Pentagon to Extend Medal of Honor to Drone Operators Thousands of Miles Away from Combat Zones !
Obama’s new type of warfare demands new medals for courage and bravery in the midst of combat operations involving non-life-threatening, joy-stick warriors. How do I praise those brave men and women who have to sit in a room filled with overwhelming computer screens and flashing lights; almost blinding them with instant information that will determine whether they will, or will not, push a button on command from the CIA… or the US Military… to kill unknown personages [suggestive targeting]?
Quite frankly, I am perplexed!
The fact that our military has been feminized, eviscerated, and completely denigrated to a slovenly expression of non-warrior types has been mounting in the American public’s daily monitoring of the faux war; or, self-created war on terrorism. Obama has created an “Alice in Wonderland” type of existence where the concept of “brave” means “coming out of the closet”; and, the term “warrior” denotes non-confrontation with danger. Now if the person happens to be lucky enough to play with a joy stick thousands of miles away from a combat zone, he/she can become a ‘hero/heroine’.
Amazing!
What exactly can you expect from a POTUS; or, a Sec Def who has never witnessed the swollen, cankerous bellies of rotting corpses in a desert or a jungle? I can’t blame them. In fact, I do pity them for their obvious lack of courage. I despise them for their audacity and stupidity; assuming that a drone war, is both effective and aseptic.

As many of our former and present DCIs have pointed out in the excellent TV show, “Spymasters”, many of the more enlightened ones stated categorically that “killing so-called Al Qaeda operatives was at best counter-productive”; because the most important part of this type of counterterrorism war was HUMINT and humane interrogation.
“We cannot kill our way out of this war.” [“Spymaster”].
In any case, let’s go back to the potential heroes of the drone warfare and try to imagine what hazards these poor warriors may encounter in their daily kills:
▪ hemorrhoids; sitting for hours on end can be detrimental to your anus.
▪ tenosynovitis; no question that playing with a joy-stick for too long can induce an inflammation of the wrist/hand joints.
▪ blurred vision; most of us know how terrible it can be staring at the internet for hours on end.
▪ obesity; sitting in a chair for too long, without any exercise, can be harmful to your health.
You get the point.
Armchair warriors, including Obama, Ashton Carter, and many others have had to reconfigure a US military that really is not supposed to win a war; while, at the same time, allowing themselves the latitude to illegally initiate conflicts all over the world in the name of “protecting our national security” and lining their own pockets, of course.
However, what all of us have missed in this “Drone Award” is the fact that the true fighters in any conflict [i.e. Benghazi] are the outsourced mercenaries. They work for private defense contractors who are paying these “hired guns”-three to four times what an ordinary soldier in our military might make. These American Hessians receive an accolade entitled, “The Shadow Warriors Awards”.
Now, Obama has never discussed this award in public for fear that we might understand that he, like the others Presidents before him, has bypassed our Constitution; as well as our Congress; so that they may wreak havoc, at will, without our polity having to know anything about it. They can kill without any political/economic repercussions.
Why bother with the Constitution when you can hire killers from all over the world [Chile, Bulgaria, Chechenia, etc.] to do the POTUS’s dirty works? Obama is so clever that to avoid any mention of possible American military deaths which would presumably outrage the American public; he, in concert with John Brennan and other DCIs, sent Special Operations Forces[SOF], and placed them under the secret command of SOCOM; reporting, directly to the DCI, and not, the JCS; or, even the regular military command and control structure.
Get it?
We are playing games with our military and losing one war after another; because, no one in the WH or in USG has any idea of what they really are doing.

Therefore, I propose a new award for POTUS, Sec Def, DCI and the JCS---something along the lines of --- “The Medal of Honor for Prevarication and Pusillanimous.”
If we actually had an effective DOJ; FBI; Homeland Security; or even Secret Service, these aforementioned miscreants, would have been brought up on charges of fraud and intent to harm our body politic. I know, that is asking too much from our domestic overseers of our national judiciary. They are too busy harassing innocent citizens with their nonsensical warrants, investigations, and false flags.
How sad it is that the following names : Holder; Freeh; Webster; Mueller; and now, James Comey… are just political appointments blasting our ears with much sound and fury.. signifying absolutely nothing!
