attention to detail, for to daydream while doing anything can lead to dire consequences, such as not seeing the stop sign or not holding the knife properly while slicing carrots. Sending Americans abroad to protect our worldwide interests takes special precautions, and these assets have, or should have, the full support of all of us. Our military has the capability to strike anywhere at any time. Our brothers and sisters have given their lives in attempting to save a fellow American.

Or we used to.

Used to.

The “Lesson of Benghazi” took the meaning of the word “expendable” to a whole new level. One would have thought that the lessons of World War II would have made it to the classrooms of the War College and the State Department. The abandonment of our guys at Wake Island is just one case in point: “Hold on, help is on the way. You’ll see the destroyer’s masts first. Look East.” They never arrived. They never arrived because they were never sent.

Fifty, 60, or 70 years later and we haven’t learned what we should have been paying attention to. The lowly squad leader sure does, though, believe me. The platoon leader and the company commander, too. But not the Secretary of Defense? Not the Secretary of State? Not the de facto president? What gives? What deal was made with Lucifer that infamous night of September 11, 2012? What intricate and secret deals were decided, and who talked and who listened?

Imagine a person tasked with the security of embassy personnel who was never in the military? Who makes up up these job qualifications, anyway? How incompetent are we really?

I’ll tell you exactly how incompetent America has become.

“Hark! View yonder, penetrate that thick fog of deceit and envision, if you will, the tendrils of Truth.”

What do we see, what do we really see? We see proud Americans doing their patriotic duty being fed to the wolves, back-stabbed, let out to dry, let out to pasture, allowed to die, for they were judged EXPENDABLE long before that fateful night. Benghazi, yet another test case of how our men and women are to be treated by Obama and his Administration, LTC Terry Lakin and Fort Hood being two other prime examples.

Extrapolate how our military is being looked after should give anyone with an ounce of common sense an inkling of what the civilian population can expect from the current government: complete suspension of our civil rights and Bill of Rights.

The “Meaning of Benghazi” is clear: watch your back.

Some government, eh?

[NOTE: Proving Obama ineligible to have served as the POTUS would render ALL that he has attempted to destroy VOID. Imagine that? No Obamacare.]
