BUSH VERSUS OBAMA: WHO DO THE TROOPS LOVE AND RESPECT - AND WHAT IT MIGHT THAT LEAD TO . . .

CHECK OUT THE SIDE BY SIDE VIDEOS AT GATEWAY.

• EVEN CNN SAID THE RESPONSE OF THE TROOPS TO OBAMA WAS "TEPID".

• BUSH ROUTINELY GOT THUNDEROUS AND WARM RECEPTIONS FROM THE TROOPS.

• BUSH - WHO SENT THEM INTO HARM'S WAY - WAS A HERO FOR THE TROOPS,

• A COMMANDER IN CHIEF THEY KNEW WOULD STAND BY THEM AND DEFEND THE USA AND THE FREE WORLD - WHICH IS AFTER ALL THE MISSION THEY HAD ALL VOLUNTEERED TO BE A PART OF - REGARDLESS OF THE SACRIFICE.

• REPEAT: REGARDLESS OF THE SACRIFICE.

• THEY KNOW THAT OBAMA IS NO SUCH LEADER, AND NOT A BONAFIDE COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

• THIS IS IMPORTANT:

• WITHOUT THE RESPECT OF THE TROOPS EFFECTIVE COMMAND IS IMPOSSIBLE.

• I BELIEVE THAT THE TROOPS SENSE THAT OBAMA IS NOT ONE OF THEM, OR FOR THEM, OR FOR THEIR MISSION.

• FOR THIS REASON, I THINK WE WILL VERY SOON SEE A HUGE DROP OFF IN ENLISTMENTS - SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPENED DURING THE BUSH YEARS.
  

• THE TYPES OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE ALL FOR THEIR NATION AND THE FREE WORLD WILL NOT DO SO FOR A COMMANDER IN CHIEF WHO WOULD RATHER APPEASE OUR ENEMIES THAN OPPOSE THEM.

• THEY WON'T ENLIST TO SERVE A COMMANDER THEY CANNOT RESPECT.

“The greatest leader in the world could never win a campaign unless he understood the men he had to lead.”

“Remember, a good leader is one who causes or inspires others, staff or subordinate commanders to do the job.”

“To create great armies is one thing; to lead them . . . is another.”

––Sir Winston Churchill

“A competent leader can get efficient service from poor troops; while, on the contrary, an incapable leader can demoralize the best of troops.”
