An Active Duty Army Special Forces Member has written a No-Holds-Barred Indictment of our Leaders and You Can Read it Here! By Onan Coca / 4 October 2014
“To the
political leaders of America,
I write to you
today regarding my concerns about the current state in which we find our
beloved planet and your efforts in resolving the many issues we face.
Over the last
decade, we have managed to allow our mighty position at the head of the table
to dwindle down to a seat at the kids table, with our counsel being received as
if it were that of a child making a suggestion on how to cure the world of
evil: everyone thinks it is adorable, but no one takes it seriously.
To put it
politely, you all are about as successful in global politics as an overweight
middle-aged American with a severe case of tetanus trying to perform fellatio
on himself.
Understanding
that you have the attention span of indigenous forces undergoing rifle
training, I give you the options of either reading this letter in its entirety
or simply skipping to the last two paragraphs.
Sadly, you
neither get the reference about indigenous forces (ask your college educated
SMEs and think tanks) nor are you capable of making a decision on what to do
next. Go ahead and post a tweet asking for thoughts/advice and hashtag this out
with the others. #hashtaggingworldproblemsisabsurd #noseriouslystopit
#itisridiculousandembarrassing You have time, this letter will still be
here.
Due your
ineptitude in your decisions with regard to who we back with foreign aid, and
your complete lack of a spine in dealing with global threats, we find
ourselves, for the first time in ages, being looked at with eyes filled with
disdain and disrespect.
The mere
mention of ‘America’ leaves a bad taste in the mouths of our friends and
allies. The prospects of being saved by our once-great nation are now
nothing more than a fleeting thought in the hearts and minds of Third World
Country natives who dream of a life with fewer hardships than ones they
currently face—hardships that could be vanquished by the hands of a great
nation and its allies.
We have entered
into a time in which it is not only possible to spread one’s hate filled
rhetoric, it is also actually profitable and protected. Your
understanding and misinterpretations of our founding freedoms are being used
and twisted to further your own political agendas without any consideration for
the people you are meant to represent.
Your
understanding (or lack thereof) of our Constitution contributes to the complete
madness of a country that is run where someone’s rights to desecrate the flag
that represents these very freedoms is more important than the patriotic peoples
who stand to protect it. Allowing people to lose houses or be fined for
flying the American flag on their property due to it offending someone or being
against a housing covenants is beyond ludicrous. It’s both absurd and
frightening. These are just a few examples of countless rights that are
being used to tear the very fabric of which this country is founded.
You see, all of
you have forgotten the very key that makes this country work. You fight for
one’s freedoms to express their beliefs regardless of where their loyalties
lie. Using our very own founding documents, you argue that it is ones right to
speak and act freely on their beliefs, regardless of their view of this great
nation.
For fear of
offending someone to pure political motivations, you stand up for the very
people that wish to tear you down. What you, as well as most Americans have
forgotten is this: Those individual rights end where others begin! It may
be ones right to protest a certain religions display or another’s stance on
certain political views, however, it is also the others right to display and
have those stand points.
If one is
offended by a shirt displayed with an image of a gun, a flag of our nation, a
statue representing their faith in their chosen religion or any other example;
that is their right to be offended and speak out. However, it is the others
right to wear that shirt, fly that flag, display that statue or whatever else
they wish to do. Freedom cannot be one-sided. The complete madness of
political correctness is overwhelming.
You have
stripped away our 1st Amendment rights by disguising it as political
correctness and making the very people that make this country great afraid of
offending any and everyone. I use these examples in our own country as
the catalyst that has spawned our current position on the global stage.
Through
political motivation or just complete incompetence, your methods of governing
our country have clouded your views and thought processes for helping forge a
united world. We stand at the table, with weak knees and shivering hands.
Our word as a nation holding as much weight as that of our President doing
curls in the gym. We have all seen the video…
We live in a
world where you can contest our very lands with flyovers without
consequence. A world where one can sweep through two entire countries,
massacring everyone along the way with no fear repercussions. One where
sanctions and empty threats are wielded as a mighty sword against the very
enemies that threaten our existence. You fail to see that in today’s world, the
pen is not mightier than the sword.
