There are many things that SandBox Nanny finds unacceptable in Barack Obama's leadership. So much so, he is the first President she has ever been unable to muster enough respect for to address him as President Barack Obama each time she speaks of him. Her respect for the Office of the Presidency runs too deep to get her tongue wrapped around the title and his name except on rare occasions .
The denigrating of America that Obama has done in the global community and the disrespect he shows to our military in even the simplest of gestures as knowing how to properly salute.
But when he fired Gen. Stanley McChrystal, that was a defining moment in our history.
And now, there are two such moments.
It was not until Barack Obama that it became acceptable to undermine our military leaders, their authority and awareness of how to best perform their duty.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai is unapologetic as more of a foe of America than he is an allie.
Making no bones in his stance that he wants America and her allies out of his country, he won't help his people in a powerful enough manner to knock down rampant corruption and considers opium a viable commodity in Afghanistans general economy.
Sort of makes you wonder what the price tag is on the lives of our men and women on the ground over there when the men responsible for their safety can't speak up against their greatest risk.
SandBox thanks Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller, deputy commander of NATO for his service and apologizes to him on behalf of his Commander in Chief. From the looks of the commentary on this story, her wishes are confirmed by others.
"A top U.S. general stationed in Afghanistan has been fired for recent criticisms of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller, deputy commander of NATO's effort to train Afghan forces, was terminated for an interview he gave Thursday in which he hammered Karzai as "erratic" and inarticulate, according to a statement issued Saturday by Lt. Gen. John Allen, the commander of the war in Afghanistan...."
