Cassandra at Villainous Company: “Obama Doesn’t Get the Military he Commands.”

But worse than that, he simply doesn’t care about them, either. His actions since becoming Commander-in-Chief have clearly shown that he is a man with a palpable disdain for our military and their mission.

She opens with this frank but accurate point:

Life is full of mysteries, but chief among them in this Marine wife’s mind at the moment is, “Just how stupid does this White House think we are?” If the events of the past few months have shown us anything, it’s that Barack Obama has little enthusiasm for – or interest in – one of the most important duties of an American President: his role as Commander in Chief of the nation’s armed forces.

Make sure and read Cassandra’s entire post, but this sums it up nicely:

Obama doesn’t “get” the military because with every step they take, whether it’s on prosthetic legs or the steely sinews of a combat hardened Marine, their strength and independence give the lie to his defeatest rhetoric. All those unbowed shoulders, unbeaten spirits and uplifted heads make him profoundly uncomfortable.
