Please, General Powell...spare us your misplaced indignation. (Now, go give your BFF Obama, a lustful fist-bump).

     General Colin Powell made his rounds this past weekend on the usual Anti-Trump Media Sunday TV circuit, for the sole purpose of, what else, piling on the President of the United States.

     In earlier days, a time when respect for the Presidential office still prevailed, people like Colin Powell would remain in the shadows of retirement, delegating political bashing to media acquaintances, and attributing said comments, to some obscure source wishing to remain anonymous.
     
     Retired Generals of late, seem to have become Chatty Cathy's of sort, especially when the topic revolves around public ridicule of President Trump.  Seems rather unfair, considering reports of his predecessor Barack Obama going on regular fits of rampage, firing volumes of high ranking military brass...Generals, Admirals...no one seemed to be exempt from the wrath of Hussein.  No reports of these 'St. Valentine's Day Massacres' made public,  not a peep from an unbiased mass media. /s

     President Trump has exhibited the highest degree of respect and honor for our military, both active and Veterans.  One of his very first official actions was to make administrative appointments in the VA system, cleaning up a politically corrupted system which went ignored through most previous Presidential tenures, including General Powell's apparent soulmate, Barack Hussein Obama.

     This is probably a very good place to tell you about a man named 'Harold,' and a president named Barack Hussein Obama.*

"This summarizes how most liberals view the US military:

     Harold was a bright child. He grew up in America. He went to school and had a bright future ahead of him. Harold was full of life but was cut short in a violent moment. While few people had ever heard of Harold before his death, many did afterward And in death, something very shocking happened. What was so shocking, especially when it is compared to the death of someone else recently in the news?

     Harold was Harold Greene, Major General, United States Army. On Aug. 5, 2014, Major General Greene was killed by a Taliban terrorist.

     He was returned to America with full military honors.

     It has been a tradition that the president attends the funeral of General and Flag officers killed in the line of duty.

     Richard Nixon attended the funeral of Major General George Casey killed in Vietnam, and George W. Bush attended the funeral of Lieutenant General Timothy Maude, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks.

     While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was golfing. The Vice President wasn't there either. Neither was the Secretary of Defense.

     Flags were not even lowered half-mast.

     Four days after Harold Greene gave his life for America, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri.

     Brown was at best a young thug. In the minutes before his death, he committed a robbery at a local convenience store. According to other reports, Brown struck Officer Darren Wilson and shattered his orbital bone. 

     Obama sent a three-person delegation to Brown's funeral!

     Neither Obama nor Biden would attend the funeral of the highest ranking military officer killed in the line of duty since 9/11, yet he sent a delegation to the funeral of a thug.

     When Margaret Thatcher, one of America's staunchest allies and Ronald Reagan's partner in bringing down Soviet communism died, Obama sent only a small low-level delegation to her funeral. The snub was not missed by the British.

     When Chris Kyle, the most lethal American sniper in history was murdered, there was no expression of sympathy from the White House.

     But when Whitney Houston died from a drug overdose, the Obama/Biden administration ordered all flags be flown at half-mast.

     There was no White House delegation at the funeral of an American hero. American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course.        
             ~~ A thug dies and he gets a White House delegation.~~

     No wonder most "REAL" Americans hold Obama in such contempt, especially members of our Military.

     And Biden is now expounding on how great the Obama/Biden administration was.

     Stand up for the "Harolds" in America!"

 (End of guest commentary)

     One final personal comment for General Powell from 'yours truly,' a fellow military veteran.  Your elitist opinion is quite boring to us little grunts just trying to eke out a decent living, down here in the trenches.  A quick glance at your bio is an instant reminder, you are one of those select hobnobbing officers who never lowered himself, getting his hands dirty with the troops. While at the same time, never missing an opportunity to get down and do a bit of fist-bumping with the likes of people resembling your bro, Barack (Barry) Hussein (Soetoro) Obama.  

     As they say, "Birds of a feather, flock together."
