The attitude of the left about those who SERVE..SERVE is a ghastly reminder of the erudition they see only in themselves, and the utter and disgusting contempt with which they hold both those who SERVE and those who ADMIRE THEIR EFFORTS TO SERVE.
These are the kind of men in that 'enemy territory' Matthews:
Ira Gilliand recalls his night on the ridge, Guadalcanal, Sept 12, 1942
It's tough to talk about this stuff. It's been fifty-eight years. It gives me the chills thinking about it.The Japanese were trying to outflank us and looked like they were going to overrun our position. I remember their screams. They screamed a lot, especially when they were charging. It made you alert in a hurry even after being up for two days and you're ready to fall asleep.
They kept charging, but that's where the grenades came in. We threw grenades all night long. I remember rolling the grenades down. We were up on the hill and they were below us. They kept feeding us boxes of grenades. I remember the sound of Plante's BAR. He kept it going all night long. A lot of guys spent a terrible night out there.
The 1st Parachute Battalion was with us. I remember one of the paratroopers got shot. The corpsman came over because of his cry for help, and he [the corpsman] got shot right through the heart. His name was Smith, so when I saw Smith go down, I grabbed him and carried him down the hill. I didn't think he was going to die. When I got him down to the first aid station, I saw one of our doctors cry. [chokes up] Old Smitty was my friend, a real nice guy, and I broke down also.

The Cadets and all who were blessed to attend or have one close who attended WEST POINT-know who and what bho and his cohorts are....
Notice the lack of applause during the teleprompter 'applause' time..
the slow rise-during 'standing ovation' time...
I'm rambling--
one thing-I turned off the sound -so I could watch some of our BEST w/o hearing bho's voice...
I was listening to Mark Levin's takes during the bho 'speech'...

That's a good way to listen. Although, it is not as good as my way, which was simply not to listen at all.
;-)
Pastorius - Levin did make me smile w/ his comments--and watching the Cadets--warmed my heart---
If it had been any other venue--I - too- would not have watched nor listened...:-)

Der Spiegel on applause:
"Just minutes before the president took the stage inside Eisenhower Hall, the gathered cadets were asked to respond "enthusiastically" to the speech. But it didn't help: The soldiers' reception was cool. "
THAT ought to be a cautionary item for the CINC, but I winder if he was anything but annoyed, OR IF HE NOTICED
E-since bho is focused only on himself and underpinned by alinsky-ayers-wright 'training' he NOTICED...
he is not dumb-just .....!!!!!
Thank you this great post...
