Geee Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Washington Times: he parents of a SEAL Team Six member who was killed when his helicopter was shot down over Afghanistan have penned a letter to President Obama, calling into question the commander-in-chief’s leadership abilities and saying outright that he ought to resign. Billy and Karen Vaughn — who lost their SEAL son Aaron Carson Vaugh in 2011 — said they’re sick and tired of hearing the president’s monotone press conferences, absent any emotion, and frustrated with his inability to confront the Islamic State, the Daily Mail reported. They were specifically outraged by his less-than-passionate response to the terrorist beheading of American journalist James Foley, and his near-simultaneous retreat to the golf course.

SrWoodchuck Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Sweet @Geee! Just read this. Awesome words....and accurate. God bless them & others that have had to sacrifice for America. We have some parents that attend my 7:30AM Mass @ St. Joe's. They lost their son in Iraq & the Mass is dedicated to Lance Corporal Andrew Reidel....at least once a month. God help us all. Aaron Carson Vaughn From the letter, Via DailyMail: Aaron Vaughn was a man who possessed the courage to acknowledge evil. And evil, once truly acknowledged, demands response. Perhaps this is why so few are willing to look it in the eye. It is much simpler — much safer — to look the other way. That is, unless you are the leader of the Free World. As Commander-in-Chief, your actions — or lack thereof — Mr. President, cost lives. As you bumble about in your golf cart, slapping on a happy face and fist-pounding your buddies, your cowardly lack of leadership has left a gaping hole — not only in America’s security — but the security of the entire globe. Your message has come across loud and clear, sir: You are not up to this job. You know it. We know it. The world knows it. Please vacate the people’s house and allow a man or woman of courage and substance to seize the reigns of this out-of-control thug-fest and regain the balance we, America, have provided throughout our great history. And now, we have this recent, heinous event: the beheading of an American citizen by a barbaric organization you foolishly referred to as “the JV team” in your statements to the New Yorker magazine in January.You, sir, are the JV team. It’s time for you to step down and allow a true leader to restore our honor and protect our sons and daughters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
