Mamas - Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Soldiers

They Sign Up to Fight, but instead are sacrificed.
The hearts and minds of the enemy are more valuable to this government than my son’s blood. This is submission and the cost of that submission on August 6 was my only son.” -- A Grieving Mother of a Brave American Seal speaking at the National Press Club, Washington DC
On 6 August 2011, a Boeing CH-47 Chinook military helicopter was shot down while transporting a quick reaction force attempting to reinforce an engaged unit of Army Rangers in Wardak province, west of Kabul, Afghanistan. All 38 people on board were killed, including 25 American special operations personnel, five United States Army National Guard and Army Reserve crewmen, seven Afghan commandos, and one Afghan interpreter, and a U.S. military working dog. It is considered the worst loss of U.S Military life in the Afghanistan campaign.

"Eighty per-cent of the U.S. deaths in Afghanistan over the past twelve years have occurred during the four years of the Obama administration. 15,000 US soldiers have come home injured or maimed during that same 4-year period" (compared to 2700 during the previous 8 years). -- Karen Vaughn

Read The Conservative Mom about the Press Conference today at the National Press Club, Washington DC and the treachery from American leaders that has cost so many of our young soldiers to lose their lives. President Obama and Vice President Biden, disclosed highly secret information on May 4, 2011, about the Navy Seal Team 6 that carried out the successful raid on Bin Laden’s compound resulting in his death. This disclosure put a retaliatory target on the backs of the fallen heroes, and they were shot down a few months later.
