Good catch, Joe. I heard about the return home of this man to Milledgeville on the radio and wondered if you might notice something, since it was such a big event.

"Are you actually suggesting that had more troops been thrown in willy-nilly that SSgt. French would've been saved?! "

Nobody is saying "willy-nillly," which you are mistakenly assuming here.

There may be excess delay in boosting troops by ObamaCo, but this has to be seen in the bigger context -- they have frequently behaved as though they are in over their heads and really don't know and can't firmly and promptly decide what they want. Not only about Afghanistan, but about economic intervention of all kinds, health care "reform," everything. We can't expect prompt action from them.

Are you actually suggesting that had more troops been thrown in willy-nilly that SSgt. French would've been saved?! Give me deliberation and getting things right over “gut” leadership and possibly putting more of our troops in possibly unnecessary danger any day!

Do you really think they were heroes? I think that they were poor fellows.

RIP SSgt. French, a reminder that troops still die while presidents deliberate.

Joe:

Thanks for, through your post, honoring Staff Sgt. Alex French and the ten other heroes.
