Leaders Needed

Leaders Needed - Where is the leadership in our country in the face of a radical and deadly enemy who seeks to destroy us?    We have a president who refuses to identify the enemy as radical Islam, and is determined to retreat from the battlefield.   We hear from our military leaders (mostly retired) that the fight against the enemy is being "micro managed", forces not being used or applied in a tactical or strategic way.    One example would be the poor use of air power, very few strikes and using expensive munitions against low value targets.   What could a squadron of A-10s and Apache helicopters do against the enemy in the desert environment, why no AC-130 gunships?   We are limiting our forces, fighting at a low level of combat power, and trying to find an escape strategy to get out of that area of the world.   What our president is missing is the enemy will not stop or retreat and we will see  more attacks in Europe and our own country.  Our national leadership can be accused of a dereliction of duty and putting our country at risk.   Veterans need to speak out, America needs a new voice.