You have
demonstrated this time and time again over the last 13 years. Take
Afghanistan for example. Politics alone have been the source of Taliban
resurgence. How could this be? Let me school you. In 2001, a mixture of CIA,
Special Forces and other Special Operations Forces (SOF), in very limited
numbers, swept through the entire country of Afghanistan, demolishing the
Taliban forces that stood in its way. Thinking that the back had been broken, we
backed off and brought more and more ground forces in the country.
As time went
on, more and more troops arrived and operational control was taken away from
the Special Operations types, to make way for conventional commands. Along with
this came more and more restricted Rules of Engagement.
Fast forward to
2006. Following more political moves and further NATO control, we found
ourselves in an Afghanistan where the freedom of movement for the insurgents is
unprecedented in Operation Enduring Freedom—a freedom of movement that not only
limits NATO troops ground movements, but also has even the hardest of SOF
elements avoiding a drive into Kandahar City. So, NATO asked the US
to help. Enter into the timeline, Operation Medusa.
US Special
Forces demolished the insurgent forces to the point that insurgent operations
in the entire country dropped. The morale of the insurgents also dropped
to an all time low, the grounds upon which the new Afghan Government stands,
are once again sturdy. Now, fast forward to present day…
What has
happened? Are the insurgents in Afghanistan fleeing and backs broken? Far from
it. All of this due to your politics. The war effort drawn down to a near
standstill due to more and more pointless commands and approval process. All,
in which serve to help some pointless commander to further his career and push
some pointless political agenda.
You see, the
current world in which we find ourselves isn’t one that can be tamed by the
pen. The evils of the world find protection behind the shield of your
politics. This is due to one simple fact. You have no clue how to
play this game. You listen and make decisions based of your Subject
Matter Experts who read about war in a book. You base your strategies on the
opinions of ‘Think Tanks’ and conventional wisdom. The answers to these
problems being spoken by the men on the ground only to be silenced by ‘yes
men’. Due to this, you will continue to fail.
Not only will
you fail in Afghanistan, you will fail in bringing peace and security back into
this world. All of these failures will be caused by you because of one
simple factor: none of you have the intestinal fortitude to do what is
necessary. You will use your own misguided experiences and delusions gained in
your failures in governing our own country as the grounds on which you base
your strategies. But understand this, you can’t defeat evil with
butterflies and rainbows. And you sure as hell can’t do it with pens and
empty words.
Face it, for
the most part, our Foreign Policy is a joke and your efforts on the global
stage are nothing short of pathetic. Not going into the fact that you all are
voted in for the people by the people to do a job, a job in which you are
failing. At least you all aren’t receiving a ridiculous paycheck and benefits
package for providing a public service. oh wait…
Our saving
grace is that there are still a handful of you that will find this, as
frustrating as it is, accurate and motivating. But, then again, if that
was the case, then we wouldn’t find ourselves in this situation. Oh the
conundrum. We have faith in our abilities as a nation. We have faith in our
abilities in unconventional war as well as faith in our ability to destroy the
current threats to the world given the freedoms and support required to do so.
So, I write to
you today calling you out. You have failed. It is time to hand that Capri Sun
and straw over before you put your eye out. You’ve been poking at that
hole for some time now. You gave it your best lil buddies, but it’s time.
Pull those trainers up around your waist, latch down the Velcro, and watch how
real men fight wars.
It is time to
unleash the hounds. You have had over a decade of war filled with
warriors that would gladly step up and fight. These former service members are
battle hardened and ready. More importantly, they understand the game. We stand
at the gates, waiting to smite all that is evil in this world. You will
not defeat the current evils in this world by playing your political chess
games because it is spreading at an alarming rate. Unleash us. Back us. Stand
behind us.
History has
shown us that evil is only successful when the righteous stand aside and do
nothing. Let us show the world that it will not tolerate the likes of
ISIS or Boko Haram. That there most certainly are repercussions for committing
atrocities. Justice will come to them swift and brutal. Step aside and let us
do what is necessary! We stand ready!”
To our Anonymous Special Forces Hero - Thank
you, Sir, for your Service and your willingness to speak when the word must be
spoken.
