FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

Speaking of Bayonets… this is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, MISTER President.

Note the equipment used there.

I mention this because I know the President’s been there at least once; apparently, Obama simply didn’t give a tinker’s dam.

    You all know that the President did not say we don’t use horses or bayonets but instead said that we use fewer horses and bayonets, right?

  • bige80

    Isn’t a “ship” that goes under water, sunk? I thought submarines were classified as “boats.”

  • Danielle Davis (ocleverone)

    My comment was about being on any Navy vessel. You can split hairs on boat or a ship. The point still stands. And I doubt seriously if Obama would ever set foot on a boat…aka submarine.

  • Danielle Davis (ocleverone)

    Well, that just makes everything all better and peachy keen. /sarcasm

  • creationrebel

    “They also use FEWER horses and bayonets,” said the President. Comparing today’s weapons to weapons of WW 1, makes that a factual statement.

  • jerseygalnny

    Obama sounded desperate, and that crack about horses and bayonets just gave more credence to Mitt Romney saying he was out of touch. IMO, he behaved like a spoiled child. Romney was clearly the adult in the debate room.

  • ihateliberals

    Having Served my Country in Vietnam I feel it a disgrace for this President to even show up at the tomb. I have been in position to fix bayonets and thank God was rescued before i had to use it but i would have if forced too. The Marines still have the Sword as part of their weapon arsenal so Mr. President we do used and need the Bayonet and most importantly the resolve to use it when necessary.

  • kreplach

    Why the MISTER in the headline? Is that something from the debate?

  • Guest

    Which it wouldn’t. The ICJ does not have such powers, I believe.

  • funwithknives

    It is obvious to any who pay attention that Progressives only “Honor” The Military when it serves their purposes. Think back to when Hillary got her nose waayyy out of joint when the Marines assigned to The W H could not haul her luggage and she so-publically whined about it.
    This comment, among the hundreds of others BHO so clumsily utters, shows him [without question] to be The Total Jackass he so obviously is.
    As-to your last sentence , add ‘down’ after ‘talk’ and it makes a much more fulfilling statement.

  • Mike_D_in_SC

    Yes, it was absolutely an ignorant comment, and delivered in a quite petulant tone, I might add. The earth’s surface is 70% ocean, and an aircraft carrier battle group is the absolute best way to project military power quickly anywhere in the world. The President’s comment displayed his ignorance of this simple fact.

  • dockywocky

    Obama allowed his boss, Valerie Jarrett, more security vacationing at Martha’s Vinyard than he allowed for the Benghazi consulate and the sacrificial ambassador.

    I doubt whether she has ever been to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, because to her, our troops are the enemy.

    Never have so many been conned by so few.

  • scubadiver49er

    Another “Corpsman” comment. He just doesn’t; get it!

  • celador2

    Thank you for your service to our country. I doubt Obama does well with veteran voters or current military. He is plain tone deaf and out of step no matter what.

  • streiff

    This is what happens when idiots try to play this game. Dougerson is obviously a pencil neck who has played a lot of video games and is under the illusion that this makes him into a real combat solder. His gender confusion is accentuated by his spelling bayonet “bayonette.” How very cute. How very French. And I doubt seriously that Dougerson has ever met a soldier.

    For Dougerson’s edification I’m offering this picture. They aren’t hard to find.

    Another pencil neck. Hope this satisfies.

    Both Clintons had such disdain for the military, when they were in the White House. Hillary Clinton thinks that the military assigned to the White House are nothing better than bell boys in a hotel.

  • kodster5

    Speaking of gaffes… Obama says that the Air Force uses air craft carriers to land on. No… it’s Navy pilots that use air craft carriers… hence, Navy vessels?

  • http://www.plumbbobblog.com Plumb_Bob

    …attempting to paint the Navy’s concern for ship count as though it was obsolete in the modern world. The US Navy is anything but obsolete, and the ship count request — it was the Navy’s request, not Mitt Romney’s — was neither arbitrary nor irresponsible.

    Obama demonstrated merely that he despises the US military, the same as he despises the US citizen. This is a dangerous and evil man, and an enemy of the American experiment in personal liberty. He must be removed from the Presidency.

  • http://www.plumbbobblog.com Plumb_Bob

    Democrats generally hold the military in similar disdain. They pretend otherwise only because they would lose elections dramatically if they spoke and behaved as they believe. This is one of a dozen or more topics on which Democrats routinely dissemble. They are not whom they appear to be, and they know it.

  • streiff

    that was a statement that showed how blindingly stupid this guy is about the military. Ships don’t move fast, especially carrier battle groups. To be effective they have to be forward deployed otherwise USAF bombers flying from the US can strike targets earlier. Only about 1/3 of your ships can be on station at one time. Another 1/3 is in transit to/from station and the last 1/3 is in rebuild. When you start dropping into the 290 range you lose the ability to keep forces at sea for extended periods of time.

  • sexysadie

    BO is a disgrace. I wanted to kick my TV last night watching his smug face and listening to his childish remarks. To me, it seemed like he did more talking than Romney. I thought Romney was extremely statesmanlike and BO extremely childish. His distain for the military is only outdone by his distain for anything American. He should be put on trial for high treason, nevermind impeached! He is an embarassment! The fact is that he was elected only because of his skin color. Period.

  • streiff

    checked the transcript. He doesn’t say that. Though the fact I had to check the transcript to see speaks volumes for how ignorant this guy is.

  • tnfriendofcoal101368

    In addition, he called a submarine a “ship”; I think technically “boat” is the correct term. Perhaps, John Kerry should have done a better job schooling him.

  • saltporkdoc

    There are some of us who even remember TOMAHAWKS (and I don’t mean the exploding kind) being used in Vietnam.
    A desperate statement by a desperate man.

  • mackd

    Just a quick aside. Someone said; “Navy Pilots” uh, watch “Top Gun” the Navy has AVIATORS, not pilots….lol

    Also, that’s an M14, a rifle that has been in continuous use from the Korean War up to present day. Just, yanno, a fact-check. :P

  • streiff

    absolutely correct. The combat version is the M-21 but it is really just an accurized M-14.

  • ihateliberals

    Well you have met one now. In Vietnam while on a patrol we were pined and used the ammo that we carried which isn’t all that much. when you get to that point its Fix Bayonet time and pray to God you don’t have to use it. In my case that is what Happened. At the last moment our wonderful Air Force made a strike that allowed us to retreat to safety and be rescued. It happened and i suppose it still happens. Point is it there is we next them ans we are still trained on them every single day that the military defend you. Now you have met someone who has had to use a bayonet for it’s real purpose. How’s it feel?
