DANIEL GREENFIELD: THE HORSE SOLDIERS OF 9/11 THIS IS A MUST READ
Soon thereafter, the Green Berets would adopt the familiar title of Horse Soldiers.In honor of the victims of the 9/11 attacks, each Green Beret A-Team carried with them pieces of steel recovered from the rubble that was the World Trade Center.
At the site where each A-team completed their mission they respectively buried a piece of the World Trade Center steel and a properly folded American flag.
As the first unit to invade Afghanistan and take the fight to those responsible, the burial ceremonies in Afghanistan would forever bond the Green Berets of the 5th SFG (A) to the New York City first responders.
At the debate, Obama showed his and disrespect for the Green Berets and his ignorance of how wars are fought in the real world.
As a clueless technocrat, Obama has never been able to understand that you do not defeat an enemy with drones from thousands of miles away, but through the sacrifice of brave men and women, fighting under “non-optimal” conditions and adapting to their environment.
The horse soldiers did more to win Afghanistan than any of the useless and wasteful operations that Obama has since authorized. And they won it with few lives lost and great gains. They won it by understanding the battlefield, rather than by sneering at it.
As Obama prepares to purge the military, firing as 100,000 of the bravest men and women of our country, to fund his technocratic schemes with money borrowed from China and Saudi Arabia, perhaps he should pause for a moment at the foot of the statue of “De Oppresso Liber” and contemplate the accomplishments of the men who liberated millions of women, while he has subjected millions of women in Egypt and Tunisia to the repression of the new Taliban.
