Oh really? Since when? Certainly not in the last four years. Let's face it, in Barry "Almighty" we have a man who absolutely loathes those in uniform. Our piss-poor example of a commander-in-chief went through the motions at a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery Sunday claiming to pay tribute to "the heroes over the generations who have served this country of ours with distinction." Speaking at the Memorial Amphitheater, Barry said that "no ceremony or parade, no hug or handshake is enough to truly honor" their service, but that we must commit to serving them as they’ve served us. Just empty words!
He said the wreath he laid earlier at Tomb of the Unknowns was intended to remember every service member who has worn a uniform for our nation. "You’ve toppled a dictator and battled an insurgency in Iraq. You pushed back the Taliban and decimated al-Qaida in Afghanistan," Barry told the vets. "You delivered justice to Osama bin Laden." The remarks came after Barry praised the 9/11 generation’s contribution to the United States. Stepping forward after the Twin Towers fell, he said they have "stepped into history, writing one of the greatest chapters in military service our country has ever known."
Barry also spoke of how his domestic policy relates to veterans, reminding them that three years ago he promised they would be welcomed home to a country that fights for them as they have fought for us. Saying that "no one who fights for this country overseas should ever have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head," Barry then proceeded to attack inefficient government bureaucracy. "No veteran should have to wait months, or years, for the benefits that you’ve earned, so we will continue to attack the claims backlog, we won’t let up," he said strongly. I guess that's why he's so busy doing his best to reduce those same benefits.
Maybe because those in attendance were all well aware that Barry was lying and greeted his statement with a hesitant applause, in and effort to sound sincere Barry repeated, "We will not let up." After discussing new benefits for veterans, Barry said: "That’s what we do in America. We take care of our own. We take care of our veterans. We take care of your families, not just by saluting you on one day once a year, but by fighting for you and your families every day, every year." We take care of our own? REALLY? In the shadow of Benghazi, I'd say that statement doesn't exactly ring true. Actually, Barry leaves our own behind to die.
Barry concluded his attempt at a solemn speech: "We carry on knowing that our best days always lie ahead. On this day we thank all of our veterans from all of our wars, not just for your service to this country, but for reminding us why America is, and always will be, the greatest nation on Earth. God bless you, God bless our veterans, God bless our men and women in uniform, and God bless these United States of America. Thank you very much." This guy turns my stomach. He talks of patriotism and the importance of holding of our veterans in high regard, and it's all nothing more a sick and twisted lie. He's a disgrace!
